    Losing a dog fight saved Longshot's life!

    Like the action hero he was named after, Longshot's incredible luck allowed him to escape a very, very difficult situation. What started as a misfortune for this poor boy, actually turned out to be his salvation.

    Longshot owes his life to the quick action of a nice couple in Kansas City who witnessed him being a victim of a terrible act of cruelty.

    Longshot, who is obviously a lover, not a fighter, had just lost his first dog fight and was about to be killed by his tormentor since he wasn't any good to him.

     

    Good Sit | Kissable Face | Cute Grin

    The couple who happened to drive by as this ordeal was taking place, stepped in to save Longshot's life and this happy boy is now safe in our program.

    Good looking boy | Please give me a chance | So sweet

    Foster Situation: Longshot is currently in boarding and patiently waiting for his forever home. His wounds are completely healed, both on the inside and the out. Longshot is learning how to go for walks and loves to sit and cuddle with any of the volunteers that come to see him. Longshot enjoys car rides and the good life in general. You can tell he is so happy to be fed, loved and taken care of. He really doesn't require much to be happy!

    11/1/2008 UPDATE: Longshot now has a foster home! Thank you Melanie! We'll update Longshot's foster info after Longshot has had some time to settle in.

    Standing | Too cute | What a hunk! | What a goof!

    Longshot has made a few girlfriends since his arrival in boarding. Velocity, Dragonfly and Bluebell to name a few.... He is quite the ladies man, both with humans and doggy girls as well. Needless to say, he loves the attention.

    Handsome Longshot | Sitting in grass | Can we play now? | Is that a ball over there?

    Training: Longshot is currently learning basic commands; This poor guy was never given the opportunity to show off how smart he is by receiving training. He is doing very well now and so proud to show off his skills.

    Such a good boy! | Pausing | Too Cute | Waiting for you

    Personality: Don't be fooled by the pictures; Longshot took the photo session very seriously and wanted to show off what a hunk he is. In realty however, this dog is just a happy-go-lucky and easy-going dude... Quite the goofball in fact.... Even in a boarding situation that can easily break many dogs spirits, he keeps his high. Anytime a volunteer comes near his run, he starts wiggling his butt and gives this sweet look as if he is saying "Is it my turn for love?". He really does get so happy over the smallest things. He is never hyper or overly excited though. He's one of our best "greeting dogs" at events because he is so welcoming, friendly and well behaved.This boy really has a great Pit Bull temperament and personality. He would definitely give his all to anyone to show him love. It is clear that he is a lover not a fighter.

    Cute Boy | "How you doin'?"

    Best Attribute: Longshot's best attribute would have to be his love for life, positive spirit and his constant happy face. It is as if he is smiling all the time and is just so happy to be alive.

    Will you love me?
