"We react to dog fights all year," says Jenny Jackson, one of the Michigan Humane Society Officers.

"The street combatants are youngsters, you know," she adds. "They're taking pit bulls and tying them up in abandoned yards and battling them in parks, and they're just young kids fighting dogs – whatever dogs they can get." And they are unlikely to receive adequate medical care, as well as adequate food, drink, and shelter. A lot of the time, they'll just be forgotten."

Fortunately for these two pit bulls, The Michigan Humane Society and WA2S were on there to help. However, there are thousands of other canines who need to be rescued.
