What we’re about
We welcome those who support pits, even if you aren't NYC residents or pit bull owners!
** NYC meetups for Pit bulls / Pit mixes (staffs, rescues, etc) every Saturday or Sunday throughout whole year. **
We meet at various parks and dog runs, dog-friendly restaurants, take walks along rivers and bridges, and through New York City neighborhoods. A great opportunity to socialize your dogs in a welcoming and helpful environment. Options abound for people with dog-aggressive pits who still want to get out and meet people, and get your dog exercise. We hold both on-leash and off-leash meetups, and a variety of events in many boroughs of NYC.
Chance to meet people who love their pits, want to have fun, & want to get rid of ugly untrue stereotypes surrounding the breed. Find tips that will aid in stopping unwanted behaviors, and get advice from other pit bull owners.
There are always adoptable pit bulls listed on our site. If you are interested in adopting or fostering a pit bull, there are so many dogs who need a loving home. Join our group to get info on becoming a foster parent. View tons of adoptable pit bulls that are available TODAY!

This section will contain info about what to do with a found/abandoned dog, or a dog that needs re-homing. You will find resources for contacting rescues / shelters about homeless pits. Access and print out an "Adoption Contract" which enables you to re-home a pit bull safely. Join the group to post the homeless pit bull on our site, and send an urgent plea for help to members.
