That's what I was just thinking.

Yup.

Or I could not get Uma, call animal control, and Uma would be put to sleep because our area animal control automatically puts pits down.

I'd rather save a dog's life and let the idiot run off with some money.

I'm sure there's a Pit Rescue in your area that would take them.

What about all of the other dogs?

Tonya,

Thanks for saying that. Hey, maybe you could get her for a
small adoption fee when they've all been impounded & save
giving that man a dime. (reward) Looking forward to pics. I do
love the breed. They are great people dogs.

Sad but true.. I've watched some of the animal cops episodes on Animal Planet and the shelters will automatically put down pits, even if they act friendly and are all wagging and happy. They won't allow them to be adopted out because of the potential hazard and I think because they don't want to take any chances of the dog fighting people getting ahold of them again.

I can understand wanting to save the dog and not take the chance..

I searched... here's a pit rescue in Modesto.

I went through this when I stole that pit that had been fought. (Whetto.) A pit rescue has no rights to confiscate a dog nor will a pit rescue accept a stolen dog. Also, I would get fired if I went back and stole Uma. If I knew I could adopt Uma from the pound which are the only folks that have rights to take a dog from the owners, I would go that route. But they put pitbulls to sleep. Especially ones that came from a mill. She isn't even a family pet.

Can the rescue forcibly take the dogs from a bad situation or do they have to be surrendered? I'm pretty sure only Animal Control can forcibly take dogs..

Also the ones that are treated the worst are pit mixes I thought?

I'm not sure of the specifics by any means.

[K9soul]

Woops, Tonya replied quicker than me. =P

[Kfamr]

Yes, but rescues normally rescue dogs from animal control.


I don't know, they do here, maybe CA is a little screwed.

[Tonya]

California is screwed! Lol. You can't rescue a pit.

[K9soul]

Btw, this is a pic of my sister's RB Pit, Shine. She adored Shine, said she was the most gentle and loving dog imaginable.

[Tonya]

Like k9 said, it has to be surrendered. The guy barely gave her to me for $300.

[Tonya]

She's beautiful! That's like Uma's brindle patches.

[Kfamr]

That's very sad. It's too bad people are so stupid. I feel bad for the other dogs. Would you be able to take one of the neglected ones instead? It sounds like Uma is much better taken care of then some of the others.
