I mentioned [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=449780) about this puppy that wouldn’t leave my yard. I called everywhere I could think of, and no shelters are willing to take any Pit Bulls. I really didn’t want to call the pound. Anyway, I found a home for her. I went from no one wanting her to actually finding a few homes for her. Once everyone saw her in person, they couldn’t resist. I even took her to the vet first to get her wound taken care of, and worm her. I spent $71 dollars, but who needs electricity, right? Her name is Roxy and could you resist this [face](http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd21/womanofscorn/puppy.jpg)? Now my husband wants to start some kind of animal rescue. Mind you, he didn’t have to find her a home or take her to the vet so I’m sure it seemed great to him. He can pipe dream all he wants 😃 . Oh yeah and sorry for the bad picture, but it was taken with my camera phone. ---

Awwww, she’s cute. I’m glad you’ve found someone for her! ---

Good for you, **WomanofScorn!** Roxy’s a real cutie! I just wanted to add that some shelters \*will \*take pit bulls to adopt out. I was at one yesterday and they had at least ten of them. They were all about a year old so I’m guessing they were all from the same litter. I hope they all have the good fortune Roxie did and wind up with good homes soon. ---

Last year around this time my husband called me at work to tell me that a little dog was lost and sitting in our driveway. I had lost my dog of 12 years not long before, and I wasn’t ready to think about having another dog, and I didn’t think I’d be interested in a Pitt Bull, either. Long story short, we adopted her and saved her from an almost certain life of crime. I love my little Mabel girl! She is a very sweet dog. I’m glad to hear you helped save one, too. You did do a good thing! ---

I called to all I could find in my and surrounding areas. The only other option was to find a Pit Bull rescue. All those were in the northern part of the state, the closest being 5 hours away. Anyway, she’s settled into her new home very well and everyone adores her. I’m just happy it all worked out.
