Adopt a American Pit Bull Terrier in New Mexico

American Pit Bull Terriers are loving, people-oriented dogs that have long suffered from misunderstanding. They're the most common breed in U.S. shelters and rescue networks. Well-socialized American Pit Bulls are renowned for their devotion to family and their playful, goofy personalities.

New Mexico has a large rescue dog population, with active organizations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. Rural and border-region shelters add significantly to the population. A rescued New Mexico dog often comes from a high-need shelter in a state with limited rural infrastructure.
