Alcovea's Story

About 5 months ago in May of 2009, my husband and I adopted Alcovea. My husband started to get an aching for a new dog. Neither he or I had ever owned one growing up and were interested in a new experience. So we took a trip to the Humane society and really found nothing we were totally interested in until my husband spotted Alcovea, a 1 yr. 3 month old beautiful brindle colored pit bull. She was highly malnourished and terribly timid. her foster parent, Mary explained to us her terrible past of abuse and neglect. But with many visits to the Humane society, She quickly warmed up to my husband and I, and soon her tail was happily curled up and wagging once again. I was a bit apprehensive at first when my husband mentioned an interest in pit bulls since I had of course heard all the stories about them and how rough they can get. Let me tell you, I was HIGHLY mistaken! She is a gorgeous dog with a heart of gold. She snuggles with me every single night and is very protective over my husband and especially me. we just love to listen to the sound of her snoring at night. We love to chase her around the house and give her raspberries on her soft tummy. I would suggest to anyone seeking a new dog to not overlook pit bulls. The more people own them and start to treat them right, the better we can clear the negative image that they have wrongly received. We are so grateful we have found her and appreciate the care she was given by the employees there. Thank you so much!
