On the latest episode of Take Me Home, Susan Daffron talks to Brenda Pina from the Sanctuary Animal Refuge in Florida about a dog named Flo. The sanctuary rescued this sweet pit bull mix from an open admission shelter in Georgia where she was in danger of being euthanized because she had a problem with her back leg.

A woman had wrapped duct tape around Flo's leg, cutting off the circulation and causing an infection. When the woman realized there was a medical problem, she dumped Flo at animal control. A kind person named Patsy pulled Flo from the shelter and took her to the vet. Flo's leg couldn't be saved, so it was amputated.

Then Flo was able to come to the Sanctuary Animal Refuge to find her new home. Although she only has three legs now, Flo has no trouble walking or running. She's a sweetheart and everybody loves her happy, sunny disposition. Flo "smiles" all the time and enjoys being around both small and large dogs. She likes to lay her head on your lap, so you can pet and cuddle her. Flo is one of those dogs who has had a terribly rough beginning, yet still remains a kind, loving dog. She deserves a second chance at a new home where she can receive the love she deserves.
