Shanna Zeigler, LVT Discussing Pit Bulls

Due to the Louisa County Police Dog that was killed, we are trying to educate the public about Pit Bulls.  Here is what I put on our Facebook page along with the link to the ASPCA page about Pit Bulls:  "The death of a police dog is a tragedy and our prayers are with the officer and his family at this time of loss. As animal professionals we take every opportunity to educate the community about responsible dog ownership. Here is further information about this misunderstoon breed: http://www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/dog-fighting/ten-tips-for-adopting-a-pit-bull.aspx
