Folks,
We are looking for ADOPTERS for these dogs. It has become apparent that the good majority of good hearted people out here either think a Police Dept can just swoop in and grab them up, OR on the flip side, those āknow it allsā that think we are absolutely ignorant and ill equipped to be placing them, because we ādonāt knowā what weāre doing. So, I guess itās just best to euthanize them all then. Right?
This rescue is FULL of really smart people. We have to be to do what weāre doing, with dogs who are STILL highly sought after to exploit, and are STILL being discriminated against. Use your heads.
Through the years we have had numerous police officers foster for us. Weāve had just as many associated in law enforcement in one capacity or another, firefighters, first responders, and right now one of our Board Members who has been with us for 10 or more years, works with the Sherrifs Dept.
Weāre not stupid. We are definitely not ill equipped. Are we lacking confidence and a bit unsure? YES!! Why? Because we do not have the one on one experience with these amazing dogs. And to reiterate, never in a million years would we WILLINGLY pull these dogs from a shelter when there are REALLY good, highly experienced breed specific rescues out here. And truth is, if we werenāt a little unsure weād be on the fast track to failing them. And us.
The universe played a joke, and weāre doing the best we can for these DOGS.
Now, back to the original statement, most police departments purchase their working dogs from breeders who have a long history of breeding these dogs to do police work. A very necessary thing. While there is an occasional one off, backyard bred dogs donāt have those qualities, becauseā¦ well, theyāre backyard bred by idiots who donāt know what TF theyāre doing, case in point. This is exactly why and how these dogs ended up HERE. At a Pit Bull rescue, in OHIO, 500 miles from where they were born.
Some of you canāt read either, which is a shame in this day and age, because when we started posting these dogs we were asking for officers, NOT departments, who may have been looking for a personal dog.
We need EXPERIENCED HANDLERS, whether police offices, retired or active, members of law enforcement in other capacities, search and rescue, OR people who currently have, or have had these dogs who KNOW them and what they need to succeed. Just because theyāre not top bred, it doesnāt mean theyāre poodles. They still have specific needs that THESE people are better equipped to handle.
We are šÆ confident in our processing and placing skills we have learned throughout the years. We just need help finding the right people.
We are making exceptions (as has been stated way too many times) on adoption radius, and status of S/N of personal or kept working or retired K9s inside the home, OR those who either show their dogs or are actively working their dogs. We ALSO understand the purpose of this, and arenāt so dumb not to accept it.
These dogs are PETS, and are being adopted out as such. Not purchased. If you adopt one and it turns out to be the perfect other-than-pet, you just got a really good dog for CHEAP, and we will love that for you (and the puppy)!

IF you are one of the aforementioned people and would like to speak to someone PLEASE email [email protected] and she will connect you with the appropriate person.
We have 6 of the 8 puppies left. One is going to a highly experienced family, and the other is going to a prison guard who works K9s at her job. So, weāre doing ok so far. We need 6 more people just like this!! Keep sharing!
