Meet Sweetheart, the lovable six-year-old Pit Bull who was found abandoned outside an NYC police station. Now, she’s patiently waiting at the Manhattan Animal Care Center for the right person to take her home. A TikTok video of Sweetheart has captured the hearts of viewers, showcasing her gentle demeanor and big, pleading eyes. Despite not being food-motivated, Sweetheart is well-behaved, leash-trained, and loyal to the core. She may need some time to adjust after her time in the shelter, but with a little love and praise, she’s sure to thrive.
Unfortunately, stories like Sweetheart’s are all too common, with Pit Bulls and other breeds waiting longer in shelters due to negative stereotypes and misconceptions. Larger dogs also tend to wait longer as not everyone has the space to care for them. Middle-aged and senior dogs like Sweetheart often wait longer as well, as people tend to prefer younger dogs. However, at just six years old, Sweetheart has plenty of love to give to her future family.
This heartwarming tale serves as a reminder to consider adopting a shelter pet like Sweetheart, who just needs a chance to show her true potential.
