Hugging Dog Seeks Home in Los Angeles

(LOS ANGELES) — With over 500,000 views, Logan has won the hearts of every person who’s seen his videos across the platforms. Logan is a pit bull who was rescued from dogfighting in Mexico and brought to Los Angeles in August to find a home. Though he’s endured a lot his first eight years of life, he has left a mark on everyone who has watched the videos of him hugging every person he meets.

The Animal Rescue Mission rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes animals mostly from Mexico and Los Angeles. It recently opened a shelter in Tijuana to house rescues temporarily before finding them a more suitable home.

When Logan came to the shelter, he was covered in bruises and was incredibly weak, according to Shira Scott Astrof, founder and president of the Animal Rescue Mission. As Logan was healing, they discovered he had TVT cancer [transmissible venereal tumor]. This meant that he had to stay in the Mexico shelter until he completed his chemotherapy.

 “He is so sweet, he can’t contain his love. He does this thing where he just has to hug everyone he meets,” Astrof said. “People often have a misconception that pit bulls are aggressive, but Logan is the perfect example that that’s not necessarily true at all.”

If anyone is interested in adopting Logan, you can contact the Animal Rescue Mission directly through their website. According to Astrof, he is good with everyone, from children to other dogs, and is ready to find a permanent home.
