(20,043 posts)more than half are because of the regulations not being followed. It's so sad to walk in there. Rows and rows of pits. My daughter rescued one, two years ago this month, he'd been there like 17 months or something ridiculous like that.
Vegas is what she named him for two reasons, it's her favorite city and she says she hit the jackpot with him. He's the sweetest dog. Great temperament, very laid back, great with kids. I love him to death.
She also rescued a female from another place, she's a great dog too. Her name is Denim, she's a blue brindle. She's a sweet thing. Nothing makes her happier than to be able to play with other dogs and kids.
She doesn't live within the city limits so she doesn't have to follow all those 'rules'. She has worked with them and made sure they were socialized with other dogs, first with my dogs (Boxers), then my moms dogs (Chihuahuas). She's had them around people, first with a muzzle until she knew how they'd act, they were rescues, then without.
I've always agreed with you, it's the owners, not the dogs.
That's not to say that some that have been rescued out of bad situations require extra vigilance when around other dogs and people and professional help.
