The Lone Star State Pit Bull Club does not and has never had a club-affiliated rescue organization.
We are available for educational programs, but we do not intake or adopt out animals, nor do we accept liability for the organizations listed at lsspbc.com. For assistance in placing a dog, please see the rescue list below. If you would like to share your life with an APBT, please consider one of the thousands of homeless dogs who are in shelters. Adult APBTs are particularly difficult to find homes for, but they bond to their new owners quickly. Many times they are already housebroken, and you know the size and temperament you are going to get.
If your APBT is not a working or show-quality dog, he or she should be spayed or neutered. It does not have to be expensive! Here’s how:
- Metroplex Animal Coalition maintains a list of low-cost clinics.
- Spay/Neuter Network is in Crandall, Fort Worth and Dallas.
- TCAP is in many locations all over the DFW area.
- Request a SNYP coupon. You will receive a low-cost coupon and a list of veterinarians who take the coupon (there is at least one near every major city in the Metroplex).
Please see these Texas rescue sites, and remember them in your charitable giving:

I have made every effort to locate as many rescue organizations that I can. I do not know if all will take American Pit Bull Terriers. I know that most will only take a dog if they have room, so you may need to wait and call back at a later time in order to place an animal. If you have a mixed breed or indeterminate “pit bull” it may be better to call the dog the “other” breed in order to place the dog. Please make sure the dog is friendly to people and preferably spayed or neutered. These things will surely help in placing the animal. If you find out that any of the organizations listed below will not take a APBT, please let me know so I can take them off this list. I also would like any feedback on placing the dog.
We are NOT affliated with any of the below rescue organizations. Please do due diligence when surrendering a dog, adopting a dog, or donating money.
