| Our Mission |
SOME Pit! is an all-volunteer group dedicated to improving the lives of pit bull
type dogs in our community. SOME Pit! works with Southern Maine residents,
rescues, and animal shelters to reduce the suffering of pit bulls through
awareness events, humane education, breed ambassador programs, private
consultations, and training classes.
SOME Pit! believes that responsible dog ownership is one of the keys to changing
the public’s opinion about pit bulls. It is our wish that the public, through exposure
to well behaved pit bull ambassadors, will begin to see the truth about these
amazing dogs.
SOME Pit! is working towards opening people’s hearts and minds to pit bulls in our
community in the hope that the positive image of pit bulls will be restored and
they will once again be treasured family pets.

| Who we are: |
| SOME Pit! was originally created in 2008 and has grown to include a small, but dedicated group of volunteers that organize events and programs. We're lucky to have a supportive community of animal advocates and canine ambassadors, like our pals Tuna and Loki (seen below), that help us spread the good word about living with pit bull type dogs. SOME Pit!’s name was inspired by the famous “SOME PIG” spider web in Charlotte's Web. Just as Charlotte helped to save Wilbur the pig with her miraculous web, it is our hope that SOME PIT will help pit bulls by creating a more understanding and compassionate community. |
