Unfortunately, as fight dogs, it's going to be really hard to home them and it's ultimately probably a better use of limited shelter resources to put them down and use the saved funds to help other dogs.

47 of the Vick dogs were sent to sanctuaries. Some were able to be adopted and some lived out their lives in the sanctuaries. Only one had to be euthanized.

I've been fostering for a Boxer rescue org here in NE states for decades. Boxers sometimes get mistaken for Pits by people that can't tell the difference. We have also gotten in some mixes which we try to place. Used to volunteer at PSPCA and ACCT and met many wonderful Pit bulls. Shame they get such a bad rap, when it almost always is due to crappy owners.

I said last-chance rescues or sanctuaries. There are sanctuaries where fight dogs get to live their lives as dogs should, with love and care- even if they aren’t safe as domestic pets.
