A No Show
The dog was in better hands as the rescue team was taking good care of her. The animal control did all that was necessary for Lilo to regain health. After a while, her owners gave a phone call to the rescue center and claimed that they wished to collect the dog. But the owners proved their unreliability yet again after failing to show up to collect their own dog.
Euthanasia?
So what was left for the poor dog now? Since the Guilford County is not capable of adopting pit bulls, they were running out of options. The rescuers were faced with a difficult task of doing what’s good for Lilo. They could not keep and they were certainly not going to return her to her disloyal owners. It had come to a point where euthanasia for the dog was discussed.
Helping Hands
While they were in the midst of figuring out what to do next with Lilo, the Merit Pit Bull Foundation stepped in. This was such a blessing to the rescuers as they were running out of options. This was not a meager organization but a rather well-experienced on the rescues of bull breeds from across North Carolina. They help these ill-fated dogs to have a start over in life.
The Process
But this was not always an easy shot. The Merit Pit Bull Foundation would help in finding these dogs that they have taken in to find loving pet owners that would not repeat the bad state these animals were found in. After rescuing and giving them medical care, these animals are sent to foster homes before to finding a home that would keep them forever.
Getting Her Name
The Merit Pit Bull Foundation stepped and took charge of creating a healthier environment for Lilo. For her rehabilitation, the rescued pit bull was sent to live with Keana Lynch and Travis Henley. So Lilo had found new foster parents who quickly decided on the name ‘Lilo’. These two seem to really care for her and have been doing all they can to help the adorable pup.
Adapting Well?
So how did Lilo react to this new place of hers? Since she had never been inside the comfort of a loving house and given ample attention, was she going to be able to adapt? Well, it was a relatively better and safer place for her to stay in, so obviously, Lilo was settling into her new home just fine. Lilo seemed to get comfortable real quick in her new temporary home.
