For the Love of Pits® is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization run exclusively by volunteers and funded solely by private donations. We focus our rescue efforts on homeless pit bull dogs.

Our mission is to restore, preserve and protect the prestigious legacy of the American pit bull terrier and to improve the environment in which pit bull dogs and their owners live, by:

-Rescuing dogs that are positive representations of the breeds, training them to be well behaved breed ambassadors and placing them in responsible, safe, loving and devoted forever homes;

-Dispelling damaging myths perpetuated by false, incomplete and deceptive media reporting and educating the public regarding the true characteristics of the breeds;

-Educating the public and dog owners regarding responsible ownership and safe behavior around dogs;

-Providing low cost training classes to owners of pit bull dogs who are otherwise unable to afford training or who merely want to educate themselves and train their dogs in a nonjudgmental, friendly and supportive environment.
