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.
