"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)"

"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."
