We have been blogging about that Pit Bull that was found in Conroe earlier this month, wandering around after some mean hearted person shot him through with an arrow. Good Samaritans took him in and vets took the arrow out. Being a Pit Bull, however, meant he would likely not be taken in by many humane groups. But - Leah Purcell and Spindletop Rescue came to the rescue! Here's a picture of the newly renamed Cupid (nice name, huh?) at Spindletop Refuge with Pit Bull rescuer Leah Purcell, just minutes after he arrived on December 16th, still in bandages:
Here's the arrow vets took out of him: he had part of it sticking out of both sides of his abdomen. It's a Gold Tip 3555 Graphite Arrow. Still no word on whether invetigators have found the culprit.
Read on for the rest of the story from animal friend Zandra Anderson... The Montgomery County Humane Society got him and treated him after he was found earlier this month. They also fell in love with him. After all he had been through, they wanted to save him, but are not allowed to adopt out pit bulls. Spindletop Refuge was contacted by Tess Keel, the MC Humane Society's Operations Manager and I got to go get him Saturday! I have been hoping we'd get this call because this is what I wanted for Christmas. Thanks Tess and the MC Humane Society! 4 CommentsLeave a comment |
Is Cupid available for adoption?

Have you found a home for the poor baby if not I would like to offer him a great home with me and my husband. We had one about a year and half ago that was a brindle like him and when we moved into the apartment we just move out of I had to have him put to sleep. I cryed for weeks. I am looking for a brindle colored one to adopt. I would like a male over a female. If you or anyone could help me please let me know. I love the breed and want a life long companion besides my husband. Even though I love my husband I can not play fetch with him or take him for walks like with my long lost Fang. PLEASE HELP ME FIND ONE PLEASE.
