This guy – Fig – found a forever home! From Jersey Pits Rescue Facebook:
“Fig is doing fantastic here at home! He is very attentive of all our whereabouts and is always there to greet the kids at the door when they get home from school. Him and his new sister love to play and lounge around the house together. He is the biggest , sweetest cuddle bug and is doing an amazing job at being gentle with our children. We all love him so much and happy he is with us 😊”

So happy Fig was saved! Hopefully, he’ll have a wonderful life with his new family.
I hardly trust myself to contribute to this w/o an hr of tears. I rescued a dog who’d been “running the freeway.” Her beautiful companion dog was hit/obliterated by freeway traffic …. neighbors to my school finally enticed my eventual rescue in & kept her in a back yard, & I picked her up. She was something like 35 lbs…we called her “calf head” b/c her head was WAY too large for her emaciated body. We came to understand that she was definitely a mix of Lab, Shar Pei, & Mastiff. When she was healthy, she weighed 100 lbs. (!) I don’t know how she survived at the 35 lb rescue weight. And, in her old age, she weighed-in at about 130 lb, not unheard of for the Mastiff in her. She went on to live w/us thru’ knee re-attachment surgery, cancer surgery, & constant vigilance w/almost instantaneous serous skin outbreaks (Shar Pei gene). Her name was “Sugar” b/c she was the most sweet, gentle “giant” dog you’d ever meet….a vet could do almost ANYTHING to her w/o anesthesia except an invasive operation..& she was calm/stoic. We don’t know exactly how old she was when we got her…but young, like a year old…& when we said good-bye to her (spinal stenosis did not allow her to walk anymore—THO’ all other systems were 100%)….she was, to our reckoning, nearing 14 yrs old….so long for such a large mixed-breed. We were so blessed & I miss her everyday.
Calgirl . . . Your note above truly brought me to tears. Truly, “Sugar” was an angel sent to you from Heaven to your family. Thank you for sharing.
Sweet!
You can just see in that he/she is pleased with having found a real family of its own. Wonderful!!!!!!
For some reason, I did not get to view the story behind Fig’s rescue–then I went back and it appeared. I was broulthght to tears by the sorry state that this baby was found in. I am so glad that someone found him, and he was nurtured and brought back to full health. This really was a phenomenal story. God Bless those who played a part in this rescue!
As I have added comments to this, I am laying on my bed and my laptop is tilted which seems to add alphabetical characters to words which were written in lines that appear above. In the second sentence of the above comment, second line–the word which reads “broulthght” should read “brought.” (Gosh, if I really cannot spell any better than that–all the money my dear parent’s spend in getting a college education for me was a phenomenal W-A-S-T-E !!!) Somehow, I forget to reread what I have written in order to edit before I hit the “Post Comment” button. Sorry!
Sounds like you have sorta the OPPOSITE of Spell Correct. LOL That’s okay though,my phone tends to re-post my last post unless I go back and repeatedly delete the second,third,fourth,etc. versions. Don’t you just LOVE Technology?
No worries. My computer has a mind of its own and often will suddenly “jump” lines to go back to where my typing is adding words to a first line when it should be adding to the 4th typed line and so it makes NO SENSE…..I find out later after posting something. 🙂 I don’t even apologize. Your life on a computer is somewhat like life on Earth these “modern” days: five minutes later, no one notices anything anyway b/c they are already on to “the next thing.” But, bless you for caring to apologize 🙂 .
I’m betting Fig has a waiting list of people who want to be adopted by him. What a WONDERFUL Dog.
