Sweet Pea is now 11 years old. I first saw Sweet Pea through a posting on Facebook on February 2024. She was diagnosed with depression, she was used for breeding and when no longer good she was dump, emaciated, skin and bones, full of heartworms, fleas, ticks and masses all over her belly and mamary glands. I saw a very sad sad face and contacted the lady from the posting. Next day, she advised me that Sweet Pea was already in the euthanisia room and needed to tag her now! I tagged her to foster her, but then there was silence, those were the most emotional and worrysome 20 minutes of my life! I didn’t know if she was rescued on time or she was already put to sleep, when suddently I get an email saying that the admn lady got to the dark room within 30 seconds from her being put to sleep! She went through a severe surgery to remove the bumps in her already fragile body, then we did the slow kill method for the heartworms since she has gone through a lot.
With a lot of love and care Sweet Pea did a complete turn around! My dad got to meet her and fell in love with her, 4 months later he passed away. Everyone that meets her end up loving pitbulls. She is a great pitbull ambassador! After that happened my husband and I decided to adopt her and she reminds me daily of how beautiful life is when there is responsibility, love and care around us. Because of this reason I strongly believe that this 11 year old baby deserves to be crowned SNIPSA’s Face of the Race!!
