My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

These two pups are the victims of horrible cruelty. Beaten, starved, used as bait dogs to train other dogs to fight and then dumped off and left to die at a warehouse. They were found in terrible shape, multiple bite wounds, heart worms, and a number of other injuries. Yet, through the abuse they suffered they still ADORE people! We need foster/permanent homes for both and would love to keep them together if at all possible as they do very well together and appear to be bonded. They are currently being treated/boarded but are available for foster or adoption as of Oct 14, 2011. All costs to complete treatment for any illnesses or injuries will be taken care of by The Underdog Foundation, we simply need loving foster or permanent homes for them
