Don't ever take your dog to Pet Sitters Plus! I rescued a beautiful, emaciated Pit Bull in Nov 09, which I named Beauty, and she was taken to West Alabama Animal Clinic for care and treatment. In March 2010, the vet clinic sent pawned her off on Lissa of Pet Sitters Plus, for work on her "supposed" aggression issues.
I saw Beauty the week before she went to Pet Sitters Plus and she was at a healthy weight, had no open sores and looked beautiful! After a month at Pet Sitters Plus, she was taken back to the vet clinic for a bath and so I could visit, as I had been told I could NOT visit her at Pet Sitters Plus (even though I had been driving an hour each way every two to three weeks to visit her at the vet clinic.) The night before she was taken back to the clinic, Lissa called the clinic to tell them Beauty had a cold. It turns out Beauty had pneumonia!! When I got to the clinic to visit her, she was so sick she couldn't even get up off the blanket she was laying on, to greet me! And, now only did she have scabs on her knees and elbows, which comes from laying on cement all the time, she had two wounds on her hip that were healed, but were still red with no hair. This tells me they happened not long after she arrived at Pet Sitters Plus!
That was the last time I ever saw Beauty alive. The vet clinic put her in ICU and told me I couldn't visit while she was there. Two days later we got a call saying she had cornered the vet in her kennel (not bit, just corner) and we had to get her out of there THAT day, or they were putting her down. Unfortunately there was no where else for her to go, as none of the local rescues had room for her. Needless to say, I have her ashes here with me. read more
