The purpose of the American Pit Bull Foundation is to promote responsible breed ownership through providing:
- owner and public education
- positive alternatives to pit fighting
- programs to endorse and recognize responsible breed ownership
- provide medical and financial assistance for dogs with responsible owners
- aid in adoption of Pit Bulls to responsible individuals or families
Some nice lady found me on the side of the road - she can't understand why anyone would abandon me because I'm so sweet. I love playing with balls and going for bike rides. I think I'd make a great dog for a forever family!
