Man Rescues A Pit Bull From Being Euthanized By Driving Nearly 3,000 Miles To Adopt Him

Man Rescues A Pit Bull From Being Euthanized By Driving Nearly 3,000 Miles To Adopt Him

Ben Bowling October 15, 2019

Pit Bulls are often judged as violent dogs.

However, what people fail to see is that these dogs only learn their behavior because of human training.

While there are isolated cases of Pit Bulls attacking humans and fellow animals, many Pitties are actually affectionate and are complete cuddle bugs. Some Pit Bulls will not even harm a bug, because that is not what they are taught.

After 2800 Miles, Mario adopted Hickory!

2800 miles. City of Industry, California to Brooklyn, New York. That's how far Mario drove to adopt Hickory from Brooklyn ACC.Mario's wife saw Hickory on the ACC At-Risk page, ACC of NYC: At-Risk Animals.

Despite being one of the sweetest dogs ever to walk on earth, high-kill shelters rarely spare Pit Bulls. The chances of Pit Bull surviving such a place are slim, and unless they are adopted, they usually end up euthanized.

One example of this is Hickory. Hickory is a Pit Bull who lived in the Animal Care Centers of NYC. He was due to be put down but was saved by a man who drove over three thousand miles just to adopt him.

When the shelter is overcrowded, volunteers often have no choice but to euthanize those who have overstayed their welcome.

Luckily, Mario Rodriguez’ wife saw Hickory’s photo while browsing the internet.

Mario Rodriguez and his family are huge Pitt Bull lovers. They have two Pit Bulls at home, but unfortunately, their third pup, named King, passed away. When Mario’s wife saw little Hickory who was a few hours away from being put down, she knew she needed to let her husband know.

Mario was delivering parcels in California when his wife contacted her. Mario’s wife sent Hickory’s photo, and it reminded Mario of his beloved King.

Mario knew that Hickory’s time was almost up. He immediately contacted the Animal Care Centers of NYC not to put the dog down. Although Mario was nearly 3,000 miles away, he notified the shelter staff that he would drive to pick up the dog.

Uncertain of whether the shelter would keep the dog alive, Mario kept on driving to save Hickory. After driving for a few days, Mario arrived at the shelter.

Fortunately, the high-kill shelter did not put Hickory down. When the shelter staff directed Mario to Hickory’s kennel, the dog kissed and cuddled his new fur-dad, and they went back home together to Mario’s home in Georgia.
