The Nanny Dog

Do you know what a nanny dog is? A "nanny dog" is the name given to pit bull terriers many, many years ago. Pit bulls were called nanny dogs because they were loyal, caring companions for children.

We have forgotten that their history is of a loving, caring family pet. They were treated as a part of the family. They were loved and respected and they gave love and respect in return. Todays' view of the pit bull is very different.

They are viewed as aggressive and dangerous animals and have been banned in many places. The pit bulls that are aggressive have been trained by their owners to be aggressive. Their nature is to love and to please the people that own them.

Our society blames the pit bulls. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the owners that train them to fight and to be aggressive. Dogs do not train themselves, people train them. Michael Vicks' recent trial and conviction for dog fighting is a step in the right direction. He was held accountable for his actions and the abuse of the dogs in his care. Every person that conducts themselves in such a manner should be held accountable in the same manner.

The pit bulls should not be punished for their actions because of owners training them in inappropriate behaviors. Responsible dog ownership brings about very much different behavior in dogs.

I hope that more people will remember pit bulls as nanny dogs in the future and give these dogs a chance to show their loving, caring nature. I will qualify what I am writing by saying that I am a pit bull owner and there is no more loving animal than my "nanny dog".

Good with Dogs, Cats, and kids

Sweet 1y Brindle F Pit X Good with Dogs, Cats, Kids," approx 50 lbs This Darling Sweet Gal urgently needs a home/foster home... she is in boarding and she is so depressed... WE HAVE RUN OUT OF FUNDS TO BOARD HER!!!... so please help by giving her a home/foster home or SPONSOR HER !

"They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation." - Jerome K. Jerome TINA a sweet and shy 1 yr f brindle pit x was saved from death row at the NYC City Shelter... She was brought in as a stray and arrived very frightened, handshy and flinching when touched... a clear sign that someone "abused her by hitting" her. A few days later, she was much more comfortable, and wanted to make friends with everyone she met... Yet, she remains a little cautious but she is not aggressive in the least. She walks nicely on a leash and needs some more work on the housetraining as she has some accidents.. She's very very sweet, pretty and her lean slim body makes us think she has a little greyhound in her. She's GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS AND CATS and think she would be fine with kids 7 yrs+ .She's medium size at 49 lbs... Please help us to keep her from going back to the shelter by ADOPTING or FOSTERING her ASAP!

If you can commit to adopting or fostering Tina ASAP.. please send e-mail to: heavencanwaitrescueny@gmail.com or call #212-533-0822 and leave your contact#s - THANK YOU! *Pls note there will be a reasonable adoption donation fee to cover shots, spay surgery, microchip and transport

If you would like to SPONSOR Tina by making a donation - you can do so via PAY PAL to: HeavenCanWaitRescueNY@gmail.com

Jordon needs a home ASAP!

**** JORDAN came all the way to the NYC area for an adopter who ended up INJURING HERSELF and backed out!!! Jordan is in limbo and his foster cannot keep him. PLEASE HELP!****

Jordan and his brother Jeremiah came into the shelter together, starved owner surrenders, neglected for some time. Both were sponsored-- both were supposed to be rescued---
Saved from death row, keneled for months, now in a foster home-- enough already! Jordan would live a family to call his own (and we'll do whatever it takes to find him one!)

Jordan is so sweet and sensitive-- smart too. He already knows "sit" and "give paw"--- he sits and WAITS for his food and for his leash to be put on and for petting too. With the right collar, he is easy to walk and would be great for a runner or for a family with a large yard where he could trot around happily.

He is so loving. He follows me adoringly with his eyes wherever I go. Those big brown eyes--- windows to such a dear, gentle and special soul. He has a gorgeous brindle coat, slightly longer than a pit's-- more like a Lab's coat.

He is good with adults and children, but seems to want to chase cats. I would recommend him as an only dog. While he is fine with some dogs, he does not do well with every dog, but does well with most if introduced properly. He makes a WONDERFUL human companion. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and dewormed.

PLEASE EMAIL ME AT EMILY@INOURHANDSRESCUE.ORG ASAP.
