I hope that you have more interest than I did. I have rescued a pit bull mix and have found no rescue agencies or shelters willing to take her, in VA, PA or MD. Generally, if you find or even think of helping a pit bull or pit bull mix dog you are pretty much on your own. I have emailed all of the pit bull rescue organizations and have heard back from only one, tias promise. Maria has helped me to "potentially place" the pitmix that I rescued. It breaks my heart that good dogs, such as the one that I rescued, don't have any options available to them, and this currently introduced legislation just reinforces the fallicy that its the dog, not the owner or the way that it was raised. It kills me to think that now I will question rescuing a dog because I know that there are no options to help me protect those that can not protect themselves.
In addition, BARC , the SPCA and Animal Rescue were not in the least bit helpful due to the "pitbull" insurance issues and other "prejudicial" dog breed issues. THIS IS A CRIME! The dog that I chose to help is sweet and deserves to be adopted.
Best wishes to you on this quest, I hope that the welfare of the animal ends up being what is most important. The dog fighting culture in Baltimore will continue to offer up more victims than we will be able to support. As a community and a city, we must prepare to intervene and to provide assistance to many more dogs in the same plight.
Please, help!

p.s. animal control already called. take up to 3 days for someone tocome out. 1,000 calls ahead of ours.That is very sad and disturbing. All this talk of new pit bull targetedlegislation and Animal Control is not funded enough now to enforcethe laws we already have.There's some resources for PitBull rescue listed on this page.http://www.pbrc.net/rewards.htmlYou might also try getting some help from Recycled LoveContact Email
