FOR PIT'S SAKE


Did you know...
According to the American Canine Temperament Testing Association, 82.5%of the American Pit Bull Terriers that have taken the temperament test have passed, compared to a 77% passing rate for all breeds on average. In the test a dog is placed in a series of confrontational situations. The first sign of aggression or panic is a failure of the test. Pit bulls have achieved the fourth highest passing rate of all 122 breeds tested.

For Pit's Sake
Pit bulls and pit mixes make up the majority of dogs found in local shelters. And because of the breed's bad rap, it's harder for a pit bull than any other type of dog to find a home.
