So beautiful.

Such a beautiful dog praying someone comes and gets the all

Such a beautiful baby

I love Harvey! He's a big love bug.💖

I would love to pay his adoption fee if someone could give this old fella a good home.....

I would but I have a dog who doesn't like other dogs. I pray they get a furever home soon!!

If it's in such dire need...waive the fee for people.

So cute!

Katelyn Rae Northcutt

We are in our 50's and no small children in our house. However, we have a pack of 8 dogs and live in the country. How would Harvey do with other large dogs?

He looks like an older fellow? ??

Will the animals left at Hope when it closes be moved to the K&K shelter?

Can you make this public so we can all share?

That's awesome

Thank you

What a beautiful, happy baby!! AWESOME!!

How sweet!

So happy for you both I resently adopted a pittie mix and love him to death he is a great dog so grateful and funny.

I wish we had room for more. We have dachshund, a chihuahua, and a pit mix. Our pit is the most lovable(and hyper). They really are great companions.

So precious and I am so happy he got his forever home!👍😊❤️

Why is he not fixed?

If I didn't have a full time 12 hour shift night job I would have been there to help. Glad it's worked out so well and thank you for helping the fur babies. 💕

Bless each and every one of you for such amazing efforts to save the lives of these babies.

Thank you for doing so much to save these babies. Any idea how many left who don’t have transport? We are all trying so hard to find them homes.

Thank you all.

GREAT JOB HOPE👌👌

You're awesome!!

Thank you to all involved in helping these babies!!!

Bless their little ♥️

Good luck little baby to your new home

Great job guys. We are almost there!!😊

Summit county animal shelter in Colorado is smaller, but they have always had pits. Do you know if you have reached out to them?

I cant believe you are closing. You do amazing work.

How r the transports working now? We provide everything?

About how much does it cost to transport each dog?

Why don’t someone get a hold of pit bulls and porolies the would take the pits

Pretty baby!!

I hate to read so many negative comments about the pits!!! My grandson has adopted 2 from Hope and they are fantastic pets! One was a pup but the other was older and had been there something like a year or two!! He’s the best!

Kyle Upton

That dog is so sweet I'm sure it's been abused around other animals or even a bate dog it's not that babies fault I've seen other animals do turn around it could be just it's going kennel crazy

Doesn't get along with other dogs... yes, that's what they were bred to do. Hate other dogs. Maul them to death. Excellent pets those bloodsport dogs are... turning neighborhoods into war zones so you can protect your no kill status and keep donations rolling in.

When is hope closing I haven’t been able to make it down yet

Vicente Martinez

It's the owners that make the animal bad...Any dog cat horse can hurt someone.. just like people..if they are treated bad they turn bad...people never post anything on other kinds of dogs.. Rottweilers Dobermans they went through this to...it all comes down to how your treated .. sometimes a dog is defending their family just like a human would do..

Pretty baby!

Another dangerous serial mUler being pawned off on some unsuspecting ring person. Wonder how long it will take for it to RIP someone's face off.

I've sent in my application y'all can't he in need of fosters or adoptees too bad or I'd received a call a text even an email. Starting to question intentions

As everyone can probably tell I was the person who originally made this post. I have worked at Hope for a total of 18 months. In that time I have come in contact with dogs of all different breeds. Pits being the number 1 cause let's face it folks, people get them and don't understand the time you need to put into them. In all my time at Hope I have been bitten 3 times. Never by any of our pits. Honestly each time it has been by a small dog, like a Chihuahua. Not saying that it couldn't happen with a large dog but it has not. You may ask me, would I take this dog home with me if I could? Yes, I would. Would I allow my 4 year old to be with her unsupervised? No I would not and I wouldn't with any dog that I ever have because I know that ANY dog could potintanly bite. Any responsible pet owner knows that when you accept a pet into your home you are taking that animals life into your hands. With love, and most importantly training that animal will become whatever YOU make them to be.

