Truman inducted into NMVMA Pet Hall of Fame
Ruidoso News Reports
The New Mexico Veterinary Medical Association (NMVMA) recently inducted Truman, an 11-year-old Pit Bull Terrier, into the NMVMA Pet Hall of Fame.
Truman’s story began in 2010 when his owner, Mike and Tina Pavelka of Ruidoso, New Mexico, were contacted by a friend volunteering at a no kill animal shelter in Denton, Texas.
The shelter was having a difficult time adopting Truman simply because he was a Pit Bull. He had been at the shelter for four months and had become a staff favorite due to his sweet nature. There were plans, however, to move him to a kill shelter in the next 24 hours. Upon hearing the news, a home visit, at the Pavelka’s, was set up for that very day. Truman connected with the other dogs in the family and bonded very quickly with Tina.
