Welcome to PAWFirst!

Saving one animal will not change the world, but for that one animal the world will change forever.

Lucy is a dog of ours that recently found her forever family.

It seems like that is all you hear on the news or read in the paper... trouble..again.. with a 'pit bull'. It also seems like either people hate them or love them. Just the word 'pit bull' can spark a heated debate. We could sit here and explain certain aspects of the breed OR we could send you to the people who specialize in the information and have covered every detail of the breed. Since we do have so much respect for the breed itself...we will point you jadepic in the right direction.

We would like you to know where we stand as a rescue. We DO foster pitbulls. As with all our animals, they must meet certain standards before they are adopted out. ANY animal that you adopt from us will have a loving personality and be accustomed to being a part of a FAMILY. Fostering our animals in our homes (always with other animals and often children) gives us plenty of insight on the foster's temperment. If we discover that the dog needs more specialized guidance or training than we can provide, we will find a reputable breed specific group that can help us.

_{This is Jade. One of our beloved adopted dogs. She now has a wonderful family in Wichita ,KS. She is a perfect representative of her breed and we are very proud of her.}

It seems the trigger that people have with pit bulls is their appearance. They see a certain type of animal and make assumptions.
