That goes double for adult dogs like Tucker, a gorgeous black pit bull.
“Tucker has actually remained in rescue for 2 years,” said Jane-Howard Staples of the Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary, organizers of Sunday’s adoption chance. “He was abandoned on a train beyond somebody’s house near Charlotte. And we got him off the train and into rescue. He had heartworm illness truly terribly. We treated him for heartworm illness.”
“He got very healthy. And he’s the sweetest dog, as you can see right here. He simply likes everybody. He satisfies other dogs and individuals simply appear to pass him by on the website. There’s simply a great deal of pit bull types out there, and a great deal of black dogs. Statistically, they’re simply simpler to neglect due to the fact that the electronic camera does not capture their faces also. And so he’s simply one of those dogs that gets overlooked for no…no good reason,” she continued.
Staples said the puppies really need some TLC.
“All of which either were born in rescue or were born in the shelter. And we brought them into rescue shortly after, so there’s a lot of pregnant mama dogs in the shelter all the time, especially right now,” she said. “And shelters are simply not a good place for a dog. It’s just very stressful for the moms and for the babies. So we try to get them out of there as soon as possible. One of the guys was about to burst any day, and she had pups. She had puppies in the rescue at a foster home.”
Beautiful Together is a non-profit seeking donations for the space they’re building on 83 acres of Chapel Hill farmland for animals that require refuge. While that’s underway, they’re still working to connect with potential forever homes.
“There is a fee,” she said, “So, the adoption donation goes towards helping dogs like Tucker that need heartworm treatment or dogs that come in with broken bones. And we have to spend a great deal of money on surgery for those we always spay and neuter dogs if they’re of age to be spayed and neutered…you can put an application straight from his profile and it’ll apply to adopt him. And he’s great with everybody except for small animals. Small dogs and cats are a no-go with him.”
And if you’re a feline fancier, they can connect you with cats that require houses, too.
