Every dog deserves to have an owner who will hold them close and shower them with endless love. Dogs thrive on affection, and only through love can they find true joy and happiness in their lives.
Unfortunately, not all dogs experience this kind of love. Some are neglected and abused by their owners, who fail to see the adorable, loving creatures that only want affection and care.
Morty’s Heartbreaking Start
Morty, a gentle Pit Bull, knows all too well the pain of being mistreated and unloved. Despite his longing to snuggle with his family in their warm home in North Carolina, he was chained outside and left to fend for himself.
As Morty crouched in his kennel, feeling sad and disappointed, he had no idea that his life was about to change. Little did he know that he would soon find the love he had always dreamed of.

A New Family for Morty
Around the same time, Andrea and her husband were looking to welcome a dog into their family. “We wanted a Pit Bull because we had heard that they were loving and loyal, and we didn’t believe the stigma,” Andrea told GeoBeats Animals.
The couple visited the Virginia shelter, and the moment they saw Morty, they felt an instant connection. His soulful brown eyes melted their hearts, and they knew he was the pup they had been searching for.
Seeing the scar on the left side of his neck and learning about his past abuse broke their hearts even more. They were determined to give Morty the loving home he deserved.

One of the first things people notice about Morty is his big, floppy ears, which his mom believes are his best feature. Despite his past, Morty has a loving and friendly disposition.
Discovering Morty’s Dislikes

The loving pup is incredibly in tune with his parents’ emotions and comforts them when they are feeling down. Andrea shared an emotional moment when Morty sensed her sadness and got right up in her face, offering comfort.
“There are times I get down about the discrimination we face with his breed, and one time it just hit me hard. I was sobbing, and he got right up in my face. It’s like he just knew I was really upset, and that made it all better,” Andrea said.
Andrea is grateful that Morty trusted them despite being betrayed by his previous owners. “He doesn’t know us, but he trusts us, and he’s shown us nothing but love. I’m so grateful that he felt comfortable enough to give us a chance,” she added.
