Thinking about adopting a Pit Bull puppy? Like most people, you’ve probably heard time and again that if you have kids, you should adopt a Pit Bull puppy (or, gasp! find a Pit Bull puppy for sale). The rationale is that an adult shelter dog is an unknown quantity, so buying or adopting a Pit Bull puppy is safer. Puppies eventually can be trained out of this behavior, of course, and there are exceptions to every rule, but generally speaking, an adult Pit Bull (or any adult dog) is much less likely to shred your drapes like coleslaw or function as a “helpful” canine document shredder.So a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy needs to go outside every three hours, a four-month-old needs to go every four hours, and so on.  But if you’re planning on leaving your dog alone during your workday, you’ll definitely want to adopt a full-grown dog, ideally from a Pit Bull rescue that can help you find the right dog for your lifestyle. Let’s bust these myths about adopting a Pit Bull

Time to get real: when we ask people what reservations they have about Pit Bull adoption, we hear the same things over and over again.   You CAN find purebred Pit Bulls for adoption in an animal shelter or rescue group. Pit Bulls and Pit Bull puppies for adoption are NOT in any way inferior to or different from those for sale. If you want a puppy, you DON’T have to buy a Pit Bull puppy.  Pit Bull puppies ARE available for adoption. Here’s the truth: you absolutely can find a Pit Bull, even a Pit Bull puppy, for adoption in an animal shelter or rescue group.  Think about it: let’s say you buy a Pit Bull puppy for sale by a breeder. But what would happen to your wonderful Pit Bull if, tragically, something happened to you? The lucky person who adopts your Pit Bull would be getting a great dog!  Pit Bull rescue organizations often care for their adoptable dogs in foster homes, which means their foster families will be able to tell you if the Pit Bull you want to adopt is good with other animals or kids, and if he or she is housebroken and knows any basic commands.

As you can see, adopting from a rescue organization is likely the very safest way for people with children to add a new Pit Bull to their family!
