7. If you want to adopt a dog in TX, healthy young, pit bulls are always available at any city shelter

They have large litters and many have irresponsible owners who refuse to spay or neuter them...They get these big dogs, then turn them lose or let them roam the neighborhood after they realize they are too much work. Meanwhile the dogs mate and more pit bulls and mixes are out there.

The shelters are not rescues, they don't do background checks on future owners and their fees are minimal compared to rescues.

There are not many other healthy breeds available at shelters except for lab/pit mixes and a few German Shepherds.

Sadly, the problem with pitties is that they are the sweetest dogs on the planet, until they aren't. ratchiweenie Jul 2022 #3
