We have shared with you so many stories about our “longtimers” who spent many months at the Sacramento SPCA waiting for their new families. Dogs like Soley, Amy and Daphne, senior dogs with amazing personalities that needed a little extra time before finding the right match.

These dogs had something else in common — they were all Pit Bull mixes.

The Sacramento SPCA is proud to be part of a collaboration between local shelters, rescues and businesses for a Pit Bull advocacy insert that recently appeared in the Sacramento News & Review. Learn more about the breed history, discrimination both the dog and owners face, as well as difficulties in identifying “Is this a Pit Bull?”
