Pit Bulls
While there are some wonderful, well trained pit bulls, due to their bad reputation, some shelters no longer take the responsibility for finding them a new home and may elect to euthanize them instead of putting them up for adoption. Use the petfinder list on the “Tips” sheet above to contact rescues or shelters and check their policy for pit bulls.
Here are links for pit bulls that might be able to guide you:
