About Us
“Every Pitbull Deserves a Loving Home in the Concrete Jungle.”
🐾 Our Story
💚 Founded in 2021, we've partnered with organizations like Best Friends Animal Society NYC and Petco Love Lost to help match families with their perfect dog — even though we don’t house dogs ourselves just yet. 🐾
Beyond our partnerships, we are deeply committed to educating the community about responsible pet ownership. From providing resources on training and care to hosting virtual Q&A sessions with experienced pet behaviorists, we aim to ensure every adopted dog transitions smoothly into their new home and thrives with their forever family.
📚 Our History
Pitbulls Are Family, Inc. was founded out of love — and frustration. Love for pit bulls, and frustration with the barriers families face when trying to adopt or keep them. We noticed how pit bulls were disproportionately excluded from housing, denied resources, and unfairly judged. That’s when we decided to take action.
Since our founding, we’ve expanded our outreach to include housing advocacy, legal education, and collaborative campaigns with shelters and grassroots networks. We may be young, but our impact is strong — because our voice is powered by the community.
