“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.

But she is getting another shot at life.
