Adopted and Returned 3 Times — The Heartbreaking Journey of a Pitbull Who Just Wants to Be Loved

Patches, a young female Pit Bull Terrier, has endured a series of heartbreaking circumstances that no dog should have to face. Initially found abandoned in an RV in California, she was living in appalling conditions alongside several other dogs when animal control intervened and rescued her. (Watch video below)

After being taken in, Patches was adopted, but her happiness was short-lived. She was returned when her adopter discovered they had a dog allergy. Unfortunately, her story did not improve from there. Patches was adopted two more times, only to be returned on both occasions. The reasons given for these returns were an apartment deemed too small for her and a lack of time to properly care for her.

Despite these setbacks, Patches remains a “chill and amazing” dog, according to those who have cared for her. Volunteers and advocates are hopeful that by sharing her story, they can find the right adopter who will offer Patches the stable and loving home she so deserves.
