It's a Pittie Rescue

This is Royal, many of you don’t know her. She was said to be questionable with people and of course other animals, but she just needed a little help to understand. She has been going through a training program with our new trainer. Royal’s foster parents took Royal on with her newborn babies from Gary AC. Royal was sad, out of control, reactive.

But, It’s A Pittie did not give up. We found a trainer — very reasonable in pricing, easy to work with and loves rescues — to go to people’s homes and work with our tougher cases that Debbie and Karen just do not have time for. Royal’s foster parents were so excited and grateful that we decided to do this for Royal, and you can see how it paid off. We want to really thank Royal’s foster parents for sticking it out to stay committed to Royal even though they have their own dogs and a couple foster puppies that just could not be resisted.

Please everyone, continue to share the training chipin. Royal is actually the very last dog pictured on the bottom, and why we decided to start this chipin. Her babies were adoptable, but she was not. Now she is looking for foster to continue her training, or better yet, a forever home. Please share the chipin so we can continue to help the special cases!
