A couple of pit bulls had a new lease of life after being rescued from two shelters, now they are k9 dogs from the Clay County Sheriff’s office in North Carolina, the officers are very proud that they are rescued dogs and above all of this breed, as there have always been negative stereotypes about them, but the truth is that they have great potential.

The department wrote online:

“What will be most shocking to some is not that the Clay County Sheriff has two new K9 dogs, but rather their breed. Although pit bulls get a bad rap in the media, they are not bad dogs and can do great things for the communities they serve.

The two new heroes are named Sarah and Phantom.

Before graduating from a training course with their new human partners, these dogs were only part of the large number of pit bulls left to fend for themselves in shelters. Fortunately, they now have a new purpose.

Phantom was part of a shelter in Texas and was rescued by UniversalK9, a group that is in charge of rescuing and training the puppies for their use in compliance with the law. On the other hand, Sarah was in a shelter in New York, and got a second chance at life thanks to the Animal Farm Foundation.

Cops Are Proud Their K9 Dogs Are Rescued Pit Bulls

“The two foundations have taken on a mission to demonstrate that departments do not need to spend between $ 15 and $ 20,000 for a purebred German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois to search for and find illegal drugs, while also giving the dogs destined for a life in a refuge or to be euthanized a second chance at life that serves law enforcement officers and departments across the country.

For Brad Croft, director of operations at UniversalK9, seeing how this pair of dogs leave their sad past behind to start a new life thanks to their new career makes it all worthwhile.

Brad Croft dijo a The Dodo:

“As always, I am proud to be able to help find productive jobs for these dogs and at the same time provide them with a new home. I visit shelters often and pit bulls fill them up, the more I can save these dogs, the more I can save. It’s really a win, win, win for the dogs, the police and the taxpayers.
