I fostered a pit after a lifetime of fearing them myself. He was clearly abused and came to me under very odd circumstances; just glad I got him when I did. My kids named him Lucas (Luke)...one of the wonderful oRg members here drove all the way from Chicago to VA to pick him up and give him a great home. I wanted to keep him so badly, but I was already getting grief from neighbors and the ex...he was the most amazing dog I've ever been around, and I've had Great Danes and loved them more than anything...Lucas was one in a million 
oops 
darn! ya' beat me to it.

I don't think I would ever own a pitbull.
They have too bad of a rap.

Only dog to ever bite me was a pit, so I've had a fear for most of my adult life. Fostering Lucas truly changed my mind on the stereotypes. For an abused dog, scarred from ropes around his neck, ears cut so short and badly that I can only imagine how that felt at the time when his owners did it, heartworm positive...all those strikes and all Luke did was love us. He was the best dog I'd ever been around, period. Not to say every pit would be like him, but I stopped fearing so much and learned that just like any breed, there's good and bad to be found...

i agree with you. i have worked with this breed my whole life, working in shelters and doing house to house cases training these dogs. they do need discipline and lots of it. in return they will be the most loyal dog you'll ever have. the whole reason the breed has a bad wrap is because of the human not the dog. the human will not feed the dog unless it fights then it rewards it with food. the human rewards the dog when it's mean, the human does not socialize the pitbull, the human overbreeds the dogs, the human makes a bad name for the dog, the human beats the dog. the pitbull is just like any other dog, u train the dog sit and what do you do when it sits...you reward it with food or a compliment or something, so i hope you get where i'm going with this....not trying to start some argument with anyone, but knowledge is everyone.... every time a "pitbull hater" meets my dogs they walk away with a different view of the breed and if you don't hahaha i'll beat your arse because i treat them like my kids, just kidding. just my input on this topic
My brother brought a pit home, I did not like having him around beautiful dog though. if we had gotten him as a pup be a different story but I feel that way about any breed that I can't kick through a window if he attacked me I admire VaBusa for open her home and taking a chance like that. Without knowing there history I wouldn't take a dog like that in.
Was a blue Nose Pitbull not actual dog here.
Sadly he ended up getting put down, as if there lives weren't short enough as it is.:down:

I'm a sucker for any animal that needs a home...he came to me under some pretty dire circumstances, early morning phone call, someone needed help getting this dog off the streets before he was returned to the abuse he'd grown up in. We believe he was a bait dog, used to train others to fight...
When I walked up on my back deck to see someone there with this HUGE pit on a leash, my heart sank. I was terrified. I had my two sons with me and I kept telling them to stay away from him until we knew how he'd behave. Those photos I posted were taken the same day we took him in. I have tons more, my kids lying on Luke, Luke lying next to them, etc. He was so grateful, I believe, for having someone LOVE him. We had him for 6 weeks while I dealt with the comments and hate for the breed before an oRg member so kindly gave him the home he deserved...
Having been on both sides, I truly do understand the fear, but after Luke, well, let's just say I wish like hell I could have kept him, but I'm so thankful he's got a wonderful home and a wonderful life compared to what he had when he fell in my lap. He changed the way I feel about the breed.
We havent told Penny yet so she doesnt know she's a poodle... shhhhhh
