Pitbull With A Scary Appearance Wears A Propeller Hat, Which Increases Her Chances Of Getting Adopted
Bonnie the pit bull had a face that made strangers hesitate, even though she was one of the sweetest dogs around. After Grandma Betty's Animal Rescue saved her from a local shelter just minutes before she was scheduled to be put down, foster volunteer Lili Follett quickly became attached to her and started looking for a permanent home.
The problem was not Bonnie's personality, it was how people reacted to her appearance. Follett noticed the stares, the sidesteps, and the uneasy looks, so she tried something unexpected to help people see past the stereotype.
That small change turned Bonnie into a viral adoption success story.
