Logan is a pit bull who was rescued from dogfighting in Mexico and brought to Los Angeles in August to find a home. Before, he was living a horrible life: routinely tortured, but he is now in safe hands.

Shira Scott Astrof is the leader and founder of the ‘Animal Rescue Mission’ organization that saved Logan when he was found on the street. She has helped Logan receive needed medical care and a safe home.

    Shira Scott Astrof, a founder of ‘Animal Rescue Mission’ has shared on her Instagram saying, “From the second I met Logan, I was smitten. Despite how weak and awful he felt, he just wanted to be loved and give love.”

    His teeth were shaved down so that the other dogs could tear him apart for practice while he had to try his best to fight back to survive

    After he had no fight left in him, the people who were responsible for such a crime dumped him onto the street

    When Logan was brought to the shelter, veterinary specialists found a cancerous venereal tumor in his body

    She was the one, who made sure, Logan is well taken care of: “We visited Logan at his chemo treatment place in Tijuana. One more month to go till he can go to his forever home”

    In the shelter where he was taken care of and fed, he soon got healthy, even while undergoing chemotherapy necessary to reduce tumor viability

    Despite how horrible humans have been to him before, he is a kindhearted dog who wants to cuddle, play and give kisses

    “I’m grateful…that you’ve not only survived, but that you want to continue on to the life you so wholeheartedly deserve” is how Shira expressed her gratefulness for Logans well being.

    Soon after he was in the care of the animal rescuers, Logan found a friend – Leah, a 3-year-old dog, who was also found in the street

    “In the shelter he befriended this three year old sweet girl, who you can tell also has a sad story”, as shared by Shira on her Instagram page.

    And with the help of the people on the internet, Logan and his little friend has found a place they both can call their home

    “And thanks to everyone sharing their story, we’ve secured a foster home and we are picking them up on Friday to bring them back to LA. They deserve the world. And they’re about to get it. And they will be TOGETHER FOREVER”, the founder of ‘Animal Rescue Mission’ shared on her social media.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    I've been doing Animal Rescue Work for over 40yrs and this kind of 🦬💩 is why I (all too often) feel like human beans (pun about the brainless ones) are the worst parasites on Earth. People who abuse & torture animals (&kids) are the scum of the Earth. Those who do it for the money... sooooo much worse!!!

    I love the happy ending but I also wish pain and suffering on the AH who hurt him. I wish nothing but the worst for them.
