The Polished Pitbull is a breed specific rescue in the Philadelphia area. Our goal is to take temperamentally-sound dogs and find them great homes. We teach our dogs basic obedience skills and have wonderful relationships with trainers throughout the area who can help with any issues such as jumping, counter surfing and leash walking. We need adopters and the public alike to have a better understanding of pitbull and pitbull mix dogs. We are NOT a shelter. If you are thinking of surrendering your pitbull to a shelter and your dog is a people-loving pitbull, please think twice. Every urban shelter in the United States is full of pitbulls; most of them are euthanized due to lack of space. 2000-3000 a DAY are killed in shelter throughout the US. Many will ONLY euthanize pitbulls and are NOT rescue-friendly, so please consider this carefully before you take that final step.
