Ban on Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mix

Thank you for visiting our site. Given the recent news that Camp Pendleton will no longer allow pit bull and pit bull mixes to live on Base, It's the Pits has made a very difficult decision to not adopt to active duty military. We would like to extend an invitation to FOSTER one of our dogs at your home off base, while waiting deployment or transfer. Since our pitties need foster homes, and you want a pittie in your life, Fostering is a win-win combo. You'll have full responsibility of caring for your foster, while all medical costs would be taken care of by the Rescue group. Our doggies need your love and devotion - there's no greater feeling than helping a pittie by giving them a temporary home, while preparing your foster dog for their next assignment - a permanent home. If you have any questions about the Camp Pendleton on base ban, we suggest you speak to your Base Commander. Thank you.
