She definitely at least a little bulldog. Outside of that, she’s just a meatball and we love her.

    Looks more pitbull than bulldog to me, but I’m no expert. I am, however, an internationally recognized expert on cute dogs, and I can absolutely verify this is one.

        She reminds me a little of the stray I took in, who is also part pitbull, I’m pretty sure and part ??? (maybe terrier of some kind?). She is the most-affectionate dog I’ve ever encountered and so spunky for her (presumed on my part) age.

    thank you for adopting, rather than buying. So many cats and dogs are dying and withering away in shelters because no one wants them :(

    Your pupper is gorgeous btw. Give her lots of love. She deserves it <3

      So, like, you’re wrong, but there’s a lot of nuance here.

      1. Pitbulls, if raised well, can be some of the sweetest and most sociable dogs around.
      2. They’re still bred for fighting and violence and no matter how friendly a pitbull is, the owners still need to be very careful around strangers, kids, and unfamiliar dogs.
      3. In the end, humans made pitbulls, and I think that gives us a responsibility to both take care of the pitbulls that exist and also not breed any more. Like a lot of dog breeds, humans have bred them to be miserable or dangerous for petty, dumb and selfish purposes. Maybe the smartest and most compassionate thing to do is to let the breeds expire while making sure the living are as happy, healthy and safe as possible.

    That’s a pitbull and I do wish people would stop adopting them because it just legitimizes the back yard breeders when they can use the rescue system to dump the dogs that didn’t sell.

      I don’t think a backyard breeder would say “well, crap, the shelter can’t take older pitties, guess I won’t breed them.” They’re probably in it for money and clout, and they’ll find a way to get rid of unwanted dogs one way or another.
