There are a couple of us in the loop....but it is time for our community to be in the loop.....(this is why we support "Chase Away K9 Cancer!") Please keep Rebecca in your thoughts and prayers.......she needs our support!!
Here is Angel and Rebecca's story as told by her.....I did speak to my vet and she said it was a stage two mass cell.
She is a Blue Nose Pitbull who was found running down the street of South Central LA. She was picked up by the police and brought to the South Central Shelter. Someone had cut off her ears with scissors, they think she had birthed at least 3 litters of puppies, had a chunk of her tongue missing, bite marks all over her throat and someone had dumped chemical/acid on her back. She was underweight, her back was horribly infected and she as going to die. A woman named Tamika (who, I have since called to thank personally) decided that Angel (then named Gina) would live. They sent her to out patient treatment and kept her at the pound for TWO months, which is unheard of. She showed NO aggression to people or animals and loved to nibble ears. She honestly was the happiest when she could nibble somone's ear! A rescue group finally pulled her just days before they were going to have to put her down. The rescue group had her in foster homes for 11 months.
No one wanted her because people thought she "looked scary." She also had to have her knee replaced on June 12th 2008....the exact same day, my boy...Walter passed away(her pup died of kidney failure). Devastated and barely able to get out of bed I looked online for a dog I could foster because I couldn't take the deafening silence that was now my home...I looked into her eyes, called the rescue, met her and that was it. An Angel (now the name) had come into my life. She is the definition of goodness and pure love. People say me, "Angel is so lucky you rescued her." To that I say...it is Angel that rescued me.
