Names for Pit Bull Mixes
August 24, 2012
We know that many ‘pit bulls’ are mixes. So we asked our Facebook fans, ‘Have you come up with a “designer” name for your mix?’ One of our volunteers has an ‘Aussbull.’ Tell us yours.
Whether they are adorabull, lovabull or cuddly-abull, we don’t really care what they are made of because they are all made of love. Thanks everyone for sharing.

Right this moment,I’m awaiting my beautiful Shar-Pit:) I got picked to be the one who loves her and spoils her.YAY!

My Sophie is a purebred, Cornwall Shorthair Terrier. This ancient breed was used in the early days of tin mining in western England and Wales to clear the narrow mineshafts of vermin before the miners would lower themselves into the narrow, often hand dug tunnels. 😉 How our beautiful Sophie came to be running loose on the streets of North Philadelphia must remain a mystery. Fortunately, we were able to return a dog as special as Sophie to her rightful place in society.
