Adopt a American Pit Bull Terrier in Tennessee

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.

Tennessee has a large rescue dog population, particularly in rural counties outside Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The state is a major source for transport networks across the country. A rescued Tennessee dog often comes from a high-need shelter where alternatives are limited.
