Our Story
Out of the Pits is a 501c3 organization that was founded in 1994, making OOTP the oldest pit bull rescue in the US. We seek to educate the public about the true nature of the American Pit Bull Terrier and to make them aware that they used to be one of America’s favorite breed of dogs. Our efforts are aimed at restoring the breed to its former position of esteem in the hearts and minds of people everywhere.
​
We strongly believe in educating the youth by visiting schools every year with our certified therapy Pit Bulls to teach humane education throughout the New York Capital District. We are also a rescue organization. Since our inception, we have successfully rehomed over 6,000 dogs, and helped many more stay in their homes.
