Pitbull tied up outside Met Food on Vandy

lauren13

There is a sweet as can be female pitbull tied up outside Met Food for the past 3 hours. She has no tags or id, so I'm assuming that the chances are good that she is abandoned. I went in to every store on the block and no one claimed ownership. I'm unable to keep her, so I was wondering if anyone knew of local rescue groups (Sean Casey is unable to pick her up) and I don't want to contact ACC since they'll probably just put her down.

Lost Dog Prospect Park
This afternoon, our friend who is a neighborhood dog walker had one of his charges slip her collar in reaction to something that startled her. She is an ADOLESCENT BRINDLE (BROWN/BLACK STRIPED) PIT BULL NAMED MAGGIE. She is shy but very sweet – not mean or aggressive.

This occurred about 2:30PM near the Lincoln Road side of the park, but she was spotted by a park patron near the Bandshell about a half hour later, and Josephine Pittari thought she might have spotted her near the ballfields a little later after that. Our worry is that she’s a pit without tags and someone will think she’s abandoned.

same pup perhaps?

Darn, saw it at 2:30p in front of the Met on Vandy, then read this thread and went back to take a pic to post onlne to help find the owner...but a person had just come and led the dog away (according to 2 guys in a truck parked there).

Was that one of you folks here?

Hope so.

Oh, wow it wasn't me either. I was just literally going to get her and bring her back to my apartment after getting in touch with some great people at a pitbull rescue.
I hope all is ok with her.

Stray pits are used often as bait in dog fighting and there are occurrences of that in the general area form past news reports. Hopefully a good person took the dog.

Officials have now identified the pit bull as Sarah Palin filming her new reality show. She was able to be identified due to the writing on her paws.

Really? I thought it was Ann Coulter going incognita.

The OP said it was a female pit bull.
