Help the Pitbulls

My girlfriend and I adopted two Pitbull puppies, one three years ago and then another two years ago. Both of them were rescued from the Harlem, NYC Animal Control Center. Our first "baby", as my girlfriend would call them, is Argos. He is a 3 1/2 year old Pitbull with the nicest personality and he really is a big mush. He weighs 75 pounds, but its all mush and he is so good that we couldn't have been happier with him. Our second "baby" is a bit more of a handful then Argos. Her name is Xabina and she is this little, 45 pound, black, runt of the litter, mutt. She looks like a Pitbull, mixed with a black Labrador, mixed with the Devil. I say the Devil, because she is the naughtiest puppy alive and what makes it worse is that she is the cutest one ever. Her picture is my profile picture, so you can see what I mean. The reason I am talking about our dogs is because there is an abundant amount of stray dogs in America that need homes. These abandoned and stray dogs are just looking for love and care from people that will give it to them unconditionally. These dogs are so grateful for the attention and for the chance to live normally. They need our help to be rescued from the situations that other horrible humans have put them in. Some are malnurished, some are abused physically, some are left for dead after being made to fight other dogs and some are just presents that were discarded after they were unwanted. If you want to help and give an animal a chance, please visit your local animal shelter or ASPCA, and adopt a pet. Thanks.
