Pit Bull Found Chained In A Basement In St Louis Wants Nothing But Love

Buying a house can come with lots of surprises, but none quite like that which awaited a new homeowner in St. Louis, Missouri.

When the new owner began to look through the building that he had just purchased, he was stunned when he discovered a dog chained in the basement.

He called the Stray Rescue of St Louis, and thankfully the dog is now being cared for. They called her Jumping Bean since all she wanted was to jump onto her rescuers, giving them licks and snuggles in her gratitude. 

As reported by The Dodo, the man was initially unsure what to do with the dog. On calling Stray Rescue he explained that he just found a pit bull chained up in the basement of his new home and that he was unsure how long she’d been left alone down there.

As soon as the organization got the call, they were ready to head toward the home with crates, treats, and leashes at the ready. They didn’t know what was likely to wait for them in the basement of the home or what condition the dog would be in.

When they opened the basement door, the volunteers were thrilled to see that the dog was still in decent condition and, judging by her body language, was thrilled to see people. She wagged her tail violently and tried to rush toward them, almost choking herself on the chain that held her back.

While the rescue workers might have been afraid that she would be violent, she was anything but! She didn’t even bark as they worked to rescue her and, once she was free from the chain, only attacked the volunteers with a round of doggy kisses and hugs.

The dog has since been named “Jumping Bean” since she is so full of life and likes to jump up on people for attention.

Despite all that she has gone through and the sorrow of being abandoned, this dog isn’t going to let it get her down. She is now receiving the attention and love that she deserves, and we’re sure that she will find an excellent family with time.
