Understanding the Care and Rehabilitation of Pit Bulls

The video follows the journey of 22 pit bulls rescued from Michael Vick's property as they begin rehabilitation at Dogtown. The dogs, previously exposed to violence and neglect, are assessed and introduced to new routines by a team of caregivers. The video highlights the challenges of working with potentially aggressive dogs and the steps taken to ensure their safety and socialization. The ultimate goal is to prepare the dogs for adoption by passing the K9 Good Citizen test, ensuring they are safe with humans and other dogs. The rigorous screening process aims to find loving homes for the dogs, with Dogtown committed to caring for them if adoption is not possible.
