[quote=Anonymous][quote]OK this is blunt. I don't want to get a poorly bred pitbull from a back yard breeder with unknown socialization during a critical period of life-ages 7-16 weeks.[/quote]

I am fortunate enough to own a "poorly bred pitbull from a back yard breeder with unknown socialization during a critical period of life-ages 7-16 weeks." Got him from WHS. He loves other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages.

An individual member of any dog breed can be a poor fit for children. The fact that there are more poorly-bred and socialized bullies has to do with idiot humans. WHS (and all of the other good shelters listed here) take great care to evaluate dogs as [u]individuals[/u] and place them accordingly.

To the OP's original question, a lot of the shelters mentioned are great and I would add that you might consider getting a dog that has been fostered for awhile - an animal that's been in a home for awhile is much more likely to show its true personality than one in a stressful shelter environment.
