American Pit Bull Foundation

The American Pit Bull Foundation is a 501(c) nonprofit local to Charlotte, NC. We are dedicated not only to the well-being and advocacy of pit bulls, but their owners as well. We often say "we take in owners as well". We are just as much human advocates as we are canine advocates. Domestic dogs are dependents and to provide the best life for domesticated animals, we have to understand the role their human counterparts play. Responsibility and accountability are the backbone of our teachings. It takes a community to solve community problems and we feel very strongly that it is the responsibility of the community as a whole to lend positive impact and influence on tackling the issues that we face together as a society. The work of APBF is funneled into four strategic categories: Humane Education, Outreach, Advocacy, and Shelter to Service. We believe that these programs in collaboration with the efforts of other animal welfare organizations, are critical in the advancement of our society as responsible dog owners and compassionate caretakers of sentient beings.
