My first pit bull was adopted by me when I was working at the Humane Society. The AC officer took me in to the quarantine room one morning to show me a really great dog that had come in the afternoon before. I had been looking to bring another dog in to my home but hadn't met the right one. The moment I laid eyes on Cooper I was done. We spent time together in the training room and I felt an instant connection. Brought my dogs in to the shelter the next morning to meet him and adopted him that evening. I hadn't planned on a bully breed, per se, but worked with them every day and loved them. Cooper was with us for 8 years before he passed from osteosarcoma 2 years ago.
My current pit bull came from a pit bull rescue here in Pittsburgh. I was an approved adopter/foster home for this group and this guy showed up in their rescue and once again, I was hooked. Emmett came down with parvo the night I adopted him and survived, then developed demodex from the stress to his immune system. It was a tough first month but he is a special boy. Bright and loyal, trusting and lovable. One of the most laid-back, chill dogs I have ever owned.
I will always have a pit bull or bully breed in my home. Theyr'e too wonderful not to.
