It’s National Pit Bull Awareness Month! 🐾

As part of National Pit Bull Awareness Month, we wanted to share some important information about Pit Bulls, a “breed” that often gets a bad rap. Pit Bull-type pups like Manny can wait 3 times longer to be adopted, but when properly matched to your family and lifestyle, they could be the loving & loyal companion you’ve been looking for! Read our 5 facts about Pit Bull-type dogs at https://www.arlboston.org/5-facts-about-pit-bull-type-dogs/ 🐾

Interested in adding Manny, or another pittie pup like him to your home? Meet our available adoptables at https://arl.boston/adopt.
