Montgomery County (MD) Animal Shelter urgently needs adopters and fosters

Most dog bites -- to children and other dogs-- are by small dogs.

There's a reason pitties are called the "nanny dog." A barkey little sh*t dog has never been called a nanny dog.

We have 5 -- yes 5 -- of those awful dachshunds in our neighborhood (2 families). Noisy, annoying, and they lunge at you when you walk by them.

Just get a mutt. They are the only reliable dogs.

^^Pit bulls and German Sherpherds are the breeds most responsible for biting children and 80%+ of the dogs were not strangers.

It would probably help get the dogs adopted out if they had bios for the dogs. What’s their background, what sort of personality do they have, do they show signs of training, how are they on leash, etc.

Yep time for this myth to go away. A pit bull will “nanny” your child to death happily.

Answer this question:
How many children and adults are killed by “barkey little sh*t dogs” vs your “nanny dogs”?

+1 Haven't heard of a beagle or dachshund holding on with powerful jaws and can't be pulled off victim without being clubbed or shot.

I tired to adopt a dog from them several times. Each time they wanted me to fence my yard, which I told them will cost me thousands of dollars. They didn't budge.

I went out to West Virginia and rescued a dog on site. Arrived at the shelter and was driving home with the dog 2 hours later.

I fenced in my yard a year later, when i could afford to do so.

My wonderful boy is a pittie mix, got him at 4 years old.

I think it’s absolutely fine to require a fenced yard. It’s critical for dog safety.

It’s actually not critical for small dogs who could be picked up by birds of prey or hunted by foxes. They need to be leashed at all times and supervised.

I’ve stalked the site over the years. My observation is that they get other breeds but they go very, very fast.

Because we don’t have a stray dog problem on this country. We have a stray pit problem. It’s amazing that in just a couple of decades pits have totally taken over shelters. This didn’t used to be the case.

Boom. What does the shelter do if no one adopts them? I assume it’s no kill.
