When Claire was first brought to me, she could not walk more than 10-15 feet at a time. She would just stop and lay down. She just couldn\u2019t move.\u00a0 It was from a combination of who knows what\u2026her leg was injured and she could not stand on it, she was skin and bones, she was dehydrated, mange and flea infested.\u00a0 It appeared from her injuries that she may have also been hit by a car. She was very sick and very injured. But the worst injury she was the telltale signs of being a bait dog. It is unspeakable what people will do to dogs.<\/p>\n

Bait dogs often have ropes tied to their legs to pull them out of the fighting ring. Bait dogs are usually not aggressive dogs by nature; they are\u00a0used to train and test the prized aggressive fighting dogs<\/a>. Her leg was heavily scarred from a bait rope and she could not stand on her leg.<\/p>\n

Her leg was so bad, I was convinced she was going to end up a three legged dog. She really didn\u2019t want to walk. She was very weak and in a lot of pain. Off we went to the vet for a proper professional opinion.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

At first, it was hard to say. But while she was knocked out for her spay,\u00a0 her knee and leg were diagnosed and it was decided that time would heal her leg, knee, and hips.\u00a0 Her prognosis was good. Within a month she was a completely different dog; energetic, active, a total love.\u00a0 A few months in and she showed no signs of injury.<\/p>\n

Claire had a very rough start to her life. She has recovered well from her past experience. She will continue to need, and deserves, an owner who will be conscious of her past and willing to use positive reinforcement training methods.\u00a0 Time and patience has healed her leg and it has also opened her heart to people.<\/p>\n

\"claireCar\"<\/p>\n

She has learned to trust, to play with the other dogs, to play with toys, to ride in a car, to go on walks, how to be crate trained, potty trained, all that good dog 101 stuff.<\/p>\n

\"United<\/a><\/p>\n

She responds very well to love and praise.\u00a0 She loves just being with people. She loves to hang out, to play, and to just be together. She is still young and can get in a little lab mix puppy trouble if she doesn\u2019t get enough \u201cme time\u201d, but she learns fast and is very willing to please. She is great fun loving dog looking for a good forever home.<\/p>\n

\"Claire<\/a><\/p>\n

Claire was picked up\u00a0in Oak Cliff\u00a0behind the Belmont hotel in a field across from the Clairevista gym. She is proof that dog fighting happens\u00a0in all kinds of\u00a0neighborhoods. Even nieghborhoods on the NY times hot places\u00a0list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dog fighting is a felony. It is against the law to even attend a dog fight. If you suspect any illegal activity link to dog fighting, please be the voice of these dogs and\u00a0make a report to the city<\/a> and to the SPCA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Claire’s rescue also shows us that good caring people are everywhere in our neighborhood; and that with\u00a0love and trust, everything and everyone thives. Please help Claire find her forever home and score one for the good guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
