Wally, the ugly pit bull, waited for over a year to be adopted at a shelter after he was rescued as a stray. He had to deal with the stigma of being a pit bull, AND now he had to hurdle the trouble of being ‘ugly?’ Poor guy. But his jagged little grin was able to win over one person’s heart.
The poor pit bull had a severe skin infection when he first arrived, but the workers at the Islip Animal Shelter immediately fell in love with Wally’s affectionate personality. Unfortunately, they weren’t in the position to adopt him. Even though he had clearly struggled in his 10 years of life, all he wanted to do was love on people.
