Pit
Bull Rescue.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the rescue, care, training and adoption of Pit Bull Terriers and Pit Bull Terrier
mixes. We are particularly concerned about the use of this
breed for dog fighting
and the abuse that accompanies it. We work with any "no-kill"
shelter in major cities that do"Pit Bull friendly" work to
help make these animals more adoptable. We also award grants
to these shelters to encourage their work. If you are interested
in joining us in our efforts, please contact
us.

The
Pit Bull Terrier is the most misunderstood, maligned, abused
and feared breed of dog. Like other breeds, Pit Bulls are
social, fun loving, eager to please and trainable. Unfortunately,
the Pit Bull Terrier has been targeted for the illegal sport
of dog fighting. These unfortunate
dogs are often routinely beaten, starved, burned, tortured
— so badly abused and damaged that they must be put down.
Given the prevalence of dog fighting in every major city in
our country, there are still many, many good Pit Bull Terriers
that are looking for a loving home. Organizations like ours
and others around the country rescue the dogs that are not
dangerous. When you visit our shelters, you will find some
of the most affectionate, family oriented, social and fun
loving dogs of any breed. |

Pit
Bull Rescue also does public speaking and demonstrations to
help educate the public. If you are interested in having one
of our representatives speak to your group about the dog fighting
issue in your community, please contact us.
