"Pit Bulls make up an average of 33% of the dogs taken into shelters nationally, but in large cities, the intake of Pit Bulls range from 40-65%. About75% of municipal shelters euthanize Pit Bulls immediately upon intake without them ever having any chance of adoption. Those that are offered for adoption are usually the first chosen for euthanasia when overcrowding forces the shelter's hand and decisions have to be made...a study by the organization Animal People reports a 93% euthanasia rate for Pit Bulls and only 1 in 600 Pits finding a forever home."
