Going to an animal shelter will make you cry, at least I did. Had to leave, got a wild hound that had scars from being tied up for fights. This poor dog ruined all his fangs and short teeth chewing through nylon truck ropes. My son in law found him almost starved to death on a jobsiight in the middle of nowhere. That’s how I got Chip

A year ago I adopted a 5 y/o black lab who had been chained up outside on a concrete pad and not allowed in the house. We live in AZ -he has several scars on his legs from the heat 🙁
(I later found out he had originally been a service dog for a woman who went into a facility) He’s absolutely amazing and loved sooo much.
