How much does it cost to adopt a Pitbull?
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, which normally covers vaccines, a microchip and spaying or neutering.
Are there Pitbull dogs in general shelters?
Yes. Most purebred dogs given up by their owners end up in general animal shelters, not in breed rescues. Ask the shelters near you and tell them the breed you want.
