We came home with 12 year old (best they could guess) Alias, a pitbull mix. He was badly malnourished, but very active and playful. He accepted our two dogs immediately upon arrival at home.
He never chases the barn cats, the chickens, or bothers the house cats.
A Year Later
He's gained weight and his bones don't stick out anymore. He's still learning to not eat the trash, but he's happy, healthy and loved. And he's an excellent "watch dog."

It makes no sense to me that a place would continue to take in animals they have no space for, killing the healthy ones they've had the longest for no more reason than to make room for new "stock." If you or I did that, we'd go to jail, and rightly so.
No organization that kills healthy animals is "humane" or is a "shelter." Those animals would be safer living as strays on the streets than finding themselves in one of those places.
Praying for all animals in need and for those who humanely do shelter them and for those who take them into their homes and hearts.
God bless.

Glad he fitted in so well with the other animals
Happy Birthday Alias.
