CFAR is run by generous volunteers who offer their homes to rescued animals. ALL of our funding comes from our own pockets! Donations are greatly appreciated and go directly toward the care of our rescued pets.
Our creed: CFAR strives to rehabilitate and rehome abandoned, abused, and forgotten animals.

How about sharing your home with a pet in need? Fosters house, care for, and love homeless pets until a forever family can be found.
Fostering will dramatically change a shelter animal's quality of life.

Each year, unscroupulous people steal thousands of family pets, while thousands more are deceptively obtained through "Free to Good Home" ads. Sadly, most of these animals are illegally sold for medical research. Don't let your pet become a victim!
DON'T leave companion animals unattended in your yard.It only takes a minute for theives to steal your pet.
DON'T tie your dog outside of restaurants or stores, and never leave your animals unattended in a car.
DON'T allow your dog to be visible from the street.
DON'T use "free to Good Home" newspaper ads to place companion animals.
DON'T place an animal until you interview the prospective adopters, visit their home and check references. Ask about any prior pets, how they would care for an animal, and the name of their Veterinarian.
DON'T place an animal until the adopter has signed an adoption contract reiewed by a humane organization and paid an adoption fee.
DON'T allow prospective adopters to take an animal from your home. Always deliver the animal yourself.
Protect Your Pet From Pet Theft
DO keep your dog indoors, especially when you are not home. Outdoor dogs should be kept safetly behind a locked gate.
DO keep cats strictly indoors. Indoor cats live longer, safer, healthier, and happier lives.
DO provide your pets with collars, I.D. tags and licenses. Speak with your veterinarian about back up forms of identification, including tattooing and microchipping.
DO report suspisious neighborhood activities and/or missing pets to the police and animal control.
DO keep recent photos and written descriptions of your companion animals on hand at all times.
DO spay and neuter your pets. Fixed animals are less likely to stray from home.
DO educate family, friends, and neighbors about pet theft.

So, you want to breed your Pit Bull? If you truly care about those dogs, what follows should change your mind...
Remember this; if ever you produce a litter of Pit Bull puppies and you are lucky enough to miraculously find homes for all of them, it is only because an equal amount of existing dogs GAVE THEIR LIFE to make room for your puppies...
RIP Sweet Babies
STATISTICS
Only 1 in 600 Pit Bulls will find a home - For every Pit Bull placed in a loving home 599 DIE!
PBRC is listing HUNDREDS of homeless Pit Bulls hoping for a chance... PETFINDER "THOUSANDS" of them.... (combine Pit Bulls, AmStaffs and StaffyBull Terriers and you will have over 5000 Pit Bull type dogs listed for adoption in Pet Finder alone.)
Pit Bulls are now the number one bred dog in the United States - Ironically, they are one of the hardest breed to find "good" homes for.
200 Pit Bulls are killed PER DAY in Los Angeles alone because there are not enough homes. Imagine in the rest of the country.
Every homeless Pit Bull that dies in the street and every one who sits hopeless in a shelter is the product of a breeder... either intentionally or accidentally...
75% of shelters nationwide euthanize all Pit Bulls without even trying to adopt them out.
One unspayed female dog, even by conservative calculations, can potentially be responsible for the birth of more than 67,000 dogs in just six years. Remember, Pit Bulls are the most overbred dog in America - think of how it adds up.
Pit Bull often make up to 40% of all dogs found in a shelter. In Kansas City alone, it is not rare to see almost half of the local pounds filled with Pit bulls and pit mixes, all scheduled to be destroyed if not claimed by their owner within 5 days.

A LETTER TO PIT BULL BREEDERS, FROM AN EX PIT BULL BREEDER
I am a volunteer for Missouri Pit Bull Rescue, and see that you plan on breeding your Pit Bull. I can not stress to you enough on how bad a mistake this would be.
I am an ex-breeder myself. I had no idea how much damage breeding my dogs could do for Pit Bulls, not to mention how many serious problems I put my own dogs at risk of developing. I have since learned a great deal, and now dedicate my time trying to educate others about the reasons to never breed, as well as help in the rescue of Pit Bulls in need. Please take my words seriously. I am speaking from experience, and I wish someone would have told me the facts I'm about to share with you.
First, please understand that there are currently more Pit Bulls in the United States than either other breed. The population is currently at epidemic levels, and there is simply not enough homes for them all. Current statistics are that 1 in 600 Pit Bulls will actually find a home. That means 599 Die. 75% of shelters nationwide euthanize all Pit Bulls without even trying to adopt them out.
The above facts hopefully are enough to make you realize how serious a mistake it would be to bring more Pit Bulls into the world, when so many are dying now.
However, consider this, before you even have to worry about placing the pups in safe homes, there are a lot of other obstacles you are going to have to face. First concerning your female. Pregnancy can cause a lot of serious complications that can lead to the death of your dog. Please visit this link that will give you a list of some of the possible and quite frequent problems you are putting your dog as risk for when you breed her.
I ask you to please take notice of these facts. Breeders whether responsible or irresponsible, are one of the main reasons why Pit Bull Rescues exist. We are a group of volunteers, we have full time jobs, families, just as you, but we spend all available time trying to save these dogs, produced by breeders. We simply can't keep up. There are Pit Bulls dying all around us, every minute, because there aren't enough homes for them to go to. I beg you not to bring more into the world.
Even if you don't believe the above horrors would happen to your pups, please think of this; even if you beat the odds, somehow miraculously you have a litter of pups that live, your female develops no complications, and amazingly you find the perfect home for 8-15 pups: For every pup you placed in a home, a Pit Bull was killed in a shelter or died homeless because of YOU!
If you love the breed as much as you must to want to breed, then you can't possibly deny what an injustice it would be to those poor dogs, to bring more into the world now. I hope that you make the right choice, have your dog spayed, and help save the tremendous amount of Pit Bulls already waiting for a home.
I hope that my words are taken seriously, and that you will choose the right path. It is the right decision, one that you can be proud of, your dog will be thankful for, and we will be so very grateful for as well.
Please take a look at just some of the wonderful dogs that are so desperately need a home. The greatest challenge though, will be for you to visit your local animal shelter, and walk past the cages of all the perfectly friendly and healthy Pit Bulls that will be taking their last breath within days.

I wish you luck, and I hope my words have made a difference in your life. I hope the faces of needy deserving Pit Bulls are able to touch you and convince you to never breed your dog. You can be part of the problem, or be part of the solution. Please choose wisely.

Here is just one of the numerous litters of Pit Bull puppies euthanized in the City shelters as there are not enough good homes for those dogs. None of those pups made it out of the shelter alive....
