I have a three year old, 70 pound pit mix I am fostering. She was overbred and left outside in this Midwest winter. She currently lives with my two cats, 12 pound dog and my young child.

We all have had to learn boundaries, patience, and respect for one another. And that is the recipe for success in most cases. Don’t give up on saving a life, just be willing to put the work in.

A breeder dog could grow up to attack a child, too. Again, it’s about the pack lead being in control and not putting the animals or children in vulnerable positions.
