Pit Bulls

This blog is going to be for followers who want to keep track of how the three Pit Bulls that I rescued are doing. Anyone else who follows this blog, I hope you see how you can make a huge difference in these dogs lives if you do the same. They all deserve better.
A few weeks ago there was a drug bust in Quincy, IL and this unnamed person had 8 Pit Bulls that got seized. Currently there were only 6 signed over to the county shelter. These 6 dogs were very sweet and very scared. Since there are so many "unwanted" dogs in this area (and all over the world) they only have 3 days to get adopted before they are euthanized.
Photos flew around facebook pleading for adoptions/rescues. Day 2, no one had spoken up yet. After no sleep and tears, my Fiance agreed that we can adopt 1 and foster 2. So..we can save half! I knew I was going to be torn when I got there. How can we just CHOOSE 3? I didn't want to play God. Delightfully, when we got there another rescue/foster home was there to take the other three. And all the dogs were saved.
The first one we got was Tiger. He is a Brindle Male, and as long as everything works out, he will be the one that we will adopt. He is 1yr old and weighed 49lbs when we brought him home. He could easily take on another 10lbs. He's very skinny.


How can you resist that sad face? We couldn't. And he is as sweet as those eyes are sad.
The next one we adopted (my personal favorite) is Lightning:
She is very very sweet. She is also deaf, which makes me love her even more. I think she will be a challenge to train, but it's very doable and I'm up for it. She is very attentive and doesn't stray to far from me. She has a very playful personality and LOVES to be petted. She is also 1yr old and has some weight to gain! <3

The next dog we rescued and are fostering is Lightning's sister, Thunder.
Thunder is a very sweet girl like her sister Lightning. She can hear and is very playful as well. She is very protective of her sister. Although, Lightning seems to be the leader of the two.
I think I'm going to change their names, they don't know their current names yet. So from now on in this blog. Lightning will be Delilah, and Thunder will be Daisy :)
The way you can tell them apart by looks is Delilah (aka Lightning) has pink on her nose and Daisy (aka Thunder) does not. Her nose is all black.
The other three that got rescued are Snow, the momma, she was 8yrs old. Queenie a brown female, with black muzzle. She was 5yrs old. And Bandit, Daisy & Delilah sister.
