Rescue & Shelter

We do not receive any federal, state, or local government funding. Misunderstood Pit Bull Rescue was created to help the public understand how wonderful our bullie breed dogs are.

DORSET ANIMAL WORKERS GROUP: Rescue workers helping to rehome unwanted pets in the Dorset area, UK.
EAST GALWAY ANIMAL RESCUE: East Galway Animal Rescue (EGAR) has devoted itself to the rescue and re-socialisation of the probably most misunderstood group of dogs; the bull breeds. Initially bred for bull/dog fighting and bear baiting these powerful dogs have always attracted the wrong attention, even to this day. As any dog, they can create havoc if trained for the wrong purpose. Dogfights are still an (illegal) pastime for shady characters and often these dogs are killed in the fight. One major trait in bull breeds is their willingness to fight if trained to do so. But even the dogs with a fighting history display no aggression towards humans; they may be dog aggressive but love their humans, even if they send them into a pit to fight until victory or death.
JUNGLE FRIENDS: Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, located on 12 acres in Gainesville, Florida. Jungle Friends is accredited by the American Sanctuary Association and The Association of Sanctuaries.

GOOD DOG RESCUE, USA: Good Dog Rescue is an all-breed rescue group made up of volunteers all over New England who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up in the South every day, abandoned by irresponsible owners to languish in shelters or starve on the street. Each month, we save dozens of needy Southern dogs and prepare them to be rehomed with new families. To the best of our ability, we evaluate each dog's temperament and suitability for living with children, cats, and other dogs. They all undergo a comprehensive health check, vaccinations and spay/neuter, and those dogs with health problems are treated. The rescued dogs are placed in loving foster homes until they find their very own families. Our goal is to meet the specific needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG RESCUE, UK: German Shepherd Puppies and German Shepherd Dogs rehomed across the UK

Most arrived from abuse or neglect and now live out their lives in peace. Rescue & Investigation: Pasado's Safe Haven has waged numerous prosecutions against animal abusers, winning major convictions. Pasado's Safe Haven offers rewards, through the media, to seek out and prosecute those who have committed heinous acts of animal cruelty. Rescuing animals is only part of the answer - we want to insure that those who hurt animal will never do it again.

Her ancestry was not known for certain except that she was born somewhere in that country. Her destiny was determined by the greed of mankind. And she was just an innocent dog. They called her Laika.
