Our mission is to promote responsible dog ownership through education, programming, and assistance. We do this four ways: through Humane Education, Outreach, Advocacy, and Shelter to Service. The American Pit Bull Foundation was created to not simply rescue and take in pit bulls; we take in owners as well. We are just as much human advocates as we are canine advocates. Domestic dogs are dependents and to provide the best life for domesticated animals, we have to understand the role their human-counterparts play. Responsibility and accountability are the backbone of our teachings. It takes a community to solve community problems and we feel very strongly that it is the responsibility of the community as a whole to lend positive impact and influence on tackling the issues that we face together as a society. The American Pit Bull Foundation began as a resource for education to promote responsible dog ownership. Due to pit bull type dogs being the most abused, abandoned and neglected dogs overcrowding our shelters and being euthanized by the hundreds of thousands each year, we chose this population of misunderstood animals to represent our mission. The work of APBF is funneled into four strategic categories: Humane Education, Outreach, Advocacy, and Shelter to Service. We believe that these programs in collaboration with the efforts of other animal welfare organizations, are critical in the advancement of our society as responsible dog owners and compassionate caretakers of sentient beings. APBF does not believe in discrimination - of any sex, religion, non-religion, personal identification, background, race, economical status, OR SPECIES.
