It's the Pits is such a great rescue! They really go the extra mile for every dog in their care! I adopted 4 years ago and I'm so glad to have found them and in turn, my new furry best friend Loki! (Formerly Rowdy)

Support this rescue by sharing your story

It's The Pits is a 501c3 canine rescue that coordinates the fostering and adoption of dogs that haven't yet found their permanent home. We specialize in American Staffordshire Terriers (Am Staffs), Staffordshire Bull Terriers ("Staffy's"), and American Pit Bull Terriers, but will do our best to help all breeds, often by referral to other local rescues that specialize in that type of dog. You can find many of these on our links page. We are located in San Diego county, as are all of our foster homes. We work alongside our fosters to give the dogs a temporary and loving home before they are placed into permanent homes. We rescue dogs from various shelters, evaluate them, ensure they are healthy, and then match them with the appropriate family. We take pride in matching the best dog for the individual family that contacts us. We do this by matching the activity level of the dog to the family's needs, as well as making sure that the other pets in the home work well with the new addition to the pack.

"It's the Pits does a great job vetting their fosters and adopters to ensure the right fit for all parties. I've adopted 3 wonderful dogs from them and am eternally grateful to them. I've been supporting them since I was 18 year's old and I'm now 37. I highly recommend them to anyone ready to open their heart and home to a pittie or bully mix. They work hard to save lives every single day! It can be an exhausting and thankless job at times. They're an amazing group of volunteers that come together for the wellbeing of dogs in need."
