The Myth About Pit Bulls

The Simon Foundation, Inc. is often misrepresented as a Pit Bull rescue.  In fact, we are an animal rescue that happens to love Pit Bulls.

Pit Bulls are amazing dogs who have gotten a notoriously bad rap in this country.  The information on this page is for you if:

  • You are hesitating to adopt a Pit Bull because of what you've heard about them
  • You have already adopted a Pit Bull, or
  • You know someone with a Pit Bull and want to learn more
We have attached a number of articles to help dispel the myth about Pit Bulls, and also important information you need to know if you are planning to adopt one.  The articles are provided in PDF format so you can easily download and print them at home.

We will be adding more content to this page in the future, so keep checking back for updates.
