Message from the President of It's The Pits
I have some sad news, It is with a VERY HEAVY heart that I must report that our beautiful, loving Frankie passed away in his sleep last night. He arrived late around 7:30 pm and was very sweet but still coming out of anesthesia so he was quiet. He had some pee time, cuddles and laid down on his new soft bed that Kelly bought him. He rested and I checked on him throughout the night. Around 11:00 pm I took him out for a potty break and he drank a TON of water, peed and had some more loving. I offered him wet food and he didn’t want it so I left it for him in case he got hungry. I slept 20 feet away from where he slept and I didn’t hear a thing. He died in his sleep. Obviously this was complications from his neuter, maybe he bled out although I didn’t see any external blood or maybe he had a bad reaction to the anesthesia. I am having a necropsy done to see what happened. I can’t tell you all how devastated we are here. My entire family is crying and we just can’t believe it. He reminded me so very much of my dog Boo who I rescued years ago from LA shelters. I am speechless to express my sadness and I can’t quit thinking we finally got the big guy out and he only lived a few hours in freedom. He had so much love and happiness in him. I am devastated . . . Thank you for all of you who prayed for him and got the word out for him. For those of you who already sent your pledges in for him please tell me how I can return it to you. Thank you all. Please say prayers that Frankie is running and playing as he should be . . . finally.

Military Bases Ban on Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mixes
Thank you for visiting our site. Given the recent news that Camp Pendleton will no longer allow pit bull and pit bull mixes to live on Base, It's the Pits has made a very difficult decision to not adopt to active duty military. We would like to extend an invitation to FOSTER one of our dogs at your home off base, while waiting deployment or transfer. Since our pitties need foster homes, and you want a pittie in your life, Fostering is a win-win combo. You'll have full responsibility of caring for your foster, while all medical costs would be taken care of by the Rescue group. Our doggies need your love and devotion - there's no greater feeling than helping a pittie by giving them a temporary home, while preparing your foster dog for their next assignment - a permanent home. If you have any questions about the Camp Pendleton on base ban, we suggest you speak to your Base Commander. Thank you.
