You guys are good peeps for doing what you're doing right now. Not a lot of people would do anything for it if they were in your situation. The dog deserves a better life, he will reward you with an unyielding love in return.

thank you! there is no point in buying a dog from a breeder unless you are going to enter a show of some sort. there are MILLIONS of dogs put to sleep every year because of overcrowded adoption centers and humane societies. I commend OP for taking this dog in and giving it a home. MY sister adopted a pit mix that was found in an alley in nyc. It is the sweetest dog I have ever played with. Also, they do require a lot of exercise. I would recommend getting a harness instead of a choker. Pitbulls love pulling, and it doesnt hurt them. . if you like rollerblading...

If your dog is calm enough to let you touch him and pet him then everything should be ok. I adopted a pomeranian who was abused (owners gave him alcohol, beat him, threw him in the pool, dragged him by his tail, etc.) and he's just vicious towards anyone. He'll come over and put his head in my lap and push my hand to pet him, but then he gets nervous and tries to bite back immediately. I think you'd be pretty safe to adopt him, especially if he's taken to your wife.

I agree, just be cautious. A friend of mine took in a pit that had been poorly treated, beaten, etc., and for about a year the pit got along great with her other dog. One night she came in from work and found the pit waiting at the door with red stains around its mouth, and her other dog (I forget what breed it was) dead on the floor in its own blood. I think pits are great dogs, but I just think you should be careful with one with that type of history.

I honestly don't know too much about dogs, but I have a Pitt as well and she used to have food aggression when she was younger. My family and I got her out of that habit, so it can definitely be controlled. The only concern would be the dog around your kids, but I'm sure you're already cautious of that. Big props for taking care of the dog and not sending it to the pound
. I wish more people would adopt instead of supporting the breeders...

I adopted a Pitbull/Terrier mix from the SPCA 2 years ago in September I believe. He was clearly abused/a fighter he has permanent scars and major trust issues. I brought him home to my Yorkie and she kicks his butt. He is the most loving dog I've ever had and I've had dog(s) all 22 years of my life. He's fantastic with my 14 month old daughter and the two other dogs in my house. Every time I take him somewhere someone will ask if he is a Pitbull and then proceed to give me the
. Good luck OP

Yo OP that's a stand up move. I love pit bulls. Grew up around dog fighting and I'm so ashamed that I wasn't at an age where I could've helped the dogs or prevented people from doing it. I plan on getting one when I graduate.
