 _{^{Then why not become a part of a Great Rescue dedicated to helping this Wonderful breed of dogs! Help them overcome the obstacles in life by giving them a fighting chance through Rescue, Fostering Programs, Education, and Community involvement. There is more to running a successful Pit rescue than just saving dogs from being killed in shelters, assessing their temperament and finding them safe, new loving homes. It takes a team of dedicated individuals who all have different skills to offer to keep things running smoothly. Not all people can offer their home to a Pit in need, but may still want to help save their lives. That’s where YOU come in!}}

This is OSCAR. Please God Let him Find a Loving Place to go...dont let him die like this...

He had a home, but was cast away by his owner to die in the arms of total strangers instead of getting him the vet care he so desperately needed...

A Plea For Oscar:

please help this old man.
