Oliver: healthy & happy!





well Mr Oliver the pit is doing so great! i came back from vacation to find him looking even better than when i left him. while i was gone, he had a behavior evaluation from a pit bull specialist and passed with flying colors. I'm not ready to mix him with my pugs but that is a great sign for getting him adopted. A kind person (who knows what they are doing) is going to foster him, train him and get him ready for adoption. Oliver will be going to Utah Nov 21st. I'm actually driving half way to meet the trainer/foster dad. I was also going to ask if anyone could donate a little to help me with transport. (donations can be sent to my paypal account: sisteramy@hotmail.com) I feel so blessed by all the angels that have helped Oliver so far on his journey. I never thought it possible that there are so many people out there that cared for the broken and wounded ones. especially the ones that are labeled "bully breed" and dangerous to society. I have also run into a lot of opposition from ignorant. well mostly from people who just don't know any better than to "freak out" when i tell them i am helping a pit bull. their first reaction is "oh Amy, I hope you didn't go up to him!?" or "oh Amy, you have to put him down so he wont hurt anyone". although i have had more positive reactions than negative, it's frustrating how the media has portrayed the great AMERICAN pit bull. our hero during WWII, our mascot (Petey) for the "little rascals" and in days gone by they were called "Nanny dogs" as they took care of our children so well. I hate what heartless, ignorant, selfish and cruel people have done to this breed. Pits are loyal, faithful and loving. I'm so glad to have been a part of at least helping one. being in rescue, i want to "save them all" but knowing that i would go half insane trying to do that, "I will at least save ONE!" thank you all for helping me do that. spread the word of pit love now people!

here are a few pics and a video of Oliver having fun in the back yard.
