Our Story

Pitbullinfo.org was started in 2017 - several years after the founder of Pitbullinfo.org, a cybersecurity professional and a huge fan of all dogs, moved to Colorado and was denied from buying a home and living in Denver because of his dog's appearance/breed. Instead of being upset about the inequity and inherently flawed foundation of breed-specific legislation (BSL), which erroneously judges entire populations of dogs based only on their appearance, he decided to take action. Therefore, as a result of the discriminatory BSL that directly impacted his ability to purchase a home and reside in Denver, he took action by:

1. Purchasing a home in a town near Denver that doesn’t arbitrarily discriminate against its citizens and taxpayers because of the dog that they own;
2. Researching the constitutionality of BSL's impact to property rights, due process, housing/real-estate laws, and to other constitutional rights/laws (because this is a complex legal area, the research is still in-progress and pending a legal review);
3. Personally funding and starting Pitbullinfo.org to combat the specific problem of BSL and the larger issue of misinformation about "pitbull-type" dogs in general.

​Our Mission

​Our core mission is to end discrimination against dogs classified as "pitbull-type" dogs in order to promote the responsible ownership of all dogs, regardless of appearance or breed, which ultimately benefits all people, all dogs, and all communities. We publish the majority of our information on our popular website and fast-growing Facebook page. Our advocacy and research is dedicated to:

• The responsible ownership of all dogs - regardless of appearance or breed;
• Promoting effective breed-neutral policies for public safety and dog bite prevention;
• Researching and providing information and statistics based on scientific peer-reviewed studies and from other reliable sources in the veterinary, medical, public safety, canine behavior, and legal fields.
