On New Year's Eve day I found a very skinny pit bull mix wandering the street in Jacksonville and she had healed stitches on her back that looked like they had been done with fishing line. We took her in for a few days but when we couldn't find any shelters or rescues that would take her, we had to bring her to Animal Control. The next day, my sister (a former PetSmart trainer and foster for Losta Love rescue in Orlando) agreed to foster her and train her until we could find her a home. So, we paid the fee to get her out of Animal Control (where she was spayed, all shots given) and brought her to Orlando to my sister's home. It's been nearly a month and the stress of taking care of Ramona in addition to caring for her own two dogs, working full time and going to school is getting to her. Lotsa Love Rescue won't take her b/c many HOA's won't allow pit bulls and we haven't received any interest in adopting her even though we have been posting on Facebook and Craigslist. If we both didn't have dogs of our own, we would take her in a heartbeat, she is such a sweet dog. Please help! Pass this on to anyone you know who may be interested.
Ramona has been spayed, given her shots, microchipped, trained to sit, sit to be pet, stay and is crate trained. She has played with my sister's cat and two dogs and though she has a lot of energy, her overwhelming desire to be pet and loved makes her eager to sit in order to be pet. (As she has been trained!) This girl loves everyone unconditionally and I really hope we can find someone who will love her and be her home for life.
