Guest Anonymous Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Ive been seeing posts from different forums about shelters looking for people who would like to adopt pitbulls...well if you can just send them here, we'll accept them all...no exagerations whatsoever...ive got tons of friends who'd love to own one...and not just to own, but those who would really take care of them...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Jigger If they want one for a pet, then that is great. It has been my experience though, that anything with a boxy head is called a pit. We seldom see a purebred pit. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 yeah i know...but its really hard to tell unless you know their lineage...anyway im dead serious, here where i come from, people are very fond of owning dogs, and they're not breed concious(unlike me of course, its pitbull or nothing at all)...so if you guys need help with your overpopulation of pits...send 'em here to us...

GizmoRedNosePit Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Jigger you put a smile on my face!! It's not very often when I hear someone wanting pits to help them and make them happy again!! If I find anyone wanting to get rid of a pit I will let you know!! My pit is staying home with me though!! :D Quote

I note you are not saying where here is :lol: In all honesty when you see a statement like that about pitbulls it makes people wonder what the true reason is for the dogs being wanted. I know far too many reasons other than 'pet' for people to desire a lot of dogs of this breed. I bet when you got the first two dogs you would discover all those 'tons of friends' just evaporated - its a common phenonemon in the rescue or even in the breeding world where 'everyone wants a pup' right up until you have some available! :lol: Quote
Peng1zrule Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 i agree with the last anonymous...I can't imagine how many people all said, "if your dog ever has pups, let me have one!" (or, if asking before hand whether my females are spayed, which they are) "i wish she would've had a litter--i would love to take one like her!" i've got to the point where I just dismiss those comments because every time I heard about a pup similar to one of mine, who needed a home, I would call up the quoted, and they would say, "well, gee, I can't really have one right now..."

Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 true but that is why you always have back ups as many as you can have! I was promised a female and I got it and love her but if I wouldn't of taken it or taken it back the breeder ALWAYS had someone asking for a female red nose. Everyones life can change from the time they say they want a puppy and then the bitch mates and then has the puppys...I know mine did but I wasn't going to back down and not take her.... Breeders REAL breeders should always have backups...no exceptions...... Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 K napisał(a):Anyone else think that there should be a "waiting period" before you get your first dog? to give you time to think/read up/prepare...I think a two week minimum...........K. When adopting out rescues I make people wait a week from the time they meet the dog - gives them time to consider without looking at the dog's eyes :-) As I am not a pet store moving the dogs out is not the point matching them to people who really do want and really will love and make time for them is what counts. Last two weeks I had hot adopters who measured up in the good home category but who wimped out in the week's wait time for different reasons - one got another dog instead and one suddenly had huge work assignments dumped on them... As for pups - well anyone getting a pup from me and has to sign in blood :D plus all dogs rescues included are returnable for life here. Quote

It has been my experience though, that anything with a boxy head is called a pit. We seldom see a purebred pit. Heck, around here, it can boxy heads, snipey faces, long floppy ears, erect ears, 25 lbs, 100+ lbs... if it's not any other type of discernible breed, it's automatically a "pit bull." Of course, if it has ANY more than just a slick coat, it's automatically a "chow." :-? Quote

I did not know this....when I was young my mother owned two Chow Chows one black one blonde and I only remeber a little of them but they were my pillows while I watched T.V. and as far as I know she never had a problem with them I will ask her.....K. Oh chows had a very bad rep for a long time and still do in many areas - they are not a golden retreiver type of temperament dog! Quote
