Did you know that there are more pit bulls waiting for homes and dying in shelters across the United States than any other breed? Many shelters will not even give pit bulls a chance to find a home—they are automatically euthanized. The Humane Society for Hamilton County is proud to be a shelter that does not discriminate against pit bulls or any other breed of dog. We believe every individual dog should be judged based on his or her temperament and actions.

The truth is, pit bulls are really fantastic dogs who make excellent pets. They’re not for everyone, just as Labrador Retrievers may not be for everyone. But the breed is inherently very good with people, especially kids, and full of charisma and personality. Information regarding Pit Bulls, their history, and why they are perceived so negatively today is available HERE.

Even with the negative perception of pit bulls, they remain one of the most popular breeds in the country. Unfortunately, they are not always popular with responsible pet owners who have selected the breed for the right reasons. As a result, many pit bulls and pit mixes are finding themselves sitting in shelters—homeless, unwanted, abused or victims of breed specific restrictions. The Humane Society for Hamilton County has so many wonderful pit bulls and pit mixes waiting for homes that we decided to launch a program called Pit Bull Angels to recognize those individuals in the community who open their homes to pit bulls or pit mixes either permanently or through foster care, or who become a financial sponsor of a pit bull or pit mix shelter dog.

As a member of the HSHC Pit Bull Angel Network, you will be recognized on our website and monthly newsletter. You will be a part of a very special group of people who are dedicated to restoring the reputation of this extraordinary breed and giving them the chance they deserve.

Becoming a Pit Bull Angel is easy. Please fill out and submit a Foster Application noting that you would like to foster pit bulls or pit bull mixes. If you would like to adopt a pit bull, please visit the shelter or review our pet profiles HERE.

For questions or additional information on fostering or adopting a pit bull, email animalprograms@hamiltonhumane.com, and for sponsorship opportunities, email hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com.

Be an angel. Help save a pit bull today
