Dying Pit Pull Lying On The Street, Without No One To Help

Reese, 17-lb Pit Bull, was found lying on a sidewalk.

No one had any idea how this poor baby was still alive. Her body was so severely emaciated. Animal Control was called in and they reached out to a local rescue, called Jersey Pits, hoping they could save her life.

They sent over a photo of the dog lying in the back seat of their car. Everyone who saw the photo broke down and cried. This was the worst case of abuse and neglect they had ever seen. Even when she was too weak to lift her head up, she was thankful of her new human friends.

To say she was a loving dog was an understatement. No dog deserves to suffer. The medical team took the necessary steps in order to get Reese better. She needed a lot of care. A week into her hospital stay, she was able to stand on her own for a very short time.

It was a small feat, sure, but it was something! A few weeks later, Reese was taking steps on her own. She was wagging her tail and even “sitting” on command. After a month-long hospital stay, she was discharged to go to her medical foster home.

Ryn, Reese’s foster mom, said that she was very timid in the car ride but as soon as she came inside her foster home and saw that she was safe, she “came alive.” She picked up toys and happily ran around with them.

For the first time, Reese was inside a house where all the family members cherished her. And then, in a blink, Reese totally transformed. She would jump on the couch and ask for pets and playtime. Once she was healthy enough to go on walks, she truly blossomed.

She realized there was a whole outside world waiting for her to discover. Reese continues to get better and gain weight. She is still living with Ryn as she heals. Soon she will be available for adoption and everyone who meets her is confident she will make a wonderful addition to any family.
