Chico, a pit bull, spent the first ten years of his life chained and alone. He was adopted by a family in rural North Carolina, but they provided him with a small yard covered in trash and no interaction or care.
As per The Dodo, a dog named Chico was leading a miserable life which came to the notice of his neighbor Gricel Guerrero. She tried to communicate with his family about their neglect towards him. Gricel suggested that Chico required medical attention and regular walks, but the family avoided her advice. They stated that Chico was troublesome and aggressive towards other dogs, hence needed to be chained. Witnessing Chico’s abandonment day after day broke Gricel’s heart. She decided that it was high time something was done to help Chico.
Guerrero found himself in a tough spot when he discovered a pit bull named Chico stuck in a miserable condition. He immediately started calling up rescues for help, but most of them were either too far away or unwilling to lend a hand. Thankfully, Diva’s Safe Haven Thrift stepped up to take in the pup. However, Guerrero still had to convince Chico’s current owners to release him. After some convincing, they finally agreed to give up the pit bull, and the rescue retrieved him on the same day.
Thanks to Guerrero’s unwavering determination, Chico is now receiving the necessary medical care he desperately requires. Upon his arrival, it was discovered that the poor pup is mostly deaf and has been diagnosed with multiple tumors and arthritis in his back legs. However, he will be spending much of his time at Diva’s, happily greeting new furry friends and playing with the caring staff.
The dog, Chico, has embraced the change with enthusiasm. The team at Diva’s is delighted with Chico’s arrival and they attest to his amicable nature, despite being neglected for ten years.
