Pitbulls for rehoming

There are always a ton of them in the classifieds. What makes anyone think they can rehome a pit that they themselves don't want? And who in their right mind would adopt an unwanted pitbull that has behavior issues?

A co-worker recently had to "re-home" their pit because it attacked another family pet dog, gutted and killed it. I would have re-homed it to doggie hell with a .22 between the eyes. That breed of dog is useless.

It happens all the time.

Most dogs have an amazing drive to please, and, personally, I find it amazing that many dogs can be beaten, chained up in a back yard somewhere, left in a dumpster, shot, burned, maimed, you name it, and yet they still have the ability to unconditionaly love humans.

Something that can't be said for most humans.

I would hope that most humans weren't that dumb.

There are 6 separate ads on here for them. Some are for free and some are for sale. I'm extremely annoyed by one ad because I know the person. I noticed that she was selling them before they were even 6 weeks old. Her and her mother have been selling non-registered puppies for years.

Up here, if they've bitten, they will not adopt them out. I won't say what they do with them because, no doubt, a whole bunch of people will get all upset...

I hope you are not implying that the Humane Society takes biters out and shoots them, because I know for a fact that's not true. They's all cityfied and they actually euthanize the animals with an injection.

Darn, can't re-home this one. They had to kill it.

Quote:
HODGES, S.C. —A 65-year-old Upstate woman was killed when she was attacked by a dog as she babysat her grandchildren.

Officers said when they tried to go inside the home, they found an aggressive pit bull with blood on its mouth, chest and paws at the door.

The victim’s brother-in-law, David Todd, said, "This dog has never shown any aggression before. It slept in the bed with them. They've had the dog four years, and it never ever showed anything like this."
