Oh, frog snot.
During my period of solo Dobermann rescue, I happened to pick up a Pit bitch that the shelter couldn’t rehome due to extremely bad physical condition.
Even the mushy Ibizan Hounds pushed her around.
She went to a girl who adored that dog and never during its entire lifetime did she have one second’s ‘trouble’ from her.
All my rehomes were trained before they left here and were model citizens.
Thank God your friend got over himself and picked a less trendy breed.
I don’t now what state you live in but in some states re-homing of pitt bulls is not allowed at the local shelters. Too much liability so the the pittbulls are euthanized. I know it’s sad but I’m glad there are people like you who will take them in. My Mother used to do a small dog rescue. She even went to the State Capital to protest puppy mills. A lot of their rescues originated in puppy mills.
