Let's talk about how much our friendly pitbull pets need homes just as much as the "average" dog. People are so quick to go and purchase a dog for an astronomical amount of money, before going to an animal shelter and rescuing a pitbull. What most people fail to realize, is that regardless if a pit was placed for adoption and now resides in an animal shelter due to fighting or whatever the reason maybe, we have to remember--IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT!!! They did not ask to run on treadmills everyday or to fight till their bloody and dieing, but the owners who did this to them and left them with no other option or place to reside. This is where we come in. Wouldn't you rather renew a life that was once harmed and almost ended, rather than always spending over $1,200 at times for a puppy? Puppies are always fun, but think of it as having your own children and adopting another from a needy place. The joy is much more rewarding knowing that you saved a life. These pits don't have much of a choice from here, it's save them in a certain amount of time, or have them put down.
There are many shelters which house only pitbulls in hopes of people realizing that these are probably one of the greatest breeds, amongst many that are out there. There are also "meet up" groups online where you can join to talk about the pit you have adopted and where you have found him/her. We really need to think about what we do before we do it, as in anything. Why on earth should a pitbull die because of the stupidity of someone else's actions? I bet if they could pick up the phone and call 911 because of what was being done to them, they would; but they can't. So let's help rejuvenate this breed, bring them back, save them and show people that they aren't what they are stereotyped to be. My pit is by far one of my greatest joys, and now everyone should go out, follow the links and adopt one to make your home a happy one.
