text: In 2003, I found a gorgeous red-nosed Pittie boy at Anchorage Animal Care and Control and adopted him. That dog changed me forever; he was the dog of a lifetime. After a couple of years, we added a Jack Russell puppy girl to our household. After my ❤️ boy left too soon, I adopted a senior Pit Bull, who was followed by a supposed Lab/Pit mix (until I got his DNA test showing him to be a Sharpei-Cocker Spaniel-Staffie-Malamute mix!). I found a Pittie girl on the street one summer night a few years ago, and she joined our pack. I'll always be a Pittie person; they need adopters and advocates. My shortie JRT has become my ❤️ girl; love the little scruffies, too! Adopt—don't shop!!
