Mission Statement
Pit Bull Rescue San Diego is devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming pit bulls in San Diego area shelters, educating the public on responsible pet ownership, and advocating against the inhumane activity of dogfighting and the unethical practice of backyard breeding.

Plymouths for Pitties
Forget "Cash for Clunkers," donate your car to help dogs in need! PBRSD is excited to announce the launching of its vehicle donation program, otherwise known as "Plymouths for Pitties." And it's not just an old car you can donate. Pretty much any type of vehicle with a pink slip qualifies: motorcycles, jet skis, sailboats, and even that single engine airplane in your backyard that you've been meaning to get rid of (okay, well you probably don't have a plane in your backyard, but we can dream).

Need to rehome your pit?
Unfortunately we do not have the resources to take owner surrenders into our program. We do take back dogs that have been adopted from our program but will do all we can to counsel you in ways to be able to keep your pet in your home. We can list spayed/neutered pets on our courtesy listings page.
Please read about ways that you can continue to care for your pet before making a final decision.
If you still wish to have them listed on our courtesy page, please fill out our courtesy posting form.
