Pit bull looking dogs are being killed all throughout Florida in increasingly larger numbers. In some counties, they are reportedly being killed by the hundreds every day. These dogs are killed based on the way they look not their temperament. This could be happening at your own local animal "shelter" or pound! In Polk County, it has been said that over a hundred pit bulls are killed each day. Apparently, they will not adopt out ANY pit bulls, increasing the number of pit bulls and pit bull looking dogs that get killed.
We shouldn't discriminate against a dog based on how it looks. These are dogs that deserve a chance at life. The fact that so many of them are being killed without a chance is absolutely horrendous. Pit bull discrimination and bans are just not effective!
Polk County Animal Services is allowing organizations such as Mike's Dog House, a dog rescue based out of Palatka, Fl, to rescue bullies from the county shelter. They are working to rescue adoptable dogs from Polk to match them with caring, permanent families. However, rescuing dogs costs money and donations have been low. If you want to support an organization like this, please visit http://mikesdoghouse.org/Fundraising/
