DON'T BREED OR BUY, SAVE AN ANIMALS LIFE, ADOPT ONE!!

SAVE AN ANIMALS LIFE, ADOPT ONE!!

Every day thousands of dogs & cats are put to death in Illinois alone. Animal shelters throughout the state are filled with animals of all breeds, ages & sizes that were given up by their owners or found as strays. Most of those animals would have been loyal & loving companions, enriching the lives of individuals & families, if they had been given a chance to do so. Instead of buying a dog or cat from a pet store or breeder, you can save a life & enjoy the affection & devotion of an adopted animal.

Pictured with our logo is a dog that we named Trooper. When you read his story you will see why he was given that name. He was an abused pit bull that our rescue saved. He was used for dog fighting and was covered in wounds, many fresh ones and some that was trying to scab. He also had a couple of serious stab wounds. A video camera outside of a vets office showed a guy (who was never caught) dragging him down the road by a rope. He was tied to a pole and left to die. His poor body was all skinned up and bloody. Animal control was called and he was going to be put down. Our rescue received an urgent call about him, we immediately stepped up and saved him that night. He had urgent surgery, with so many stitches and drain tubes. He spent several days in critical care at the vets hospital, as we hoped and prayed that he would survive, and he did! As his body laid, when we would visit his tail would wag!
If only we could be as forgiving as this sweet dog, he didn't hold a grudge towards humans. We had several wonderful months with Trooper before learning that he had experienced extreme head trauma in his past resulting In a brain tumor. He started having uncontrollable seizures late one night and his body started shutting down, sadly we lost him. Our rescue made Trooper a promise that he would never be forgotten. Since day one, our Facebook page for years now has had Trooper as our profile pic and now he's our Instagram profile pic too, along with our first picture posted (this one) that tells his story. Trooper taught us about forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love. Trooper...You will always be in our hearts. 💔🐾 #rescue #rescuedog #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #pits #breed #discrimination #alldogsmatter #compassion #unconditionallove #loyalty #foster #dogslivesmatter #pitbulladvocate #pitbulllife #adoption #savealife #youmatter #MakingADifferenceRescue
