Late last night, my neighbour found a dog wandering our apartment complex here in Southwest Philadelphia. Not just any dog, but an incredibly emaciated, yet insanely friendly young, white male pitbull. And when I say friendly, I mean the kind of dog whose whole body wriggles when he wags his tail, which he does whenever anyone so much as looks at him. He's white with spots on his ears, amber-coloured eyes, and beautiful, expressive ears. He was so pathetically grateful for food it was heartbreaking. My well-meaning neighbour, who was reduced to tears for the dog, had given him hot dogs and chicken, and begged proper dog food from me. I did a very casual temperament test on him, and he didn't show the least signs of aggression: moving the bowl while he ate didn't bother him in the least; he only raised his head when he'd done eating to give kisses. He didn't flinch at a raised hand. He has no scars I could see. He had no problem having his ears or teeth checked, and loved having his head cuddled. He was fine on a leash, and seemed to know to sit when asked.
Animal control came to get him, and said they'd been getting calls about him for a while, but had never been able to catch him. So I have no idea how long he's been wandering the streets. Now that they do have him, though, he has less than 48 hours before he's put to sleep. I've called Little Darling from Pinups for Pitbulls, and they'll help with neutering him, as well as lend a crate to anyone willing to foster this amazing dog. There has to be someone out there willing to help him. Can someone help me find that person?
PLEASE CROSSPOST!
