North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue
For those of you in, or with any ties to, the Southeast, here's a VERY Pitbull friendly rescue to check out. Located just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, (in Harrisburg, N.C) these guys take on all breeds, and mixes thereof, of all ages and sizes. Pitbulls are a first-love of one of the founders and several of the volunteers, so it's hard to throw a disc (LOL, had to add that one!) without having it caught by a sweet Pittie! Since they get dogs, literally, every day, and since some are in foster homes and not yet posted, it's worth an email to them if you are looking for something you don't see. You can also go to petfinder and search by organization, using North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue.

Bama Bully Rescue
Bama Bully Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization located in Alabama that works with shelters and the public in finding homes for Pit Bulls and "Bully breeds" that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, or fallen victim to other situations in their lives. "Bully breeds" helped by BBR may be: American Pit Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Boxers, and some "Bully breed" mixes. BBR strives to educate the public about the true nature of such breeds and encourages responsible ownership by offering training, behavioral and health care advice in hopes to decrease the number of Bullies that would, without such support, be relinquished.
