When Jon Mancinetti lost his beloved pet from cancer, he found his calling. Russell, the pit bull, had been a major part of Jon’s life after being rescued from dog fighting, so Jon turned his grief to fostering other pit bulls from shelters and finding them new homes. People are often hesitant to adopt pit bulls, as they are perceived as aggressive dogs. Jon even adopted Smokey, one of the pit bulls himself after an attempt at adoption failed. You too can support dogs by visiting a shelter today.
Key Takeaways:
- People can take the loss of a pet as badly as the loss of a loved human.
- Jon was inspired to help other dogs after his dog died of cancer.
- Many pit bulls are left in shelters because of their stereotype of aggressive behavior.
