We rescued Butterscotch, an American Pit Bull Terrier, in the fall of 2008 from an abandoned apartment building in Chicago. She had been left for dead by gang members for a week before we found out about her and went in to rescue her. She was obviously terrified, malnourished and dehydrated, and we could see the sadness in her eyes. Although she is only about 1 year old, she had already had a littler and was obviously used for breeding.
We already had 3 rescue dogs at home and were not planning on taking in another, especially a pit bull ... but from the moment we laid eyes on her, we knew we had to do whatever it would take to save her ... which ultimaltely ended up in keeping her. Her rehabilitation is still a work in progress and has been worth every moment.
Butterscotch has been a true blessing to us, our other dogs and our entire family!
