How is it determined whether a dog or puppy is a pit mix?
Unfortunately, there is no certain way of finding out the breeds of any of our rescue dogs, because most of them enter shelters as strays with no paperwork. As a result, we rely entirely on shelter staff determinations. We understand these determinations are far from precise, but they are the only information we have. In rare cases, our rescue may decide to make exceptions to our usual adoption fees. This is not typically based on breed factors, but on behavior problems that surface while the dog is in our care. Lowered or waived adoption fees are meant to reflect the additional time and training the dogs will require. Finally, sometimes adoption fees may be raised if a particular dog required extensive vet treatment.
