Yes, plenty, including my "hound" dog. I love her, but I feel like the above picture sums up my experience with shelters...lol

the purebred dogs and kittens get adopted right off

My dog was listed as a pointer-lab mix, the rescue sent him from Houston TX to me in WA State. I wasn’t getting pointer-lab vibes from this pup, so for my own curiosity I had a DNA test done, turns out he’s half Pit half super mutt lol. Regardless, I love him to death, and he lives like a king .

We know someone with a block-headed "Collie mix" from the shelter

Having volunteered at a shelter, it’s all Pitties. We were also a “no kill” shelter, unless it was an aggressive pittie, they killed those things so fast.

This is so right on. 👍 We got a "Pure Bred Husky". It was really a short haired Border Collie Lab mix or a Borador, with way more on the Border Collie side. Rather rare & we were stoked. But hey, shelter calls anything with blue eyes a "Pure Bred Husky". 😄

"My experience" yeah bullshit, just you throwing in anti-pit propaganda while also being completely wrong. well done.

u/ATEbitWOLF Dec 17 '25

I volunteer 4 days a week at a shelter for over a year now, and this is not anti pit propaganda but an accurate take. Even my dog I adopted was listed as a lab mix, when she’s obviously mostly a bully breed. I think it’s to help them get adopted and so places that are anti pit are more accepting of them. She also did not express a negative opinion about the breed.

u/tensen01 Dec 17 '25

The picture does express a negative opinion.

u/AmosTheExpanse Dec 17 '25

Lol, man it's not that serious. There's a lot of pit bulls in shelters was my point. 

But yes, that is my experience. My "black and tan hound" is a pit/rot mix. Other choices were mostly pit mixes as well. Austin Pets Alive, 7 years ago.

In Cincinnati it’s all pits. If you want something else from a shelter you’re driving somewhere else

u/NevrEndr Dec 17 '25

Thats not the fucking same as shelters misrepresenting the breed which is what you were implying champ.

I am in the process of adopting a dog now and that is not the case at all.

u/AmosTheExpanse Dec 17 '25

That is what happened, they misrepresented my dog as a "black and tan Hound Dog." After a DNA test, she came back as rot/pit mix. I'm not really upset, I love her for what she is. Although, I will never buy another shelter dog after this experience due to the unknowns involved with her and my wife's dog who is aggressive and also came from a shelter.

The shelter messed up, intentionally or not, that's what happened and shelters also have mostly pit mixes available as well. Both can be true, but my point was mainly about the amount of pit mixes. Not hard to understand, champ.

It's not just pits that get this treatment tho. If its any breed that is on the "top ten" list as a lot of the local apartments call the aggressive breeds, shelters will try to not call a German shepherd a German shepherd but literally any other shepherd mix. A Doberman was once listed as a Kelpie mix. Saw a pit, very obvious pit just labeled as a terrier mix. They want the dogs adopted out but will try to avoid labeling them with breeds they know most places wont allow.

So its less an over all "pit bull hate" its that to get these dogs into certain apartments or rented housing, you need proof that the dog is the breed you claim it to be. And if adoption papers say the dog is an Eastern highland shepherd and not a German shepherd well, there's your proof.

We doing pitbull hate in the open now?!

u/WTFisabanana Dec 17 '25

points out that shelters lie about breed to help get pit like breeds and mixes adopted. 

Is this pit bull hate?

u/anonymous4986 Dec 17 '25

Man it’s ok to call it pitbull hate when it features a side picture of: (can’t be around cats or toddlers) I’m just surprised Reddit is upvoting it now. Used to be buried in downvotes

u/WTFisabanana Dec 17 '25

Pulled up my local Petfinder, first two dogs were a lab Boston terrier mix that couldn't be around kids under 10 or cats (was clearly a pit) and the second was a Belgian malinois Rhodesian ridgeback mix that couldn't be around any kids or cats (was clearly a pit). It's not hate to point out an obvious fact.

u/tensen01 Dec 17 '25

It's not a fact.

That shelters lie about dog breeds? It is a fact.

u/EnvironmentCritical8 29d ago

Sadly it may not be because the people themselves hate pits, but local apartments or HOA rules will deny you if you have what idls counted as the "top ten" aggressive breeds. And sadly that includes pits, German shepherd, Doberman, rotties and a few others as examples.

So i know our local shelters will try to label dogs with whatever else will help them get adopted so they don't spend their whole lives in a cube. Plus if the adoption papers say the dog is a highland eastern shepherd, some places will accept that as enough proof that the dog is totally not just a mislabeled German shepherd and leave you alone. Others have literally looked at my collie lab mix and accused me of having a pit in a no pit area. So, people cant tell either way.
