Adopting Pit Bulls and the Mix or Purebreed Debate

With just about any breed of dog, you hear the basic debate of should you get a pure breed dog or a mix breed dog. Well, there's nothing wrong with mix breeds, not even with bully breed dogs, like the APBT. You can easily go to your local shelter and find at least one or two Pit Bull mixes (given that you do not live in a BSL area). These dogs need homes and loving people just like a pure bred dog. And, most of the time they are calmer, as they are mixed with some other breed, but of course that isn't a definitely 100% guarantee with a mix APBT.

Should I Get a Mix-Breed or Pure Breed Dog?

Now, as for adopting, it's simple... If you really want the dog, you'll jump through the hoops that most adoption agencies make you jump. Because adopting a bully breed dog can be a liability, the shelter wants to make sure that you are the right person for the dog in terms of experience, knowledge, and common sense.

American Pit Bull for Adoption

Jade a gorgeous APBT mix is available for adoption at Claws N Paws in Buena Vista, GA.

Age: about 3 years old
Color: white with red markings; red nose

Jade was surrendered by her owner's children. The owner commited suicide, and her boyfriend was in jail for driving without a license. The children did not want Jade or Nyla, Jade's 7 month old puppy, so they surrendered the 2, to the rescue.

As a no-kill shelter, Jade and her daughter will be housed until adoption.
