Unfortunately, most dogs that are found in fighting rings are put down because they are presumed to be dangerous. When Tim Racer and Donna Reynolds of BAD RAP heard the story of the NFL star's dogs they were eager to save as many of them as they could. They flew out to Virginia in September along with Justin Phillips of Monterey SPCA to join a team of six other volunteers set to evaluate the temperament of the 48 dogs, in hopes of saving them from an unfortunate ending to the rough lives they had already lived. After two months of hard work, the dogs were finally granted their paper work which allowed them permission to be transferred out of the Virginia shelters. Out of the 48 rescued, Twenty-two dogs were quite happy with people and "dog social" enough to be put in foster homes in the state of Virginia. The other sixteen were allowed to leave the shelters early in October in order to begin their healing in a quieter setting.
I'm so glad these dogs were saved- I have always loved pitbulls. I see a lot of people get these type dogs so they can prove their manliness or feed their ego but they have no clue.
I'm so happy these dogs are being given a second chase, they definitely deserve it. I hope they all find loving homes.
God Bless you for caring enough and then doing so much for these dogs. I hope and pray they will live out their lives free from pain and fear.
It is a shame that those who fight these dogs could not be savagely attacked by a larger animal and told to lick their wounds and get back in and go again! sorry but karma is the only thing that makes me less angry - think about what will come to them x3 for treating these animals in such cruel ways! Thank you for caring so much and giving of your time. You are appreciated.
Thank you for keeping us all informed about these dogs. Whether or not you like pit bulls, it's important that they be given a chance to overcome what humans have done to them. In this case, we were all so drawn into the story and I think a lot of us needed to know that these poor babies would get some love and you've given them that. Again - THANK YOU.
I totally agree Lupelareau. These "humans" will get thiers. I'm just happy the dogs have a better life now.
My belief is every animal should be given a lot of love........ Maybe if everyone felt this way we could stop all this animal abuse
THANK GOD THIS POOR PUPS WERE SAVED FROM THIS CRUEL '''' THANK GOD THEY GOT ANOTHER CHANCE I HOPE THEY ARE VERY HAPPY AND BEING LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother is 62 years old and has 4 pitbulls. But she is now unable to take care of them financially.I need help in helping her find a good adoption agency that will adoption them and not hurt them, or have them killed. When speaking of giving them away she get so very emotionally. Please help. ~ Tina
This was indeed a landmark case where these beautiful and sad animals were given a second chance. I have a pit bull mix and work for a humane society that gets many pure and mixed pits. They are all God's creatures and are wonderful companions. Bless all who gave freely to help these special dogs get their second chance for love and companionship.
Those dogs are beautiful, and what they were put through was tragic, but it's fortunate that they were able to be rescued and given homes.
it is a shame in this day and age that a celebrity could even begin a fighting ring. I am glad that those dogs were taken and given a second chance. It breaks my heart to think of the pain they have endured. God Bless all who were part of the rescue and salvation of these beautiful dogs.
