[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got our doggie from Rescue Angels. They were so easy to work with - even let us take him home overnight to make sure he'd get along with our cat before we finalized the adoption. (He and the cat got along just fine. They're awesome brothers now.)

Arlington and Alexandria Animal Welfare Leagues are also both very nice, and you'll find a mix of different kinds of dogs there.

WARL, of course, is amazing.

And WHS does have a lot of pits - I happen to love them, but if you're skittish you're skittish, and their primary goal is matching the right dog with the right family. You can work with their adoption coordinators to find a dog who you think will fit in well with your household. I don't think they'll evangelize to you about getting pitties (though, again, I happen to love those dogs).

Good luck, either way! Hope you'll report back when you have your new pup so we can all ooh and aah over him/her.[/quote]

Skittish?  Perhaps some of us are experienced dog owners of large breeds.  We have dogs in our family for well over a decade.  I'd rather spend those 12-15 years with a lab or GS, etc.   It was only after spending time with several rescued pitbull/mixes who have loving homes and proper care and training that we decided no.  When family has a dog and they can no longer care for them permanently or temporarily it says alot when dog lover relatives refuse to take in the dog.  [/quote]

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. I guess that all the people who love pit bulls and all the research finding that they are not in fact more dangerous than any other breed of dogs know less than you?

IN ANY CASE: I don't give a shit what kind of dog you prefer having. I was trying to say that while Washington Humane has a lot of pits and pit mixes, and while they've done some great advocacy work on behalf of those deeply misunderstood dogs, they also have a lot of other kinds of dogs and the resources to help you find the right one for you.

TL;DR: I don't care what kind of dog you get. Was just trying to point out some good resources, and disabuse folks from the idea that WHS only has pits (though I love pits, myself).[/quote]
