Can you adopt or foster children if you have a friendly pit bull or pit bulls?
My fiancee and I got to talking about the possibility of fostering and/or adopting children in the distant future, and wondered if it would be possible.
We have a very sweet rescue pit mix, who is a little shy with adults, but nice, and just adores children. We hope to adopt and/or foster another dog as soon as we find the right house. We've both worked with dogs and refuse to discriminate based on breed, so it's likely if we get a rescue it will be a mixed breed with some pit. Whatever dog we get or foster will also be friendly with people, and children.
Would we still be able to foster or adopt children with friendly pits or pit mixes?

Yes. Your pets will be evaluated in the same manner you are.

That depends on the adoption agency. Some may consider the type of dog you have but everything will be evaluated by the agency to see if you are qualified to adopt or foster.

Why don't you crusade for anti-species discrimination pet laws in adoption? Just look at all of the youtube vids of all of the friendly lions, tigers, bears, wolves, wolverines, skunks, hawks, poisonous snakes, black widow spiders, scorpions and porcupines. They are all totally fine around children. Seems obvious.

Let's hope not.

Ask the agencies. I don't see why it would be a problem. They're great family dogs.
