When are rescued fighting dogs, ever saved and adopted? I do know that, a couple of them (Vick's dogs) were actually sent to my county's SPCA and were successfully adopted out (one of them is a RIP now though). We all know, that's because it was a hyped up celebrity's story, with a load of media attention. The truth is, the intent to "save" these fighting dogs, is not to be "adopted" into a new life, rather, the end of the needle. The general public is not suited for a proven fighting dog as a "pet" and they wouldn't take the time, to send them off into the hands of an experienced pit bull owner. That's just not how things work with this breed, as DA is still under the responsibility of the owner "training it out" or "raising them properly". So, of course the shelter is going to say that they are unsuited by that point (DA) alone.
