You can email us at [email protected] as we are not on myspace to respond to emails as much as we would like.Pacific Northwest Pit Bull Rescue was formed in July of 2006 in an effort to support the growing need of rescue, education and adoption of the pit bull breed in the community.
We rescue, foster, rehabilitate and adopt out pit bulls that we believe truly are breed ambassadors. We do not take owner surrenders, all of our dogs come from death row and have faced euthanasia in area shelters.
While we love the breed, we accept that not all pit bulls are good candidates for adoption. It is for that reason we are selective on the dogs that we choose to be a part of our program. Abuse, neglect, and poor breeding/genetics, resulting in health and temperament problems are just some of the things that can be an issue with this breed. There are tens of thousands of pit bulls in need in shelters across the country and beyond, but choosing the best of the best is for the betterment of the breed as a whole and for the community that we live and work in.
We are combating the trouble that faces the breed that we love so much not with the attitude that we can “save them all”, but that we can save the few that can become true ambassadors for the breed and stand beside us as we fight BSL and say “Punish the Deed, Not the Breed!”
We advocate responsible pet ownership for all breeds and strive to provide current and future pit bull owners, as well as the general public with the TRUTH about pit bulls and how we can stop what has truly become an epidemic, BSL (breed specific legislation).
If you love your dog, please be a responsible owner, spay and neuter your pet, educate yourself, then stand up with us and FIGHT for our dogs.
If you love your dog, be a responsible owner, spay and neuter, then stand up and FIGHT

The Top Ten Reasons Why You Can't Trust Vicious Pit Bulls
10. They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting a soda.
9. They will take the treat you give them and bury in the back yard like a paranoid crack head hiding their stash.
8. They will jump on your bed with muddy feet. Making you do laundry...again
7. They will lick visitors with an uncontrolled passion only they understand.
6. They will cause children to smile.
5. They will make you feel horrible for not walking them by looking at you with deep sad eyes.
4. They will look at you like you committed a crime against them if you don't let them lick your ice cream bowl.
3. They will cause wide spread happiness in large group settings.
2. They will crack you up by shaking their butts so hard you think they are going to snap in half.
And the number one reason why you can't trust vicious Pit Bulls...
1. They will steal your heart like a thief in the night, showing you complete and pure love that only a Pit Bull can show.
