My Mission

Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent


Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Dumped Pitbull Desperate – Can You Help?

barrow409urgentpit1We wish we could save them all.  They all deserve love and a home.  Every now and then one will come along that will really touch someone for one reason or another and this is one of those times.  A dear friend asked me to show this poor baby and because she gives so much, I couldn’t turn her or him down.

This pitbull was dumped, injured and emaciated and he desperately needs help. Can you help or at least get the word out. We all know that bad rap pitbulls get and how hard it is to get them adopted. Georgia is a tough state to be a stray in, so many dogs and so many dogs killed.

This is the info from Michelle Beckemeyer, ACO at Barrow County Animal Control:

barrow409urgentpit3I have another sad case for you. This guy was dumped out on the road. He is very sweet with adults. He is extremely underweight, some type of skin infection, and a large wound on his left leg. He has no food aggression with people whatsoever. He really needs someone with some patience as he is very unsure about a lot of situations. He does like to ride in the car though. On the trip to the shelter, he fell asleep on the backseat and started snoring! He is not scheduled for tomorrow, but needs to go ASAP so he can get some care for his wound. Please pass on to everyone you can. He has a very pitiful puppy look about him that I just couldn’t capture on camera.

If you can help, contact Michele at the Barrow County Animal Shelter at 770-307-3012 or by email at mbeckemeyer@barrowga.org

Please, spread the word.  Give this poor boy a chance!

Margaret, thank you for sending me the info on this boy, hopefully someone out there can help.

    Thank you so very much for your help with this :) With so much horror and cruelty out there-
    sometimes for whatever reason- one animal just kinda grabs your heart and this baby grabbed mine.

  • Susie

    I have seen this post thru rescue, and when I first saw it, it broke my heart. What a beautiful baby, who did not deserve this type of treatment. He does have beautiful eyes, eyes that say love me, feed me, I will be your best friend.

    I am hoping that just because he is a pit, people will not back off and not help him because he is a pit. Pits are love bugs and cuddlers and sweet as they come.

    I am hoping a pit rescue will take this baby and get him in tip top shape, and he will learn that not all humans are not trustworthy.

    Those eyes look like they’re saying “please don’t hurt me anymore” and “please help me” …..it’s so sad to think of what this poor baby’s been through. I don’t have any money to donate til payday. I hope you will collect enough to help him. It is so sad that these innocent loving creatures can be treated so badly with no way to get out of the situation. At least he is finally feeling some affection and kindness from people now.

    What a beautiful face…this poor dog deserves a new home where he can be shown love and attention…Pit bulls have been given such a bad rap because of the mongrels who fight them…in the right hands they are gentle and loving dogs…my heart goes out to this beautiful dog…he must be found a good home where he can finally feel safe and loved…I will pray for this…a total animal lover xxx

    Awwww…the little darlin’. Another reason I have such a difficult time giving a damn about the human race. Here in my town…won’t say where, for fear of someone coming here to harm them, (high in the Sierra Mountains), there are a lot of Pittbulls. Well loved and well taken care of. AND, I haven’t come across a single one that wasn’t a happy, sweet, wag tail of a dog. When we run into them out in the trees and, creeks and mountains, they are so playful with mine and my friends dogs. They mean no one, not one single breathing thing on this earth any harm whatsoever! I sure hope this sweet baby gets a wonderful forever home. I will send this on to a couple of locals here and pray.

  • Jessie

    E-mail sent with prayers he will get a good home here or somewhere very soon.

  • Terry

    I would love to help , but I rescued 2 already as well as another little guy , but here in Ontario Canada they are banned .Go get a hand gun and get into a gang , thats OK , but do not get a pitbull

  • Marsharina

    It is with sadness but hope & glee that we have rescued 2 pittbulls and 3 kitties who have proven they have the desire, intelligence, and ability to get along and never hurt one another. That says a lot about the sickness, cruelty, and evil in some humans. May God either educate or curse the evil people who lack humanity for animals and one another.When they suffer, let them know it is because of the way they live their lives.

  • whitewolfmaiden

    Ohhh…This just breaks my heart! I hate to see animals abandoned and mistreated this way! I really wish I could take him in and would in a heartbeat but I am so far away in New Mexico. I do hope someone near him can give him a wonderful new home full of love and care! He looks so sweet and gentle. Why would anyone do such a thing to an animal? My heart cries out to him!
