Rescued these two when they were about 3 months old and fell in love with the breed ever since! Maverick will be 4 in January and Mylee just turned 2.

So like the title says what do you think about this. I saw a post today that has a beautiful little female pit that needs knee surgery that will cost close to $4000.. I made this comment. "I don't understand why when shelters are so overly full and low of funds how $4000 can get spent on 1...
