The first glimpse I got of our newest arrival was his little face peeking out from his crate door at the Vancouver Airport. I could hear his little tail whacking hard against the sides of the crate and when I opened the crate door, in true Pit Bull fashion, this bundle of love was on top of me saying hello with kisses. All this and we had just met! I knew right then that we had made the right call.
Forest Gump had it right when he said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get" but in the rescue world (especially) when dealing with Bullies we try to be certain that when we bite into a dog, it’s going to be the sweetest one out of the box.
Hugh Hefner IS the caramel center. He is the ooey, gooey soft and rich, best of the best Pit Bull and what box was he tossed from!? He fell from little town up north, where dogs are sometimes just as disposable as the wrapper that those chocolates come in.
Hugh is a true testimate to how resilient this breed is. Hugh had a rough start, being left alone in a backyard, with no food, shelter and no water. His owner had no reason to care for him and it was obvious to locals that this dog needed help. When Hugh arrived in the local shelter the staff where so impressed with him they knew they had to move him out and move him fast. In a small town like theirs, Pit Bulls have very few options and almost never find their happy ending. Hugh with his BIG TIME personality was destined for the Big City and he was flown down first class to be greeted and spoiled with all the love and respect he so deserves.
Hugh is THRIVING in his foster home. He is greeting new people and places with that same big time enthusiasm and “SAY HELLO TO ME” personality that the shelter first saw when he came to them. His foster mom reports that he is one smart cookie and is happiest when snuggling in her arms. With a few weeks left to go in his holding period we know that this boy will be charming the pants of everyone he sees.
