Jax was only five months old when he was found lying motionless on someone’s front porch. The young pit bull had multiple injuries and old scars on his body, and it seemed then that he was dead. But when he moved his tail slightly, the homeowner realized there was still hope for the pup.
The kind person took the puppy in and quickly asked for help online. He posted pictures of the dog on a Facebook group he was in. The post quickly became viral, and soon after, a rescue organization responded.
Recovery
Rescuers rushed to the Topeka residence, where Jax was found. He was then brought to a clinic for emergency treatment. The vets were stunned when they received the young pit bull.
His face was swollen, and his neck and limbs all had life-threatening bite injuries. They suspect he was used as a bait dog in illegal dog fighting. His owners probably abandoned him when they thought he was going to die.
Jax spent all his time in intensive care for the next two weeks and recovered beautifully. He was then placed in foster care after being released from the clinic.
New life
Despite his painful and violent past, Jax became a loving and affectionate dog. While recovering, he would frequently find relief in the arms of humans. In his foster home, the little pup opened up even more. He never showed any signs of aggression or violence against others.
His foster family said that as soon as Jax could move around, he would often play with their other pets. He became a very happy puppy and forgot all about his horrifying past. Just a couple of months after he was found severely injured, the young pit bull was ready to become a part of a family.
The rescue group is working hard to find him a forever home. Hopefully, he gets to live the life he deserves.
