What Pit Bulls Need
If you have, or are thinking of adopting, a pit bull, please ensure that you can provide the following:

  • - Plenty of early socialization with dogs and with people, beginning as young as seven weeks of age and continuing into adulthood.

  • - Training, starting with Puppy Kindergarten and progressing through Basic and Advanced Obedience. We highly recommend continued guidance throughout the dog’s life.

  • - Neutering or spaying--there are already too many pit bulls and not enough homes for them.

  • - Lots of daily exercise! Pit bulls are high-energy athletes!

- Honest and constant attention to the behavior of the dog.  Questionable behavior can never be excused, and must be addressed immediately through                               (Recommended reading Diane Jessup's "The Working Pit Bull")   

 

     
     
         

          We have puppies! 7 little ones to be exact. They are 6 weeks old as of 6/13/08.Mom & Dad are wonderfully sweet dogs with great dispositions.

Code Of Ethics for Pit Bull Rescue

Many times we have been asked of the process of selecting the dogs that enter our program, We never sugar coat the process, nor do we make excuses for dogs that we find to be incorrect. There is a code of ethics for Pit Bull Rescuers, a road map, if you will. These ethics are important for many reasons.

Pit Bull Rescue has quickly become a fad in some areas, straying away from guidelines set forth by dedicated seasoned professionals does nothing for this breed but add to the demise of this beautiful animal as much or more as those who we strive so hard to hold accountable to the law for their crimes against them.

Casa Del Toro strives to maintain the course and path set fourth in the Code Of Ethics for Pit bull Rescue,
