You know what happens when shelters don’t kill healthy animals? They get community support!
PITBULLS
No kill is not about housing dogs in kennels for months or years. It is about getting animals out the door and into homes.

ThatMutt.com will be sponsoring the adoption fee of a shelter dog each month. For the first month I picked a dog named Gemini from the Humane Society Fargo-Moorhead.
Is pitbull awareness month still necessary, or is it time to put an end to “team pitbull” and simply focus on all dogs as a whole? Setting a group of dogs aside and labeling them differently makes them seem different to adopters, and that’s not always a good thing.
To get pitbulls adopted, rescues should hold more fundraising days that involve getting the dogs out in public. The pitbulls should attend these events and not be tucked away in the back kennels.
How can shelters get more pitbull dogs adopted without placing blame on the dogs or on the public?
I’ve caught myself spreading myths about pitbull dogs such as “They can be really nice dogs. It’s how they’re raised.” This myth implies that a pitbull raised without love, training or exercise will become a “bad dog.”
I chew. I beg. I pant. I breathe. I live. I sing. I play. I love. I am your dog, your pitbull dog.
