We like to adopt dogs. Every time we’ve lost one and begin to look for a new one I start hitting the shelters, all I find are pit bull crosses or chihuahua crosses. I’ve actually had better luck off Craigslist.
It seems to be widespread. When I adopted my current pup, there was only one other dog in the place that wasn’t at least part pit bull. It’s mind boggling how many people bring these beasts home, then abandon them as if the pit bull reputation ‘won’t apply this time.’
