Every year, millions of dogs find themselves abandoned and without a home — and sadly, it's pit bulls that are often at the top of these terrible statistics.
A study by the organization Animal People reports a 93% euthanasia rate for pit bulls, with only one in 600 pits finding a forever home.
But thankfully, the amazing folks at Midlands Humane Society are making a dent in those numbers — as with the rescue of these two starving pups found in an abandoned building.
Recently, they came across one of their most tragic cases yet: a pittie named Bisa who was so neglected, they weren't even sure she'd survive. Poor Bisa's skin infections and mange were so severe she had almost no fur left on her body.
But with some swift medical attention, proper care and a whole lot of love, her wonderful caretakers say Bisa is looking like a whole new dog.
You won't believe this transformation…
This is little Bisa when she was rescued. She was suffering from worms and looked incredibly ill.
The Midlands Humane Society knew they couldn't give up on Bisa, so they took her in and promised to give her a wonderful home. Just look at that sweet face!
After being dewormed and taking many medical baths, Bisa started looking like her old self again — a very playful pup!
Bisa’s recover was so inspiring, Midlands Humane Society created a Facebook page in her honor. Her foster mother, April, hopes this page can inspire others to believe in the power of rescue and adoption.
Shelter dogs can provide just as much joy and comfort as any other dog. There's a huge misconception that rescue dogs are somehow "damaged" — but that's just not the case. These sweet pups keep their gentle nature forever. Look how much Bisa just wants to play!
Bisa is now healthy, happy, and very loved — and we here at LittleThings couldn't be any happier about it!
We're so happy Bisa has found a safe place to call home! Find out more about Midlands Humane Society and all the amazing work they do for so many dogs like Bisa.
