Patch Pet: Meet the 'V Pits'

This family of dogs were found living in freezing, terrible conditions.

Meet an amazing family of dogs! This is Vayda, Virgil, Vienna and Vinny. Our Humane Officers met them last winter when they followed a tip that this beautiful group of dogs had been abandoned in a home. The "V Pits," as they came to be known, were found living in freezing, terrible conditions. Our officers brought them back to Animal Friends. 

Never having been treated like members of a family before, the V Pits had a long journey ahead of them. So, our staff and volunteers got to work, socializing them and showing them what it means to be loved!

They are still shy at first, but once they learn to trust someone, they are playful, sweet and loyal dogs. They love the company of other dogs and love to romp and exercise. They're looking for an understanding person who can help them blossom!
