Sit Pretty Pit Rescue Society

Our Directors are pit bull owners and breed enthusiasts. We are passionate about these dogs! Pit bull type dogs are active, tenacious, endlessly loving, and a wonderful family pet. Their intelligence and eagerness to please makes them excel at a variety of activities, for example: obedience, Rally-O, agility, nose work, disk, fly ball, weight pull, and dock diving. Pit bull type dogs also shine as therapy dogs and service animals. Media and irresponsible ownership have damaged the breeds' reputation, perpetuating a cycle of discrimination and abuse. Pit bulls are overrepresented in the shelter system, and too often face euthanasia due to limited adoption interest and deterioration in the kennel environment.

Sit Pretty Pit Rescue Society is a non profit organization striving to prevent owner relinquishment and euthanasia of pit bull type dogs in the Okanagan Valley through public education, advocacy of responsible ownership, local shelter dog rescue, and support of pit bull guardians in our community.

Rescue FAQs

Sit Pretty Pit serves the Okanagan Valley of BC, with representatives in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton.

Additional adoption info

Adopters must be age 19 or older. Our adoption process begins with an adoption application followed by phone interview and home check before a meet with the adoptable dog. We ask adopters to travel to the dog. If both adopter and rescue representative are happy with the match, we facilitate a trial period to ensure a successful transition prior to finalizing the adoption. Our organization is 100% volunteer run so it can take us a few days to return emails; please don't hesitate to follow up if you don't receive a timely response.
