Pitbull Truth
The pitbull euthanasia rate in kill shelters is approximately 93 percent. Out of 100 pitbulls that are
surrendered to these shelters, only 7 will survive. This is something to think about before you adopt. Please help
these animals before it's too late!
Operation Pets located in Blasdell, NY is offering "Project Pit Bull" to owners who need to spay or neuter their dogs. You can apply for this program three different ways. If you are qualified then you would only pay a fee of $20. Please click on this link for further information: http://www.operationpets.org/pitbull.php3
Pitbull's make loving and loyal pets. I have the right to say this because I own one. I was like most people
out there that were unsure about Pit's until I decided to adopt one two years ago. These dogs are smart,
loving, affectionate, and good natured. Some of you may not agree with me, but for those people that
don't, all I can say is that you haven't met the right one. I am not going to tell you that Pitbull's are never
dog aggressive, because some are. If they are bred, raised, and trained to be aggressive or "fighting
dogs", then they will be. Not because they are born that way but because they have a strong desire to
please their owner.
In certain states, these Pitbull pup's are deemed vicious at birth. I am glad that the state that I live in is
not one of them.
Ever wondered what happened to the dog's seized from, previous Falcon's quarterback Michael Vick's home? Many of
you may have thought that the dogs had to be put down. In actuality, only two of the dogs were unable to find homes.
One of the dogs was to sick to be adopted and the other dog was so traumatized from his ordeal, that he was unable to let
go of his aggression. On the brighter side, all of the other dogs were either adopted out and found great homes or are
in foster care. One of the dogs Jasmine was so frightened that shelter workers had to build a tent inside her cage so
she could hide. Well let's not forget what he did to these dogs. He slammed one so hard on the concrete floor that it
died and he shot another dog for cowering in a fight. Although these dogs were thought to be the most dangerous
dogs alive, many of them cowered in the corner of their kennels.

Missy is a female 3-4 year old Lab/Amstaff mix dog who weighs around 55 pounds. She came to us as a local stray! We are not lying when we say that this is the nicest, sweetest, most loving, submissive, and friendly dog that you will ever meet. We worry about her because she is very trusting and will go up to any dog (even if they don't like her) or leave with any person she meets. Missy is so submissive that she was attacked by a dog and just laid on her back. This is why she has some scabs on her legs in the 3rd photo. We can tell that she previously had puppies and was not well taken care of because she was very skinny when we first got her. Missy is EXCELLENT with kids of all ages from babies to toddlers to older children. She can tolerate a busy household with lots of kids. She is AMAZING with all dogs and puppies that she meets. She is SUBMISSIVE to them and gets along with both small and large dogs. Missy doesn't understand boundries and will just walk up to a dogs food or water dish to share. She thinks that all dogs are supposed to like her, so her owner needs to protect her in that way. She will plop down on the dogs back or head so we want her with a dog that will be okay with that. We just laugh cause she really doesn't have a clue. Missy is also good with cats, she is honestly good with everything and everyone. If you are laying in bed she will try and kiss you then lay on you. Missy is special in that she is slightly cross eyed and occassionally will bump into things. She is great on and off leash and will not wander off. She is both crate trained and potty trained. Sometimes she will whimper a little in her crate but then settles down quickly. She has had free roam of the house and did very well. She does not chew or get into things. Anyone who adopts Missy will be very lucky!! We wish all of the dogs we have had her personality and love for life. She is up to date on her shots, dewormed, tested negative for heart worms, and will either be spayed prior to adoption or come with a spay certificate. If you are intersted in meeting her please call or text us at 716-208-7747.

Ralphie is a 2 year old male who was found as a stray. The people who found him took him in, took him to the vet where he was given a full physical, shots, tested for FIV/FeLk (both negative), treated for worms and neutered. He is very happy and healthy weighing in at 12 pounds. He is litter box trained and has had no litter box issues. While trying to incorporate Ralphie into their household with cats/dog, he showed immediate aggression toward the other animals. Since no one knows his past, we are unsure why he has the aggression. He is terribly sweet with people, loves to play, is very gentle and loving. Ralphie often falls asleep on their lap. He is comfortable being picked up and held. A little shy of visitors, but he warms up with a little time. He can take medicine (when needed) easily and you can trim his nails with no problem and he loves to be brushed. Unless someone is willing to get to the bottom of his animal aggression, he will need to be be an "only child." He would be perfect for someone who can only have one animal. If interested in Ralphie please call/text 716-308-0101 or email bpckitties@hotmail.com.

When you adopt this animal, you will get a certificate to use for one free office visit, at participating vets, within 10 days of adoption.

Izzy/Baby is a female 1 1/2 year old Little Bitty Pitty Girl who weighs around 30 pounds. This petite girl is very small when you see her in person as compared to other Pit Bulls. Don't let her size fool you, she has a big personality! Izzy is good with children and is willing to give them lots of kisses. She is picky with the dogs that she likes. She is an alpha female with other dogs so we would prefer that she is the only dog in the home. She also needs to live in a home where the yard is fenced in (if in the country please explain your situation). We have not seen Izzy around kitty's so we do not know how she will act around them. She has some fear of men when first meeting them but once she gets to know them she is fine. She is also protective of the backyard and when new people come into the home. She needs a slow introduction and once she realizes that they are welcome then she is good. Izzy is very loyal, obedient, loving, affectionate, and well behaved with her owner. She has LOTS of love to give. She is potty trained and crate trained. For the most part she walks good on the leash but does pull a little at times. Izzy is healthy and at a great weight. She is up to date on her shots, dewormed, and spayed. If you are interested in meeting her please call or text us at 716-208-7747.
