YES! Even breeding a dog ONCE contributes to the problem. Approximately 4000 Pit Bulls a day are euthanized in this country, totaling over 1.5 Million Pit Bulls a year. The Pit Bull Breed and mixes are the most abandoned, abused, and fought dog in our country. Only 1 out of every 600 Pit Bulls make it out of the shelters alive. They are the breed least likely to be adopted, due to prejudice, breed bans, housing bans, and BSL Laws. Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes average 65% of shelter intakes nationally and about 75% of municipal shelters euthanize Pit Bulls immediately upon intake, without them ever having any chance at adoption or rescue. Those that are offered for adoption are usually the first chosen for euthanasia when overcrowding forces the shelters hand and decisions have to be made. The extremely sad thing is that Pit Bulls are also the most bred dog in America. It is completely irresponsible for people to continue to breed these dogs when so many of them are dying each day in our shelters. Please be part of the solution and not the problem. Spay and neuter your dogs! ~KM
