A rescue organization saved a pit bull named Ivy just days before she was to be euthanized. Ivy, originally found emaciated in a Maryland shelter, was revealed to be 19 years old through her microchip. Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue intervened on July 1, giving Ivy a chance at life. After being fostered for 113 days, she was adopted on October 27 by a family who will care for her. Ivy's story gained attention on social media, with many surprised by her age. The rescue organization confirmed her age based on the microchip, noting her teeth indicate she is indeed a senior dog.
