I adopted Pilar about 7 days ago. A woman I recognized as a neighbor’s mother approached me while working in my yard. She explained her son was moving to Tenn. and couldn’t take all his dogs. So he kept the two oldest and found a family for one dog. He was unable to rehome Pilar his female, red nosed PitBull. All the rescues were full. I of course adopted her on the spot. As her name implies, she is very affectionate, loving, and loyal. She took immediately to my male Pit, Luca. I figure what’s one more dog, now I have ten.
