Looking for a GOOD home for a Pit.....

I have a 7 month old female pit, very sweet, she gets along great with other dogs and kids. House broken and has had her first set of shots.

Good luck. This thread probably won't go well.

Try a rescue group and see if they can help you.

I agree this thread isn't going to go well. I wish you luck with finding someone to take him or her in. I have heard of many cases of people getting mauled by them and don't consider them the most family friendly breed in the world.

Interesting, I came across this article while reading the news this morning.

Pit bulls get image makeover in hopes of finding homes

of course everyone has an opinion on this when you look at the comments.

I have seen a show on tv with some of the dogs they took from Vick. Broke my heart......one was so terrified she would crouch so kow while walking her belly was dragging the ground. As far as the rep they have for "mauling people".....a lot of breeds have it. Any dog can be a dangerous dog if trained to be.

People also get mauled by other breeds when the dogs are not raised properly. It's like picking on POOR people and saying they are the ONLY reason we have crime. NOT ! It's not just PITS or Rottie's or GDS's etc. ANY dog can be a potential biter.

I unfortunately must agree with others that this thread isnt going to go well. I've been around very few pits in my life so I cant vouch for the breed either way. I wish you luck in finding a suitable home!

I will say that the one I was around the longest (maybe 4 hours) attacked and nearly killed a neighbor's dog... The owner of the pitbull is literally 6'6" and built like a brick shythouse. He couldnt pull the pit off the neighbor's dog, no matter what he tried. Blood was everywhere... it was nasty.

But then again... I was waiting in the LuvMyPet line at Petco one day to get shots for my Aussie and there were 3 pits (2 puppies, one 2 y/o) in line directly behind me. There were tons of other dogs and a bunch of kids there, too. The pits were perfectly behaved and really friendly toward everyone - human and canine. I tried to pet another Aussie that was there and she lunged at my Aussie! I remember thinking "Dang we were better off around the pitbulls..."

Just my .02 on the soon to be coming subject of whether or not pits are bad dogs or not

I had a post up about breaking up a dog fight waiting for shots... All the pits just sat quietly...

Anyway, I'm just gonna sit here and wait for it to go badly. Doesn't look like it will though, it's been here for days...

I know of a St. Bernard that is VERY aggressive to humans... and WILL maul someone any chance it gets! The dog got a hold of my friend really good on the arm.

This dog has to wear a muzzle at all times


so Im gonna say... blame the deed... not the breed

and trust me.. Im not pit advocate.... but I have seen far more nasty labs than pits :shrug:

One of my best friend's has a pit who's absolutely adorable, I'm pretty sure she thinks she's a lap dog

 

[ArkRescue]

LABS???!!! You don't say? OMG ... now those are FAMILY DOGS aren't they?

Nah it won't go bad for the pits here - because it's those darn DOBERMANS that deserve all the bad press!
