This is Kane. He is a pit bull-akita. I adore him so much, but my heart aches for him. He is my nephews dog, and they both live in our basement. He is left alone way too often, and is not taken out for walks near enough. I hear him crying all the time, and it kills me. We have brought him up to be with us, but he is never happy with us, he wants his master, even if he is a total moron. We live in a very small 4 plex also, and the last time I took him for a walk, I almost didn't get him home. He is so strong that he drags me along when we are walking away from the house, and walking back home, he resists going. I just can't take him neither can my mom. She almost lost a finger once when she walked him and he saw a dog and took off, the leash sliced her finger almost off, so he is too powerful for us. But he whines and howls non-stop, and my nephew does not seem to care about him at all. I honestly believe he got the dog to fight other pit bulls, because he trained him as a puppy to be aggresive. When he is with us, he is the sweetest thing, but he does go crazy when he sees other dogs. We do not have a backyard, otherwise we could just let him out when he wants to.

He is at least 7 years old, and my nephew can't keep a job to save his life, and Kane has not been to the vet in I don't know how long. We can't afford to take him ourselves, and then there is the power thing. My mother should have put her foot down when he brought Kane home, but she is spineless when it comes to my nephew. We have to buy Kane food, or he would not have any at all. My nephew is in jail, and may be in there for quite some time, and he has been in and out of jail many times. So Kane is crying non stop. I would love to find a good home for Kane with people who would love him, but I just don't know anybody who could keep him. I hope you understand this, but I have even thought about putting him down, because I can't stand to see him cooped up all the time, and so lonely, but I cannot do that ever, he is too sweet and I love him too much. I can't just call the pound either and have them take him, because I would be afraid he would not find a good home, and he would be so depressed without us. This has been going on for years, and it breaks my heart to pieces that he lives the way he does. If you guys have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
