Before And After Adoption
Sardonic Scribe 7 years ago
For some reason it always bothers me when people have their dogs ears clipped. I know it's akin to having you ears pierced, but I still find it so cruel. Otherwise - what a proud boy in the second pic! I love me a good pit! :D
Ariel 7 years ago
I agree that it is cruel, unnecessary and natural ears look far better.

I hate what people do to their ears! It is very painful and often done with crude instruments such as knives or scissors, and without anesthesia. Many do this to pitties to make them look "more mean." It makes me cringe! I'm glad that this boy found his forever home!
Joan Churton 7 years ago
This first picture made me cry. He is so sad and my heart just aches for him. He looks like he could melt into the wall. The second picture is just a masterpiece. He is so proud and happy. I bet he is being treated like a king. Thank you for rescuing him. I appreciate you sharing.

Hank! Abuse Left This Poor Pup With Scars And Timidness, But Now He Smiles Ear-To-Ear
Doubanji 7 years ago
It's amazing how good dogs are at trusting again after they've been abused. They forget about the scars, put aside the timidness and throw themselves heart, soul and body into thier new life with thier new people who have so far proven to be loving. Meanwhile there are scores of humans isolating themselves and living partial lives because the idea of trusting again is too scary. Dogs have an aweful lot to teach us with thier enormous and open hearts and thier willingness to take a chance and put aside those old scars. I wish I had half the bravery, heart and Joie de Vivre of this beautiful dog!!

OMG, it looks like that eye has exploded :'( that poor baby!! Poor dog looks so much better in the second obviously, but this is the first one that appear to have been irrevocably damaged by its former life. This just makes me so damn cross. There's no need for any of this!! In any civilised country there are shelters, vets, wardens who will take in injured and unwanted dogs. Even if they say you have to wait/pay and you can't for whatever reason there are ways to get your dog to a safe place where it'll be noticed or call it in yourself and watch out for someone to come rescue it. It's not rocket science!! To take an animal that has only ever lived in a house and had food provided in a bowl and dump it is the equivalent of dumping your 10 year old 100 miles from civilization and going "ah well, if he makes it he makes it"... I'm just so mad right now!!!

When I volunteered at an SPCA, people would return dogs that couldn't be trained. Sometimes it's not the dog's fault they can't be "trained." With firm but kind guidance, almost any dog can become a great household family member! But it takes time and patience. Many don't have the time nor the patience to train a dog properly; and it is better than just abandoning them.
