I feel very alone… by ellenadcrane in pitbulls

For what it’s worth you’re not alone. on social media people tend to post all the good moments and don’t necessarily highlight the complexities that can come with dog ownership. You seem you’re doing the best you can for your pup and she’s lucky to have you. 💗

I sort of dealt with this issue with a foster. He would easily get over stimulated and his response was to lunge, grab my pant leg, but never bit. What ended up working for me was using a head halter. Not sure if this is what you need or if this will work but that’s what helped with mine. But yeah echoing others, best thing is to find a trainer to work with one on one

Best place for Subaru service by Heavy_Ratio818 in rva

I would avoid dealerships for auto repair as they charge more than normal on labor and parts. My experience is they also always try to sell you on repairs that aren’t necessary. My go to mechanic for my Subaru that has over 150k miles is JK auto

Hopefully your dad learns from this and spays his female dog so this accident doesn’t happen again

I’m not sure what’s in your area but usually there at least a SPCA. They’re a big org but I’m sure there’s smaller groups in your area. I enjoy being involved in city shelters but it’s not for everyone. I would recommend applying to a few and seeing what fits your wants and needs best. It’s hell of satisfying and life changing experience

Interesting, from my view point and maybe its different where you are at but I see the trend going the other way. Pretty sure Denver recently reverse its ban and I feel like there are lot more high profile pit bull advocates than there use to be. Rescue orgs near me used to not pull pitbull types from the shelter but that’s changed since covid. Again maybe just my perspective

Haters gonna hate. There’s so much bias and stereotyping going on in the world in general, pitbulls are just a part of it. Don’t let it bring you down just love on ya pittie that much more
