Sweet Pea was used as a bait dog for dog fighting and was discovered by animal control on a garbage dump in Camden NJ - the most violent city in America - on April 13, 2015. She taken to a local impound facility where she sat for five days until NJ Aid for Animals found her.
Sweet Pea had no skin left to stitch on her open wounds rather she had to heal from the inside out. She had to have her bandages changed every day to prevent infection. Huge gobs of a medicated paste had to be applied all over her wounds.
Follow her progress as she went through eight weeks of grueling bandage changes and pain and through it all she never growled or snapped.
Now Sweet Pea is all better but lost her entire ear. There is just a little hole where her ear used to be. She is still suffering from scars all over her legs and her head and the scars from being used as a bait dog will always be with her.
Sweet Pea needs a home (with no cats) that will give her the love and attention she deserves.
She loves everyone including strangers and kids. Because of her little challenge with a slight hard of hearing she will be best with kids over 12.
She doesn’t dig or chew
She loves to jog, play and SWIM.
Won’t you take her into your home and show her that all humans are not monsters?
