Good job guys!

Leon, that's so great of you to foster those two sweet dogs. Our puppy Cassie came from that shelter in Mesquite! Small world.

Thanks for doing this, Jeff (and all who have helped) It's appreciated.
Sort of unrelated to Safe Haven Furever, as I do my own rescue fostering for a rescue here locally in the Dallas area, both dogs shown above are being taken to Keller, Texas this evening, at a meeting point, for their long ride to The Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue tomorrow. It is always sad to see them go but at least they weren't, and won't be, put down. Both Miles and Hershey have been the most perfect dogs anyone could want. They don't have any aggressiveness in them. Hershey has been with my other 5 dogs with nary a problem. They all get along fine. I couldn't let Miles in with all of the others for a few reasons. He is sweet but just too big to mix with all of them, but more importantly he has been getting first aid for his right eye the whole time here. It got bruised somehow and is being tended to. Otherwise he could have mixed with some of them at a time.

But they are gone this evening. Onto the next ones.
Thanks again also to our members for letting us do this stuff on the forum without getting too upset.

Yeah, all pit bull owners say how sweet and gentle their dogs are, and never can believe it when their dog bites some little girl's arm off, or rips the throat out of some little boy. Every month or so you hear about these dogs attacking and maiming or killing another child - and yet these dogs still aren't banned. Mystifying to me...

I hope the owner of that rott-pit mix doesn't have young children - putting a yellow bow on its head doesn't change that dog's true disposition.

This last exchange (posts #'s 9 & 10) cries out for another request to spayed or neuter your pet. There are already plenty of good dogs available at the many, many shelters...go get one and train him or her right.

I deleted the tirade, though I stand behind what was said, and will only say you are sadly wrong. Here is one of many studies on the subject. Read up on Pit Bulls, from scientific studies, and then write responses which are informed. The media touts pit bull problems, in particular, because it sells. Furthermore when studies do show Pits attack more often it is always due to external factors surrounding the specific dog (almost 100% of the time they have been abused) , not the dog breed that is the issue.

https://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/ab...ma.243.12.1726

and the conclusion included in the above research of Dog Bite Related Fatalities between 2000-2009-

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Most DBRFs (Dog Bite Related Fatalities) were characterized by coincident, preventable factors; breed was not one of these. Study results supported previous recommendations for multifactorial approaches, instead of single-factor solutions such as breed-specific legislation, for dog bite prevention.

I've had two rescue pits, one rescue pit/pointer mix, two purebred rottweilers, and a number of other rescue dogs over the last 20 years. Only one of my dogs has ever bitten anyone: The wife's mini dachshund that she bought from a pet store. The only thing the big bad pits and rotties ever did was lick someone. One morning I came out and noticed that a group of young kittens we were fostering was missing. I was worried that the rottie might have done something. Yep. I found her in the living room on the floor with eight kittens nursing on her. I've never worried about my pits or rotties and they have been the most loving, trustworthy animals I have ever known.
