Why are Pit bulls the Most Euthanized Breed in Shelters?

It pains us to say that pit bulls are “by far the most euthanized breed” in shelters, as reported by the Save-a-Bull Rescue. While studies vary, according to Arm The Animals,  “[e]ach year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, [with] approximately 40% of whom are Pit Bulls.” Save-a-Bull Rescue also noted in 2015 that “[a]bout 75% of municipal shelters euthanize pit bulls immediately upon intake,” meaning that these dogs weren’t even granted the opportunity to find a forever family. 

Arm The Animals has surmised that pit bulls are put down more than any other breed due to the following factors: 

Increased Breeding Rates

Kennel to Couch reported that over the years pit bull breeding rates have gone up, with approximately “3 to 5 million Pit Bulls in the United States.” Because shelters have limited resources, the overbreeding of pits directly impacts their euthanasia rates. 

To remedy the issues, owners are encouraged to get their pups spayed or neutered. 

Negative Stereotypes 

It is unsurprising to any pit bull advocate that negative stereotypes surrounding these dogs have devastating outcomes. 

According to a study done by Arizona State University, the stigma surrounding the term “pit bull” is so intense, that even just referring to a dog as a pit may prolong the process of them finding a home.

 “We were surprised how very similar-looking dogs sometimes get labeled ‘pit bull’ and other times as something completely different. These dogs may look and act the same, but the pit bull label damns them to a much longer wait to adoption,” wrote Lisa Gunter, the lead author of the study. 

Breed Specific Legislation 

Various cities across the nation adhere to breed specific legislation or BSL. The Stand Up For Pits Foundation notes that this type of legislation “bans and/or restricts ‘types’ of dogs based on their appearance.” According to the ASPCA, BSL is implemented “in an effort to decrease dog attacks on humans and other animals” but “[t]here is no evidence that breed-specific laws make communities safer for people or companion animals.”

BSL does, however, sometimes force people who are living in cities that ban certain breeds to give up their canine companion. These displaced dogs may spend the rest of their lives at a shelter, where they may eventually be euthanized.

So you may be wondering how you can help. Well, if you are in the market for a dog, we highly recommend adopting or fostering a pit bull. They are wonderful companions and have the most beautiful smiles. 

If neither adoption nor fostering is feasible, we encourage you to take the time to be a vocal pit bull advocate on social media and in your everyday life.

    Hi Everyone reading this Testimony. My name is DAVIS SILAS and I am from Uk. I want to use this opportunity to tell everyone that penis enlargement is real because i have experienced it through a HERBAL DOCTOR CALLED DR OSEMEN whom helped me enlarged my penis size from 4 inches to 9 inches with His herbal mixture liquid and cream and without side effect. I have been married for 6 years to my lovely wife. We had two beautiful kids and we lived happily until I started noticing a reduction in my penis size.it reduced to 4 inches and my wife started complaining that my manhood cannot satisfy her anymore it was really causing problems in my family. My wife threatened to divorce me if I do not solve the problem as soon as possible. So I started looking for a solution everywhere ,went to hospitals, took drugs, pills and some herbal medicine from Africa but none gave me the result. I was looking for a solution for good 3 years without a result..one day i was having a conversation with my coworker and i explained my problems to him and He told me about DR OSEMEN That helped him with similar issue, He gave me His website link https://drosemensolutionho.wixsite.com/drosemen i contacted him ,told him about my problems ,He replied and told me not to worry that He can solve my problems for me within three weeks with His herbal mixture cream and liquid  told me what I should do as instructed and I received the medicine.  and to my greatest surprise it was just 7 days of using the medicine and my penis was added extra inches. To cut the story short, I used the medicine for three weeks and my penis size is 9 inches long and girth 8.0. My family is back to more than it was before the issues but all thanks to DR OSEMEN for restoring peace and love to my family. Thank you sir.
