Jami Lassell received a call from her sister-in-law on October 8th with some sad news.
They came upon a dog confined in the attic while clearing out a house in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, and didn’t know what to do.
“I told her, ‘I’ll be there in 10 minutes and take her up.’ ‘We’re just warning you, she’s completely skin and bones,’ they say. “I’m not sure when she was last fed anything,” Lassell told The Dodo.
It was impossible to tell just how long the young pit bull named Remi had been trapped in the attic. She’d chewed through the walls and door in an attempt to free herself — and the room was littered with feces and fleas.
When Lassell finally met the abandoned dog, she was shocked by the warm greeting she received. “She is the most loving dog I’ve ever met,” Lassell said. “As soon as she saw me, her tail started going — she just wanted love.”
Lassell intended to foster Remi until she was healthy enough to be adopted, but that plan altered the instant Remi stepped into his home.
“When she arrived home with me, I thought to myself, ‘I can’t give her up,'” Lassell recalled.
Lassell took Remi to the doctor after numerous flea washes and a few decent meals, when she found that one of the dog’s legs was damaged and would require surgery. Despite the agony Remi has undergone, she is full of love for all living creatures she encounters.
Lassell described her as a “lovebug.” “Her tail wags and her ears perk up whenever she meets someone.”
Remi also has endless patience when it comes to Lassell’s four young children. “She’s even better with kids than she is with other animals,” Lassell said. “We have four kids in the house, and she’ll let them pull on her, pet her. Whatever a kid does, she’ll just let them do it.”
Remi has built an unshakable relationship with her 9-month-old pittie brother after only a few weeks in her new home. “They’re fantastic together,” Lassell added. “They’re great friends who do everything together,” says the narrator. We go on walks all the time, and they sleep in the same bed with me at night.”
Remi has entirely evolved into the joyful, healthy puppy she was always supposed to be thanks to Lassell. Lassell, for one, is overjoyed by the unexpected addition to her family.
“Things are quite crazy right now,” Lassell said, “but the home simply seems to be complete now.” “We have two cats and two dogs, and she just finished everything for us.” “She’s my little darling,” says the narrator.
