Amelia the viral pooch: 6-year-old Florida pit bull pup's final struggle before finding her forever home

Amelia, a six-year-old pit bull at Pasco County Animal Services in Land O' Lakes, Florida, found a forever home after her story went viral.

Second Shot, an organization that photographs shelter dogs, posted Amelia's story, which caught the attention of a man in New York City.

Transportation was a final hurdle because airlines refused to fly a pit bull.

RetrievAir, a company offering flights with pets in the cabin, offered to fly Amelia but had no Florida flights soon.

The community raised $2,850 in under 24 hours for private transport to get Amelia to her new home in Brooklyn.
