Post #11 I Love Pitbulls

       This past week I was promoted to do all of the bully breed adoptions. I am extremely excited and happy to have this position now. Bully breeds are considered any breed that can be aggressive, the most popular is pitbulls. I love pits and I think they make amazing pets, especially for families. They are very loving, friendly, loyal, and super adorable. Pits have a bad reputation, but that's what makes me love my job even more because I let people know how they really are and get to watch them change their minds right before my eyes. Because they are considered bully breeds the state requires us to make the process more complicated to insure we home them to great families that won't use them for anything bad. Potential adopters must fill out a four page profile and be approved before they can even visit with the dog. Once they have been approved and pick out a dog, the dog gets sent to be spayed or neutered and micro-chipped before they can go home. They do cost more than our typical adoptions but they are fully worth the price.
 

This is Aria, a pit we adopted out a few weeks ago. The entire staff was in love with her sweet, calm, and loving personality. Pitbulls make perfect pets :)

   
          Daisy is the first pitbull I have adopted out since I became in charge of them. She is such a lover and a very active and playful little girl. A couple came into the shelter and were very interested in Daisy so they went through the long process to see her and fell in love with her within two minutes. They stayed in the shelter for a good hour or longer playing with Daisy outside and it was very cute to watch them all play together. After she went and got spayed they took her home and were so happy to have her. I love seeing pitbulls leave because we have a harder time getting them adopted. I don't know the statistics but it seems like we get pitbulls more than any other breed in the shelter and they are usually the hardest to get adopted. I not only excited to work with all the pitbulls from now one because I love them, but also because I can't wait to do everything I possibly can to get more and more pitbulls out of the shelter and adopted into amazing families.
         Daisy is just one of many great pits we have at the shelter. If you are looking for a pit or want to see a wonderful, misunderstood dog, come into the shelter today and ask about how you can visit with one of these pitbulls and hopefully take one home.
