Mama Jade is getting a second chance. (Pitt bull that was used as bait)

http://www.buzzfeed.com/chelseamarshall/why-one-woman-refused-to-give-back-a-lost-dog

snip

“Our staff has grown to love this beautiful and broken soul. Skin and bones, we feed her constantly but only foods that are soft enough for her… You know, since you ripped her teeth out and all. Mama lets you get right up in her face. In fact, she LOVES it. She’ll give you slobbery kisses and nuzzle your face with love.” After all, as she so eloquently puts, “Loyalty is in their blood. Not Violence.”
Sadly, they found out that Mama had breast cancer and she would have to be put down, since there were no funds for her treatment.

Willis prepared herself for the inevitable, finding solace in the comfort she could bring a friend broken down from years of abuse: “And when she closes her eyes and takes her last breath, I’ll be there. I’ll hold her big ol head and I’ll tell her how much I love her.”
However, something amazing happened: her post went viral and thousands of people offered to donate to Mama’s care.

But she is getting another shot at life.

I'll be saying that for the rest of my life having been there first hand!

I don't care if it is a pit bull or what!

Harming any animal is horrific to me and why people do things like this to an innocent animal is beyond my comprehension and hopefully, always will be beyond my comprehension!

I hope this dog gets everything it deserves in life, like a loving/caring home to start!

It seems as if she is getting another chance being she is going to get the surgery she needs!

I hope they can get rid of her cancer so she can know love & happiness for much longer than a few days or weeks. Poor girl.

I have been thinking about this dog since I read the post. I was so sad when I first read about her and have had my mind constantly drawn back to her.

At least the rest of her life will be so much better and longer then first thought. Awesome.

If each one of those people donated $1, she could get treatment.

While I can come to DU and read posts from people about how evil this breed is and how extermination would suit them well, I read this. Thank you, internet and the donors you summoned.

Nice work, rescuers.

I can only hope that some day, some time, the shitwits who, but for the lack of a condom, came to be in this world that did this to this dog are found, exposed and convicted.
