We, at Hope For Pits stand for those dogs who may not be the “easiest” breeds and temperaments to place.

We have built our rescue on one of the most feared, shunned, and MISJUDGED breeds of dog.

There is a reason for that. We DARE to have the dedication, fearlessness, and the STRENGTH of character plus the TRUST in the inherent goodness of the innocent lives we save and rehabilitate.

Though most of our dogs are non-reactive—there are a few that need more work than others—-and guess what?

We rescue pitbulls.

Those hard-work dogs are GOOD 👏🏻 DOGS 👏🏻 TOO 👏🏻.

And they deserve the same chance at life as all the others.

Thank you all for your support and love.

Fosters secured! 🥰

🆘 PUPPY FOSTERS NEEDED! 🆘

Hi friends!!

Adoptions are slow for every rescue right now and that means that little puppies are growing up in foster care 💔

The original foster home for little Sammy (male) and Honey (Female) is unable to keep them any longer and that means we need help immediately.

The 2 puppies can be separated from each other so please let us know if you are able to help!

❤️Hello friends! Please read this important announcement ❤️

We at HopeForPits have decided that we need to temporarily cease intake of all forms while we work on an internal renovation.

As a young rescue, we have tried our best to help every dog or puppy presented to us—because trust us when we say—it is extremely difficult to say NO. But unfortunately, we have had to learn from experience that it is simply not possible to keep saying yes.

Intake clarification regarding the Parvo situation:

19 puppies were taken from one location and 8 puppies plus their mama from another. The stray mama and her 8 came with a foster already in-place who had reached out asking for our support.

The 19:
We experienced parvo immediately UPON INTAKE with 7 of our 19 puppies (the 7 had been separated from the other 12 in that person’s house) and despite ours and our vets’ best efforts, we lost Loki, Bessie, Biggie and Smalls. Our hearts are incredibly broken but this has also opened our eyes that we have taken on too much as a young rescue and it’s time to pull back.

We cannot in good faith continue to intake dogs when it could possibly compromise the care of those we are already committed to and we refuse to provide anything but the best for our dogs.

We are planning to expand our administrative department prior to re-opening our doors in an effort to ensure a faster response time to better meet the needs of our fosters and adopters.

We truly apologize for our shortcomings and we know that some people have been disappointed along the way as we have worked on developing our best practices.

When you run a non-profit dog rescue—emotions run high. Regardless of whether you have been established for 3 years or 30–there will always be criticism. Some of that will be unfounded and accusatory and some will be constructive. What we want to stress is that we are committed to each and every life we save and we do RIGHT by these dogs. Building this rescue has been a long hard road and we have been far from perfect but every decision we have ever made has been with the best interests of our dogs in mind.

We also want to say that we are THANKFUL for every single person who supports our rescue.

We assure everyone this is not the end of Hope for Pits, it is simply us taking a step back so we can focus on finding forever homes for the current dogs in our care as well as re-evaluate and re-vamp our processes and procedures. We need to do this so that we can come back stronger and be the best rescue going forward.
