Pit bulls are often misunderstood and labeled as “dangerous” dogs.
These dogs can be incredibly loving and loyal, but they can often fall victim to poor ownership.
One man has taken it upon himself to change the narrative and rescue as many pit bulls as he can.
His ambitious plan involves building a first-of-its-kind, 46-acre sanctuary dedicated solely to these dogs.
Jason Flatt, a resident of Paulding County, Georgia, is the man behind this mission.
He is aware of the number of pit bulls that need homes.
The negative stereotypes associated with these dogs deter people from adopting them, resulting in many pit bulls being abandoned in shelters.
However, Flatt is not one to turn a blind eye to these abandoned dogs.
He is committed to doing everything in his power to help pit bulls that are stuck on what he refers to as “doggy death row”.
His efforts are making a significant difference in these dogs’ lives.
“Everybody assumes these dogs are like these baby killing monsters.”
“Pit bulls have a problem, a big problem, in every major city. Every pound is full of them and there’s not enough rescues to take them,” Flatt shared with WSB-TV.
His home is already filled with kennels for rescued pit bulls, but he has bigger plans in the pipeline.
Many of the pit bulls Flatt has rescued have suffered some form of trauma.
Despite their pasts, Flatt is solely focused on providing them with a safe and loving environment.
“Every one of them has a story. The stories don’t matter. It’s the endings that we look to change,” Flatt said.
With his house already at capacity, Flatt is planning to build a safe haven for these dogs within the next few years.
Most of the pit bulls he rescues have never experienced affection.
Flatt, along with his team of helpers, care for them round the clock, showering them with love and giving them a purpose in life.
The facility he’s planning to build will be a state-of-the-art sanctuary, the first of its kind dedicated to pit bulls.
It will be completed in three years and will have all the amenities a pit bull could dream of.
Each dog will have a 40-ft area that’s equally divided into grass and concrete sections.
Their area will also be half open and half closed, providing the dogs with a variety of options.
The sanctuary will also feature a doggie pool, an indoor play area, and a vet area.
Flatt will work tirelessly to find these dogs new homes.
For those that don’t get adopted, they will have the opportunity to live out their lives with him.
The world needs more people like Jason Flatt, who has dedicated his life to helping these defenseless dogs, often outcast by society.
