I am getting my pit in a couple days. I name is Lilly. Im getting her from a local animal shelter. She came to the shelter with two other siblings. Her sister was adopted and her and brother are still there. Both her and her brother have physical defects from mistreatment while baby pups. The previous owners threw them away on a major highway trapped in a box.Her brother is missing an ear and Lilly's eye is slanted downward. Lilly is quite tiny for being 5 months old. Both are extremly adorable but I only have room for one. I believe Lilly will make a great companion for me and my family. We have a friendly 8 year old black lab, who I hope will enjoy Lilly's company. I have never owned a pit bull before but I have visited Lilly and her brother for a couple days now. Lilly is extremly friendly and I have heard rumors about pit bulls being so aggresive. I belive it depends on the dog and the owners who raise them. Since Lilly seems to be a little slow, I'm afraid on how I'm going to raise this beautiful pit. If anyone can give me advice, I'd appreciate it dearly.

All I can tell you is how I raised one of mine. One in particular had fighting in his blood line wich is crap to me I dont believe its in their blood but that is what his previous owner said. Anyway both his parents and grand parents were fighters and he was aggressive even at 8 weeks old. The main key thing I can tell you is patience. Raise your dog like you raise your kids lots of love and attention. I raised that particular dog like he was my first child and he really was they are very intelligent and get attached to the family quickly. So lots of patience love and attention should do the pup a lot to grow into a loving family dog. Good luck and I commend you for adopting one from a shelter rather then buying one from a breeder.
