People are often scared of pit bulls and dogs that belong to bully breeds in general, and they are hesitant when it comes to adopting one.

In fact, statistics indicate that bully breeds tend to take longer to adopt than other breeds.

In New South Wales, in particular, it has been calculated that bully breeds take six days longer to find a home than their non-bully counterparts.

This is because pit bulls are considered “natural predators” and people are afraid of them, especially when they have children at home.

However, this is not an accurate thing to say since pit bulls have not been found to be more aggressive than other breeds.

Also, historically speaking, there are sources from more than five decades ago which explain how good pit bulls can be with children.

“The Stafford we know today quickly becomes a member of the family circle. He loves children and is often referred to as a ‘nursemaid dog,’” an article from 1971 read.

Just like any other dog breed, it is important to train pit bulls so that they know who the members of their family are and, thus, who they are meant to protect.

They should also be trained in order to socialize with other people and animals.

Besides the breed, another factor that discourages people from adopting a dog is the animal’s age.

Adult dogs find it harder to get adopted than puppies, and the reasons are obvious.

Paco the American Staffordshire Terrier is both a bully-breed and an adult dog.

This made it difficult for him to find a forever home, until a family noticed him and was more than happy to take him home.

Paco, who is a rescue dog, had been found by his rescuers in a really bad condition, and he was taken to a local shelter.

Many people passed by his cage over the 270 days he was there, but none of them felt like adopting him.

Thankfully, at some point, a family visited the shelter and they knew right away that he was the dog they wanted to have at home.

So, 300 days after Paco was taken to the shelter, he was adopted by his forever family and went home.

His human dad uploaded a video on TikTok, showing the dog’s reaction when he realized he was finally leaving the shelter to join his forever family at home.

The dog initially has no idea what is going on, but when he smells his dad, he just knows the time has come to go home.

He can’t contain his excitement.

He’s supposed to wait for a second until a staff member brings his collar, but he just can’t control it.

He runs out of the cage and starts a happy dance around his daddy, all the time wagging his tail.

Millions of people have watched this video and they have all loved the dog-human bond that is already starting to develop.

Watch Paco’s reaction when he sees his dad in the video below.
