All you trashy pit bull owners, I’m looking to adopt

I’m not looking to adopt a pit, but it seems like 90% of the dogs up for adoption are some form of pit (American Pit, Pit Bull, etc), and just makes me sad.
Is there a difference between them? We don’t have small kids, but we do have the ruler of the house, a 7 year old, 4 lb Shorky.
I don’t want an adopted dog treat our dog as an instant snack.
I want to adopt an old dog, let it live its remaining years happy, but most of the older dogs are pits.
Puppies get adopted instantly, people over look the old dogs.
The ruler

“Pit bull” isn’t really defined, and everything about dogs is defined by owner.
If you look up all “pit bull” attacks you will find a lot of commonalities…the biggest one is it’s unfixed males/females (shelter dogs will all be fixed) and kept in either small apartments or chained in yard.
Only two of the above photos show what truly would be considered a Pitt Bull.
There are so many “pitt mixes” that will all make great pets. Just don’t keep them confined and used for breeding like the trash does
The only reason I would be hesitant of a shelter “pitt bull” (really American Staff Terrior) is having small kids and not knowing how abusive it’s past was

Incorrect, I’m a photographer.
Back during Covid, I did “school pictures” for my daughters and a few neighborhood kids.
I grabbed one of Paisley (our dog).

I can predict what will happen. You will be so concerned about the Pit Bull blood in whatever mixed mutt you pick that you will select the most docile dog of all your choices.
The little Shorky will continue to rule the house, and bully and boss around the new and much bigger dog. There’s always a tiny chance that the peaceful docile mix will tap into its Pit Bull side and eat the little dog one day, but the odds are less than 10%.

Check with your local rescues. Alot of them have dogs in foster homes waiting to get adopted and have a working knowledge of the dogs behavior.
I guarantee they will help you find a senior as seniors usually don't get adopted and it's unfortunate but some "owners" dump them at shelters when they get old.

Paisley (our dog), even though she’s not even 5 lbs, she is not afraid of any dogs or animals. She doesn’t attack them, she thinks all animals are here to play. We had a 15 lb Tigger cat for a few days (before someone here on the OT adopted her). All Paisley wanted to do is play, even when the cat would swat at her to get away.

American Pit will salute you before it bites you....

Good on you for wanting to do this, but also know in advance the pit is not going to put up with much bullying from the little dog.
Our Yorkie tried to show a pit that had never shown any signs of aggression that he was the boss. Killed him in two seconds.

If they abandoned their dog at the shelter they were probably never that good to it. Just a guess.

That’s just it, Yorkies think they are 50 lb pit bulls.
Granted, Paisley has more of a Shih tzu personality.
