But he came with me to the animal shelter and met some super sweet and affectionate pit bulls, and listened with an open mind to what the adoption counselors had to say about the breed's true nature. I ended up with a little gazelle instead, but when I'm ready for a second dog it'll be a pit bull. Their big gentle faces just melt me. Petfinder.com lists over 15,000 homeless pit bulls in the US up for adoption right now, and I have been obsessively reading the about each one, as if looking at each of the hundreds of thousands of dogs will work some magic toward them finding homes.

There's just a lot more risk involved for the dog.

Soon, a brand new dog breed will occur along to the media to blast, as they have performed rotties and dobies in prior years. Unfortunate that media sensationalism breeds a lot inaccurate details.

I just looked in on adopting Some and there was a Pitt named kyla who had been abused by it's owner. Half her tail was cutt off. So sad. Then it said that she's very smart and good with others. She may not be A puppy but she stole my heart. I really want her but she's $150 and I don't have that much money. If only I did then I would adopt her in a heart beat. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to settle for my pug Bubbles!!! Thanks a lot. I just looked in on adopting Some and there was a Pitt named kyla who had been abused by it’s owner. Half her tail was cutt off.

My mom thinks that they are evil biting monsters and then I said any dog can bite. And she flipped out, then I showed her this website and she finally believed me. When I move out I'm getting 2 pitbull puppies so they can both be trained around each other while I associate them to other dogs. Thank you for letting people know the truth about pitbulls!!!