Ohh I see the Anti Pit party has once again shown up to spew hate and do lots of copy and pasting. I have asked on several occasions if your group of people are just keyboard warriors or actually show up to places and protest? I’ve also asked you to let me know when and where your next event was if it’s not behind the keyboard, and I have yet to receive a response. Still waiting 😉

Pit bulls have been bred for violent blood sports with a deadly bite. They are not safe or appropriate pets and should never be considered as such. Dr. Michael S. Golinko, who completed the largest dog bite study to date, states pit bulls are a danger to children:http://nationalpitbullvictimawareness.org/expert-opinions/ Words from a dog trainer of 26 years, "Nobody, not a professional, not an expert in the breed, not an owner, NOBODY, can look at a pit bull and tell which one will grow up to be okay, and which one will not." blog.dogsbite.org/.../experienced-dog-trainer... PEOPLE WAKE-UP AND LISTEN TO THE MEDICAL EXPERTS NOT TO NAIVE PIT BULL OWNERS! 11 Medical peer-reviewed studies that prove pit bull type-dogs are dangerous as pets. Level 1 trauma center dog bite studies from all geographical regions in the U.S. are reporting a higher prevalence of pit bull type dogs injuries than all other breeds of dogs. In many cases, the studies (2009 to 2016) also report that pit bull injuries have a higher severity of injury and require a greater number of operative interventions. blog.dogsbite.org/.../table-retrospective-level-1... Pit bulls have been bred for centuries to kill. They are the #1 canine killer of people, pets and livestock. They have a genetically inbred trait for unpredictable explosive aggression that cannot ever be trained out of them. They were bred to be lethal and they are every day

So what happens when that pit bull is outside with a child and another dog walks by. As a rescue I’m sure you’re well aware of how often these dogs redirect if they can’t get to their intended target. Why would anyone put a child in danger with this dog. daxtonsfriends.com

Right, only pit bulls are abused. So why are they adopting them out if they know they’ll attack. Just like this one. It’s every day with pits. flaglerlive.com/137564/pit-bull-attack-deputy/

The ASPCA has no obligation to share safety issues about pit bulls with the public. On their "Pit Bull Information" web page, they write: "Sadly, pit bulls have acquired a reputation as unpredictable, dangerous, and vicious." Yet, spelled out in the ASPCA Shelter Guidelines -- designed to protect shelter workers -- are the unique risks attributed to pit bulls. One of them is that they "attack without warning," which is equivalent to unpredictable behavior. There are many guidelines presented in the 19-page document (which appears to be a PowerPoint slide show), as well as a brief history of the pit bull and the results of selective breeding to achieve the "ultimate canine warrior" designation. Some of these results directly correlate to the safety guidelines, such as the pit bull's genetic "unpredictability" (specifically when attacking), dog-aggression and high prey drive. We've listed a few of the guidelines below: There are "cases of experienced handlers who had developed good relationships with the dogs over a period of months still being attacked without warning or obvious provocation." Pit bulls "ignore signs of submission from other dogs" and "give no warning prior to attack." They add that this is "different than normal dog behavior." "Today’s pit bulls" have multiple names including: "Staffordshire Terrier (AKC 1936), American Staffordshire Terrier (AKC 1972, Am Staff), American Pit Bull Terrier or Pit Bull Terrier." "These dogs can be aggressive towards humans and more likely to cause fatal attacks to people than other fighting type dogs." "Pit bulls will climb fences, chew up stainless steel food and water bowls, destroy copper tubing of automatic water systems and conventional cages, and attack other animals through chain link fences." "Pit bulls can break through conventional cage doors and destroy typical epoxy paint on the floors and walls." "Pit bulls require special housing considerations" and "isolation from other animals if dog aggressive or have a high prey drive." "Install a panic button in rooms housing pit bulls along with other restraint equipment in any room housing pit bulls." It seems unlikely that the ASPCA or shelters participating in the "Adopt-A-Bull Contest" will tell potential adopters to install a panic button in their home or that pit bulls attack without warning. www.dogsbite.org/…/2005-care-of-pit-bulls-in-shelte…A PIT BULL EDUCATION:
