Another rescued Michael Vick dog is adopted

Best Friends Animal Society is a sanctuary in Utah that takes in needy pets most of which are deemed not-adoptable.  They're a grassroots effort with the goal of placing dogs and cats who were considered "unadoptable" into good homes, and they want to reduce the number of unwanted pets through effective spay and neuter programs but they also have other animals such as horses, rabbits and birds to name just a fewBest Friends Animal Society is guided by a simple philosophy: kindness to animals builds a better world for all of us. Best Friends got involved and applied to obtain several of the Michael Vick pit bulls to save them from being put down.  I don't remember how many they got but the first one has now been adopted into her forever home.  (Other of Vick's pit bulls that went to other rescue groups have been adopted, this is the first from Best Friends to be adopted.)  Click the link to read more about Halle and see her picture (she's the black pit) at Best Friends Animal Society website.
