Last month, we fell in love with all the picture and videos that Sir Patrick Stewart shared of him with his foster Pitbull Ginger, but this story has a saddish ending. The actor’s wife Sunny Ozell revealed that they did not adopt their best friend. She explained on Facebook why they could not keep the sweet girl.
Patrick and I said goodbye to Ginger last week. We had fallen madly in love, and had explored every possibility of getting her to the U.K. (where we’d be able to give her the kind of life she deserves), but alas the Breed Specific Legislation in place there really made it ultimately impossible. We could not bear to take a risk with her life, knowing that she has a bright future ahead of her even if she’s not “ours”. She will forever be a light of my life, and we’ll be keeping in touch with her as much as possible. Fostering is a remarkable experience, and I would absolutely encourage anyone considering it to take the plunge. Thank you again to the beautiful @aspca and the brave @wagsandwalks for giving us such a profound opportunity. #GingerGurl #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #pibbles #NoBSL
I am sure whoever gives Ginger a furever home will love her as much as the Stewarts do. It is such a shame that the breed is banned in England. I know people see them as ferocious dogs, but everyone I know who has one says they are the sweetest most lovable pups. Some people abused a few of them and the whole breed goes down with them. We need to reevaluate how we look at Pitbulls, so that they can find furever homes all over the World.
