[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my county, rescues are all pit and/or boxer mixes.  I don't want a pit or boxer so why should I feel obligated to rescue?[/quote]

Really - I find that hard to believe.  Any well run shelter will keep up to date posts of their available dogs - so tell us what county you live in because this will be an easy one to prove or disprove.

I live in Pima County.  Of course, "all" is hyperbole.  But at least 90% are - and the others are in high demand, so going in on a Sunday morning is likely not going to get the one you pick for me on the internet.  But thanks for playing.[/quote]

What the heck are you doing on DCUM?

In any case I didn't waste time counting but I'd guess maybe a quarter of the many, many dogs up for adoption have some pit bull in them and most of those are just a mix:

Lots of adorable dogs on there.   Some of which probably originally came from breeders.  And some of which are going to be euthanized.  But keep looking for that perfect dog from folks with financial incentives to lie to you.[/quote]
