My other walking buddy

[cheryl2586 3,053]

Tinker Bell was adopted by us she is a pit bull bulldog mix. She was abandoned and starved to death and infested with fleas and mites. Her ribs were still showing after being in the shelter for four months so she was very emaciated when she was found. She had never been potty trained and had some very bad behaviors such as separation anxiety and would chew my stuff up so I had to crate train her. Our Lab Jake loves her and they play together. I wanted him to have a play mate because he was getting over weight and walking just wasn't enough. People think that pit bulls are so horrible but I can tell you this little girl stole my heart. All she wants is love and attention. For those who don't know about us, my husband and I rescue abused animals. We have two dogs, four cats and two iguanas. All rescues. Tinker Bell had to be the worst abuse case I have seen. I still don't comprehend how people can be so cruel to animals. I could never abandon any of my animals ever. So that is her story. Such a horrible life the first year but she is now doing awesome. Please adopt don't shop.

@@cheryl2586 OMG I feel your comments! People can be amazingly cruel and I don't understand it either. In the last 3 months my husband and I have rescued and adopted 2 puppies, and the Mommy dog.

The story is heart breaking, long story short. Only 3 of her 5 pups survived after the shelter vet could not tell she was even pregnant she was so thin. One puppy had no scalp and the fontanel was exposed upon birth. We adopted him and his sister, and then the Mommy who is a wonderful dog. She had some aggression issues from prior abuse and other dogs attacking her, but she well adjusted at home with us and loved. That's all it takes is love...she is the best dog!

Here are couple of photo's!

We also have a Persian cat we rescued and another bangle cat we rescued and hand raised from 2 weeks old!

Awe Lisa they are so cute. People need to either stop getting pets they cant keep or spay and neuter. I don't fathom excuses of people giving up animals because you are having a baby, moving, cant keep up with them. All these things in life are to be expected at some point. You can surely keep a dog if you are having a baby. You know at some point in your life you may have to move. I just don't take well to people giving up animals for stupid reasons.

Good for you guys! Here are our two rescues.

We've had Chaos for 9 years. She is a Shepherd/Lab Mix.

We've had Memphis for just under a year. When we adopted her, she was tiny and we were told she was a lab mix. To our surprise she is a Pointer/Great Dane Mix. Can we pick 'em or what?

We love them both! : )
