Can anyone take a dog?

I was sent this by a friend this morning.  Can anyone help??

My friend came across a dog two days ago. He is a pit bull- but before you say no... he is a big love bug. Lays his head in your lap and wants to be petted. She has seen him around before and he belonged to someone in the townhouse community next to her's. The owner moved and just left the dog. He has been on his one for weeks and obviously hasn't eaten. He has a big gash in his back that she is goign to take him into the vet for today. He is good on the leash and would like to run when he gets a little energy back. He has been on walks with her and passed other dogs and he really paid no attention to them. One dog came running up barking at him and he just sat there. He will be put down no matter which shelter she takes him to. She has contacted the rescues but most are too full.
 
She said there would be no question that she would keep him but she lives in a 1 1/2 bedroom townhouse with her daughter and other dog. Both the girl who found him and my friend would contribute to start up vet costs for anyone who would take him and love on him.

He looks and sounds so sweet, but we just can't go back to 3 dogs.

Email me at srgraff at sbcglobal.net if you can help!

    Ugh, that just breaks my heart.  Poor sweet thing.  If our house wasn't so small and our dog so high maintenance I'd love to.

  • There might be a few options if you can't find someone to take him. 

    I know the Citizens for Animal Protection used to take Pit Bulls.  They've been pretty full for a while so you might want to call to see if that is an option.

    Phone: (281) 497-0591

    Another option is a Pitt Bull Rescue.  Here is a list you could start with:

    http://pbrc.net/webapp/cgi-bin/orgs_by_state.cgi/c1451a08319ff4cd035d38889dfbdca7

    Just scroll down to Texas and contact all the local Pit Rescue/ No kill shelters.

  • This makes me want to cry.  I am so sensitive to animals.  Unfortunately, my dog hates other dogs and this poor lovebug would probably be terrorized by the chihuahua/jack russell devil or else I would insist on taking him.

  • Oh I love him!!!

  • OMG, he is SO cute!!!! I hope he finds a home soon.

    I already have 3 dogs and a cat in a 1 bedroom apartment, otherwise I would scoop his cute butt up before I could hit "post!"

    They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
  • Shannon, Post this on The Heights Life's FB page. There are a couple big dog people, including some rescue folks and Pit fans. There have been THREE dogs adopted off that page in the past.

  • I sooo wish we could as pitties have a special place in my heart.  I know my female would LOVE him to pieces but my little boy gets territorial and does not like any males near his sister at our house.  I really hope you find someone who can take him, he is gorgeous!

  • I have 4 fosters already or I could take him. If they still have him, have them contact Aaron at Guardian Pit Bull Rescue in Spring/The Woodlands. They are a great rescue group!

  • Have you tried Spindletop?  They are a great rescue organization and might be able to help.
