We are a San Diego bully breed rescue. If you are interested in adopting, fostering, volunteering and/or donating, please visit us at www.itsthepits.org. Thank you for your support!

The Corporation was formed to rescue, care for, and find permanent homes for homeless dogs, particularly those considered to be “Bully Breeds”. This category includes American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, Dogo Argentinos and mixes containing one or more of the aforementioned breeds. While the Corporation focuses on these breeds, we will consider providing assistance to any animal in need at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The specific activities performed by Directors, Officers and Volunteers of the Corporation in furtherance of the mission shall be determined by the President/Chairman of the Board or designee.

It’s The Pits is a 501c3 canine rescue that coordinates the fostering and adoption of dogs that haven’t found their permanent home. We specialize in American Staffordshire Terriers (“Am Staffs”) and American Pit Bull Terriers, but will do our best to help all breeds, often by referral to other local rescues that specialize in that type of dog. You can find many of these on our links page. We are located in San Diego county, as our many of our foster homes that we work with to give the animals a temporary and loving home before they are placed into permanent situations. We rescue dogs from various shelters, evaluate them, ensure they are healthy and match them with the appropriate family. We take pride in finding the correct dog for the families that contact us by matching the activity level of the dog to the family’s needs and making sure that other pets in the family work well with the new addition to the pack. All of this is important in finding forever homes for our rescued pets.
