Reviving two threads about these two dogs in the hope that someone new has joined the Jax forum and can help. The dogs probably have until Tuesday.

Be sure to read the updates to know the current situation. There is some concern one or both of the dogs may have ringworm, but there is no confirmation on that......it's just a possible risk that a rescue should be aware of.

Here is an informative article about ringworm and how it can be passed (human-to-human, animal-to-human...):

Even if you aren't aware of any rescues who can help, reading these threads Mawipawfl linked to is eye-opening. If your heart doesn't already ache for the plight of pit bulls, it might after reading these threads.
