Thank You to the Amanda Foundation, Retriever Rescue, Best Friends Animal Society, Heigl Foundation and Janet Cook from Angel’s Heart Dog Rescue and all of the foster people and adopters who came out last week to help us rescue 41 dogs out of the 61st Street kennel in a little over two weeks.Ī monumental challenge for a small organization like Downtown Dog Rescue but we did it, with a lot of support from our volunteers and friends who came out to support us, transport, bathe, and take lots of dogs out to adoption.

Please consider adopting or even fostering to adopt sweet Amanda who has been to hell and back.Ĭhocolate would like to extend a special thanks to Linda Hodges for the two wonderful PET BEDS she donated to DDR! Slowly, we are teaching her to walk on a leash and allowing her to enjoy her time with our dog pack.
MUZZLE FOR PITBULL PETCO FULL
Emaciated, full of fleas, a bad eye that is still being treated, she is so grateful to have food, water, a blanket and a dog house every night to sleep in. Amanda was rescued because she had no chance of a good life if we didn’t take her. Animal Control began investigate the kennel and they were mandated to reduce their numbers this is where Downtown Dog Rescue came in. But don’t worry, Amanda is sweet sweet sweet and she did not let this bad place change the lovely personality that she has. She is definitely not a fighter but had to fight for food and water at this kennel. She was attacked by other dogs at this facility and as a result, suffered bite wounds to her face and muzzle. Off she went to a poorly run kennel where she was warehoused in a tiny crate with hardly any food and dirty water. This was ok for a few weeks until Animal Control mandated that she get rid of 12 dogs, Amanda being one of the dogs.

He found a neighbor in Compton with a yard who already had 15 dogs on her property. This worked until someone complained to the cab company. Her original owner, a taxi driver, lost his home, and he had no choice but to keep her in his taxi and drive her around with the passengers he picked up. She is a very petite and friendly pit bull terrier. She is spayed and current on all vaccinations.

Amanda is 4-5 year old and is about 35 lbs.
