Hi, my name is Jenn and I operate a pit bull rescue in Upstate NY called Pitty Love Rescue. I was invited to this board after contacting Brandon to get permission to use one of the photos of him and "7". We recently had a pit bull named Sandy surrendered to us by another local rescue after they learned she was pregnant. She gave birth to 11 amazing little babies. Sadly, one passed very quickly after birth leaving 10 survivors.
While trying to figure what we were going to name these 10 babies, one of my volunteers and close friends suggested we name them after past pit bulls that have suffered abuse/neglect/cruelty in one form or another and lost their lives. It's an amazing idea and I quickly started researching to decide which namesakes we were going to use. Unfortunately there are so many to choose from. One of our babies is named after "7" to highlight the cruel world of dog fighting.
This was done so we could honor their lives and ensure their names are never forgotten. Of the 10, only one dog is an actual survivor but I felt his story was important to highlight. I'm sure you all are familiar with Bruce in Northern Ireland and how he almost lost his life due to ignorant BSL laws.
Please take a peek at Sandy and her babies!
