October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
Pit Bull type dogs are usually the last to be adopted from shelters
When you adopt a dog from a shelter, you’re saving a life while adding to your own. Dogs make you healthier because when you exercise and care for them, you’re improving your health and fitness as well.
October is also National Pit Bull Awareness Month that began as an effort to educate the public about this much maligned breed type. There is no Pit Bull breed, so this name takes in ‘bully breeds’ such as Staffordshire Terriers and American Bulldogs with people mistaking boxer and mastiff mixes as Pit Bulls.
Unfortunately due to the public perception that Pit Bulls are dangerous dogs, they are often the last to be adopted from shelters. In shelters with high-kill rates, this means that perfectly healthy dogs are destroyed for no reason.
These bully breeds are bred for strength and perseverance, so it’s critical that they are well-socialized. Early learning of good responses to new people and animals will ensure that they will not have to be rehabilitated as adult dogs.
