Michael Vick Pit Bulls Available for Adoption

Some good news out of all of this mess..
-------------
Of the 49 dogs found on property belonging to Michael Vick, only one needs to be put down. The remaining 48 dogs are suitable for adoption.

That was the finding by a team of dog behavioral experts assembled by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to test the dogs. According to a motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court, the dogs fall into five categories that include eventual adoption and specialized training for law enforcement work. Some of the dogs either exhibited fear toward people or suffered from a medical condition.

The one dog that needs to be put down couldn't even be examined because the examiners couldn't get close enough. The motion also requests that the court appoint a guardian to oversee the disposition and possible placement of the 48 remaining dogs.

So, if you would like one of the 48 remaining dogs, write a letter to US District Judge Henry Hudson, the ASPCA, or the US Attorney all in Richmond, VA.
