Out of the Pits - Spay-Neuter Snippets

Spay-Neuter Snippets

Many of our applicants have told us about how your pit bull came into your life - How you saw a dog at the shelter, and just “knew”. Or how your son or daughter went away to college, and left you home with a wiggly blockhead...

We also heard stories of how people you knew could no longer afford to care for their pit bull. Or how you learned that a dog was being neglected – tied in a yard, or left without food - Or even how one of these amazing bullies was being abused at the hands of another person.

Regardless of the specifics, you were there when, for some of you, the responsibility of a dog was the last thing on your agenda - or in your budget. But you did it because you knew it was the right thing to do.

These are your stories…

Dear Out of the Pits,

I just wanted to let you know that Mia had her spay surgery yesterday. She did very well, is home now and resting.

I want to thank you, and let you know that the entire staff at Albany County Vet was amazing and wonderful to me and they especially loved Mia. They took absolutely excellent care of her.

As soon as I can I will be forwarding you a donation in Mia's name.

Again,

Thank you so much.

Dear Out of the Pits,

I just sent in my application for Jada. This would really help me out, I'm a single mother and love my pit bull and know its only best for her to get her spayed but I don't have the money to get the procedure done.

I think what your organization does is amazing, I'm a huge pro pit bull lover and want the change everyone's perspective of this amazing breed. Hope to hear from you soon!

Those two girls are my world!

This is going to help us out tremendously!

Thanks, Jorden

Dear Out of the Pits,

Thank you very much for everything. Sasha got her shots and was spayed yesterday and is doing fine.

Thank you again for your help,

Nancy and Sasha

Dear Out of the Pits,

I just wanted to say thank you again.

I am so grateful for the fix-a-bull program.

As you know we adopted Mia a year and a half old pit bull from a family who was no longer able to care for her. Being broke grad students we were having trouble coming up with the four hundred dollars our veterinarian quoted us to spay Mia.

Thanks to your program Mia got her surgery done free of charge. She is doing wonderful and is a very happy dog. If there is anything we can do to give back please let me know.

Thanks,

Jaclyn and Mia

Dear Out of the Pits,

This is Roxy. She's Awesome!

She is, what we feel, a rescue from certain death at the hands of the pound or, at best, poor living conditions. A friend of my daughter had the dog for 10 months and due to sudden circumstances, he was unable to get her taken care of found that he could not keep her any longer.

He gave Roxy to another who also found that she could not keep her and was planning to give her to the pound. I became aware of this and decided that Roxy, being only 10 months old was not given a fair enough chance at life. I retrieved her with great haste and brought her home.
