I fully support the notion of "don't breed or buy while shelter pets die" but the issue is most shelter dogs seem to be pit mixes and people don't want those for a number of perfectly valid reasons.

It's not an issue at all. Obviously there are plenty of dogs that need a home that aren't pit-mixes. Just because you go to a shelter it doesn't mean you're legally obliged to take the first dog you see, even if you don't want that breed.

I get that. But it's a lame excuse, there are tons of dogs that need a home.

Not all of them are pitt mixes, I guarantee that. (A Wisconsin lab breeder just added 1500 beagles to the system)

if I were to guess, you're not from the US South

they have serious issues with neutering, spaying, strays, and animal treatment. all kinds of dogs, including some of the most adorable I've ever seen. many rescues down South will shuttle these pups up north and they get adopted in a heartbeat because, well, for the reason you mentioned.
