Pit bull adoption

Oh....
Forgot.....

Please don't consider cropping the ears.
I did that to a Dobie many, many years ago and it was not nice to see.
As I grew older, I imagined what it would be like if my mom and dad cut my ears off.
As you can see, Layla has hers and looks great.
It sounds to me like you want a friend and not a Pit in the traditional sense owners want them.
I truly think keeping them as they are allows them to show their "kind" face and be loved by all.
Layla is the joy of the neighborhood.
I have to take her leash off and let her run with the neighbor's dogs and with the kids around the house.
She plays ball with all of them.
I rather have that than a mean dog that can bite someone and perpetuate a bad rap they have.

Pits are fantastic dogs. One adopted me just this past winter.
He was shivering in the February cold so hard I could have sworn I heard his bones rattle. This is him the night I brought him home. We washed him and gave him a blanket, he just slept and slept. We named him Stanley. He's the most greatful dog I have ever had. I have three other dogs, a dobie, another pit mix and a Jack Russel. The dobie is the only one we actually bought.

Wow.
White spots too.

The part in bold?
I swear I would have said this but was afraid I was nuts.
I truly believe they are grateful.
Don't know what it is but they are.
Seems yours, the OP's and mine all had a similar initial fate but were amongst the lucky to find loving homes.

I tell everyone mine is a true ambassador for the good side of their breed.

It's true. It's like he remembers what it was like being on the street. I'm sure Layla feels the same way.

Far too many fall into the wrong hands.

As far as Vick is concerned, the only real justice would be for him to never turn another buck in football, in any capacity again.

I have a 55lb Red Nose pit named Candela. She is awesome and great with the kids. However, if I get into an arguement with my wife or wrestle my pit gets defensive on the aggressor. She does not tolerate violence. She is the best and doing well for being five years old. Below is a pic when she was about 2.
