Help save the pits...

How could anyone turn down this face?

Ever since the horrid Shenica Accident in Vancouver B.C. Canada the S.P.C.A and many shelters all over Canada and the world has gottin Pitbulls left right and center as if they were nothing. I think it is very harsh that people have these stereotypes mushed into their head. Most of the people think that all pitbulls are visiouse and will rip you up .. They arnt they are actully one of the most best family dogs out there is.

There has been a bunch of pure bred Pitbull puppies *with beautiful markings* in the Kelowna S.P.C.A since the Shenica inccedent and non have been adopted with ease .. People have been terrified of them, thinking they will grow up to be monsters..
How could anyone turn down these faces?

I would like to see what you guys think. Thanks ..

They are such cuties!!!

I agree, our neighbor had a pit, and it was so sweet--they had a baby, and he loved to play with her!!!

I would love to have one someday!!

Sweethearts!!!!!

I REALLY REALLY wish I lived in the USA, I would be there in a flash. (Would have to run down my mother to get there first though )

I hope they find homes soon. They are beautiful.

The one in the front of the main picture, looks like the dog we had many years ago. She was a Pit, and she was fantastic.

i love pitbulls, i think they just need good owners...some breeds need more attention than others and i think that owners dont understand this, and get the wrong breed for them...
i love pitbulls, they r such sweethearts
my friends dog got attacked by one the other day and it had to get surgery but the owner was a complete loser....my friends husband started yelling at him and the owner just acted like a complete jerk some ppl...

I know most dogs behavior depends on how they are treated by their owners..

Tinker (RB) was severly injured by a pit. Of course TINKER attacked the pit and was trying to kill HIM. My fault, he got off the leash and the pit was leashed with his (too young, too small) owner trying to control him. I had NO control over my dog. MY FAULT. Any dog can be dangerous, some just have more muscle & power.
Some chihuahuas (the above mentioned Tinker) would be put down if they had that kind of strength. They would be branded 'killers" and banned.
I know a poodle that would have to be destroyed if he had the muscle to maime and kill, he's quick with the pearly whites and you have to watch him, but he's a "harmless" little poodle.
I'm not saying anything bad about these dogs, just trying to make a point.
Our American Staffordshire, Zypher (RB) was VERY strong. I didn't trust myself (100 lbs at the time) to walk him alone. If he saw a cat- shoom!! Gone! ALL pet owners have to have control over their pets regardless of whether it weighs 10 lbs or 110 lbs.
I personally love the breed.

Well, I'm a bully girl myself! lol I love the pits, staffies, bulldogs, mastiffs....all of them. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for pits, tho. Our family dog (pit mix) saved me from being kidnapped when I was just 9 years old! She lived to be 16 and I still miss her. I try to do as much pitbull PR as I can. I make sure all of my pits are extra well trained. I don't take them to off-leash dog parks (too much potential for bad PR) and I've got one in training to be a certified therapy and Reading With Rover dog.
