Abel, the pit bull mix was surrendered to UPAWS shelter in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. After passing the “SAFER” temperament test, the shelter adopted him to a family. That day, Abel attacked an 18 year old. The victim sustained severe injuries requiring reconstructive surgeries.
Oakland County Animal Control, a TAXPAYER funded shelter in Pontiac, MI, continues to place potentially dangerous dogs up for adoption. Most of the dogs available are pit bulls or pit mixes. See our page Dangerous Shelters and Rescues.
The irresponsible and unethical actions by these shelters/rescues which threaten the safety of families and neighborhoods will only stop when concerned citizens contact their legislators and DEMAND that pit bulls be regulated in the interest of public safety.
