Dog rescue in Cranford, NJ

- Who We Are -

The Real Pit Bull, Inc (RPB) is a small, volunteer-driven nonprofit corporation located in central NJ. We focus on education of guardians, the public, shelters, etc, and advocacy work (in the form of fighting BSL, speaking on
behalf of Pit Bulls, educating those who work with Pit Bulls, promoting rescue, and fighting abuse).

RPB is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

- Mission Statement -

The Real Pit Bull, Inc. (RPB) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the American Pit Bull Terrier. Our mission is to serve as a breed advocate; rescue dogs in need; and educate those who impact the lives of Pit Bulls.

- Vision -

RPB envisions a future in which the American Pit Bull Terrier is widely recognized as a companion animal and working dog partner; dog fighting is a thing of the past; dog laws focus on deed not breed; and all American Pit Bull Terriers have loving, responsible homes.

- Why Adopt from RPB? -

RPB has been working with the American Pit Bull Terrier for over 15 years. We strive to place the best breed representatives - spokesdogs, as we like to call them - into educated homes. All our dogs go through extensive evaluations in foster homes prior to placement. We provide full support to our adoptive homes - you will never be left to "fend for yourself" once you've adopted a dog from us.
