Lenox

Lenox is our 7 yr old male pit bull from Atlanta, GA

I do pit bull rescue. A guy named David called me to adopt a puppy he saw on my webpage. The puppy he was interested in had severe orthopedic problems and her foster family had decided to keep her. He went to another local rescue to check out their dogs and saw an adult male pit bull that he really liked. He was told that he would have to adopt that dog with another adult female pit bull that was sharing the same run with him. David did not want two dogs, so he called me back and told me what had happened. I was delighted that he was considering an adult dog. I told him about Lenox, a dog that my friend Jennifer was fostering. I sent pictures of the dog to David and set up a homecheck.
Jennifer and I went to do the homecheck together. It was the longest homecheck I've ever done, as we were there for four hours! David was very nice, not to mention good-looking! We decided to let David adopt Lenox. David and I really hit it off and he asked me out to dinner. The rest is history. We are now married and live in downtown Atlanta with our three pit bulls, Lady Red, Boss, Lenox and our two foster dogs, Rosie & Gracie. David has become a true pit bull advocate and regularly works to educate people about them. I couldn't have found a better man to spend the rest of my life with!
