However, to my great surprise, I received a sweet hand written card in the mail today from Kelly Bigsby of HCAS. Kelly wrote a wonderful thank-you note and included the photo of one of the most beautiful pups I've seen -a fawn colored beauty whom I'd guess to be 6-9 months old, playing with what appears to be a red leash. Kelly - thanks so much for taking the time to make me feel special - I send my blessings to all of you at HCAS for your dedication and devotion to pitties of Hillsborough County! Much Love! Marie P.S. I'd love to know the name of the sweetie featured in the photo you sent to me :).

They sent me 2 order forms for shelters to fill out to receive damaged/seconds. I guess it depends what condition they're in. Sometimes seconds are almost perfect, sometimes they're not! But if anyone is interested, email me at kirstenreed@gmail.com, and I'll forward the order forms on.Kirsten https://www.blogger.com/profile/03014045814289948197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-34085386768894951622008-02-06T13:57:00.000-08:002008-02-06T13:57:00.000-08:00Hi there BAD RAP.

They get a lot of pit bulls there and work very hard to find them good homes - even dogs with fight scars, no ears, and so on that I know some other shelters wouldn't even put up for adoption at all.
