Well decided to give the pound another try, going to take a drive down today and see if they might have a pup that will fit what I'm allowed to work with here.

I have an american Pitt Bull Terrier it's the same breed If you want more info please visit My website I will soon have pup's aviable But I have vauable Info about the breed It's the best family Dog we've ever owned But please visit my website there is a whole article on the breed http://home.comcast.net/~georgiaboykennels/GeogiaBoyKennels.html

Bad News. Apparently, it'd be easier to join the CIA than to get a dog from the North Shore Animal League. After being called in and out of the office for the 5th time to ask me silly questions or give me useless staff reports. (We're calling your first reference, We're calling your house number, How old are you?, etc.) during which time they wouldn't simply let us sit there and wait to see if they had any further questions (they kept sending us out, then we'd sit for 5 minutes, and they'd call us back in), we decided to call it quits and left.

Luckily, we tried for the pre-approval first to see if they would accept our application before actually setting our sights on a puppy we wanted, or we would have actually been more upset.

Might try other places, but I don't think I'll be going back to North Shore anytime soon.

GeorgiaBoyKennels: They're not the same breed actually... and your site doesn't work, wrong URL maybe?

True_Pits: Thanks so much for all the pictures and info. Very much appreciated.

The agency I adopted from in Georgia didn't give me that much of a hassle. I know and understand all of the strict rules they insist on during the application process, but if you are nice to them, and agree with them wholeheartedly, they will try to work with you and not against you. I kept up with emails and always offered the information they were looking for, as opposed to giving it when they asked.
They practically begged me to adopt this dog.
It seems like a lot of inconvenience, but it's worth it in my opinion - plus they (well, most of them) are really trying to make sure the dog gets placed in a good home.
I went through the PBRC, whose link I have already posted in your topic previously. There are alot of really really nice good-looking dogs. That would be my suggestion, anyways.

I have a staffordshire bull terrier. He gets along very well with other dogs. He lives with Missy, an APBT. She's about 20 pounds heavier than him. They LOVE each other. I take him to our friend's house where there are dogs smaller than him and he does well with them also, no problem. I can't say it would be like this for all staffies, but that is my experience with the one I own. He like all people and all dogs... He is about 40 pounds.
