I am not sure if they were dogs in a fight or part of a dog fighting operation. I would hope if it were the second all the dogs would be taken into Animal Control.
We do hear some horror stories around here related to Pit Bulls. Since I have started volunteering at this shelter I have grown to really like the ones we get in. We primarily get small to medium dogs because that is what we are set up to house in the shelter but we do get some Pit Bulls.
My experience the ones we have gotten in have been so mistreated that by the time they get to us their spirit has been really broken. A few weeks of vet care, good meals and training with our handlers they are wonderful dogs.
We had one Pit Bull who came in about a year ago, she was so abused she had been hit in the head with something and her teeth were missing and her jaw was crooked. The Staff named her Mercy, after months of care we lost her due to a blood diesese. The Staff and Volunteers were heartbroken, they started a fund called the Mercy Fund so that we can take in these guys and help them. I think Frankie is getting help from the Mercy Fund also.
