So……you’re thinking about introducing a pet into your home. It’s both an exciting and life-changing decision, but one that shouldn’t be made half-heartedly. Here are some things to consider…Can you afford to take care of an animal? How much time can you devote to your new four-legged friend? Is your home safe and suitable for a pet? What do you know about Pitbulls as a breed?
Reason #1: You Will Be Saving A Life
This is the biggest, most important reason to adopt a Pitbull. You’re giving a Pitbull a second chance at life. In their past lives, some may have been abused, abandoned, or had to fend for themselves on the street. By adopting, you are giving that dog a safe and loving home and providing him with the opportunity in which they can learn to be a happy and healthy dog again. This is the ultimate “Set up for success.”
Reason 2: You Help Prevent Breed Overpopulation
By making a choice to adopt a Pitbull instead of buying from a breeder or a pet store (If those even still exist) you are also CHOOSING to care for a dog who already needs your support. Adoption is one of the best ways that you can help ensure that your dog receives the love and care they deserve.
Reason 3: You Won’t Be Supporting Backyard Breeders
Unfortunately, over time Pitbulls have been forced to breed as often as possible and kept under cruel living conditions in the process. By choosing to adopt, not only are you providing a loving home for a deserving dog, but you will also be supporting animal welfare in the process.
Reason 4: Pitbulls Love To Be Loved On: Cuddling Is Not An Option…you Have No Say In It!!!
Cuddling is mandatory when it comes to the Pitbull breed. If you aren’t into daily warms snuggles and aren’t comfortable with “Wearing” a Pitbull as a blanket you may want to consider a different breed. BUT…If you are looking for the most loyal loving companion who will never let you down, then a Pitbull is perfect for you and your home.
Reason 5: Pitbulls Love People And Children
Pitbulls were given the title of “Nanny Dogs” many years ago because they are natural caretakers. Most tend to show affection towards children, are protective and are very understanding of the vulnerability of a child. Although Pitbulls have been highly publicized and labeled as “Aggressive” and “Uncontrollable in the media, the truth is that Pitbulls are warm hearted companions, which is why they make great family pets. Always be mindful and aware with ANY dog breed, All dogs should always be supervised when interacting with children, regardless of breed.
Reason 6: Pitties Are Highly Intelligent And Easily Trainable
Pitbulls are easy to work with and very smart. They are great listeners, learn quickly and they are always eager to please. Pitbulls are most comfortable with routine and structure and they respond well to positive reinforcement. With consistent training, obedience will never be an issue. You will be the envy of all of your dog friends once they see what a great listener you have!
Reason 7: You Gain The Advantage Of Having An Adult Dog
Many shelter Pitbulls are adult dogs. One great advantage of having an adult dog is that they are likely to know several basic commands and/or be house and crate trained. Having already learned these basic skills can make adjusting to their new environment that much easier.
Reason 8: You Might Find your Dream Pet which Improves both your life and Theirs.
