Pit Bull Puppy Found in Garbage Can

This unnamed female pit bull-terrier mix was happy to be out of her cage for a few minutes while taking her photo. She certainly did not deserve to be put in a garbage can, the act of her former owners. She is young and friendly and will no doubt make someone a wonderful friend.

(In case you saw this photo on Douglasville Patch on Monday, I incorrectly labeled her as a Corgi-beagle mix. My apologies.)
