Pit Bull Rescue and Breed Information

Charlie (Our Rescue Pit)

Responsible Pit bull Ownership:
Any Pit Bull owner should fully admit that these dogs are not the right breed for everyone to own. Pit Bulls are a breed that require a lot of attention, training, dedication, and most of all, a tough skin. With BSL rearing its ugly head in different parts of the world, it is important that Pit Bull owners are responsible, and a positive representative of the breed. Please, help set a good example!

Are YOU Ready For a Pit Bull? Keep These Points in Mind:

- Pit Bulls are affectionate and devoted family pets: That means that they require a lot of attention and love; Banishing a dog to the backyard for the entire day, or leaving him/her in a kennel hours on end is no way to treat your pooch. At the very least, two hours a day must be spent with your furry friend, or you might end up with a Pit Bull that is destructive and depressed.
- Pit Bulls are agile and athletic: That means that they need a lot of exercise. Any dog, but especially Pit Bulls, need at least one hour of exercise every day. Without exercise, and a way to release energy, your Pit Bull may become bored and destructive, or simply obese!
- Pit Bulls may possess animal aggression: A trait that is not uncommon amongst dogs of any breed, animal aggression simply means that your dog may not get along with other animals, especially other dogs. A responsible owner will accept this and ensure that any dog on dog socialization is monitored closely to prevent a fight from breaking out. In this case, off-leash dog parks are an obvious 'no, no' for any dogs possessing animal aggression.
- Pit Bulls receive a lot of bad hype: This is why Pit Bull owners need to develop a thick skin, and instead of retaliating to any negative comments or stereotypes about the breed, they should aim to educate the public. Being a positive ambassador of the breed is one of the best ways to help people realize how wonderful these dogs really are.
