I signed up for an email service that was supposed to notify me if any Great Danes showed up at the L.A. city and county animal shelters. Today I got my first email. I opened it with happy anticipation, only to find that the email listed “Great Dane (and similar breed).” Translation: Pit Bulls!
The email listed about 200 pit bulls! Among them were two Great Dane mixes -- both Danes mixed with -- you guessed it -- pit bulls.
Above is a photo of one of the Dane-Pit Bull mixes available for adoption. She looks a lot more like a pit bull than a Dane to me! But I do hope she finds a home. Click here for more info on adopting this dog. Her name is Sahara.
We were cleaning out a closet and found a lost photo of Winston -- a happy surprise.
Dillon and I are still missing Winston a lot. We want to get another dog again soon, and I'm getting closer to being ready. I go to the nearby animal shelter sometimes, just so I can be around dogs. I felt very drawn to the old, sick ones, an odd attraction that I never felt until after Winston died. But this week I felt most connected to the friendliest dogs, and I think it's a sign of healing.

It's so terrible the amount of pit bulls up for rescue..here it seems to be those and Malamute/huskies ...trendy for a year or so, alot of work, grooming or training and they are tossed aside...makes your heart cry...
are you going to post the photo..would love to see it..
have you thought of volunteering as a walker at the pounds,you would be near dogs & helping untill you find your angel...just a thought
