A friend on a dachsie board was told about a stray pitbull a few miles from her house. Having known only the "bad rap" the dogs get, she went to see him and little by little fell in love. She would bring food and water daily trying to get him to come to her so she could help him. After a few weeks of looking forward to her visits and recognizing her car, he got to being just about 5 feet away. That's when a neighbor called Animal Control and they set a trap.
We viewed this as a blessing in disguise. Now, he'd be in the new state of the art shelter and out of the hot sun. However, the shelter was a kill shelter and from the minute he was taken in, my friend worked to get a rescue for him (she cannot take him herself). She has secured a rescue who will take him on May 5th. She is paying for his kenneling (until they have room in a home, if that happens) with them for 3 months. She has care packages and a crate for him.
We just want to see "Bandit" get a good home. If anyone knows someone looking for a sweetie of a dog who just wants to be loved (and not brought from place to place) please let me know. He is in Sierra Vista (I think) until Tuesday.
I have pictures if you'd like to see them. He is ADORABLE!
