National Pit Bull Awareness Month: Busting Myths and Celebrating the Love of Pit Bulls in McKinney and Frisco, Texas

October is National Pit Bull Awareness Month, and we at Michelle At Your Service, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, want to take a moment to celebrate these incredible dogs. As pet care providers in McKinney, Frisco, Allen, and nearby areas, we’ve had the pleasure of taking care of many pit bulls over the years. And let me tell you—these dogs are some of the most loyal, loving, and misunderstood pups out there.


Let’s Talk About the Myths

If you’ve heard that pit bulls are aggressive or dangerous, you’re not alone—there are so many misconceptions about the breed. But after spending years working with pit bulls as professional pet sitters in McKinney, we’ve learned firsthand that this couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, pit bulls are just like any other dog: they need love, attention, and proper training. It’s not the breed that makes a dog aggressive; it’s the way they’re raised and treated.


We’ve cared for pit bulls who are big lap dogs, eager to snuggle up and shower us with affection. Others have been playful, energetic pups who love their daily walks and a good game of tug. Each one has their own unique personality, and that’s what makes them so special.


Our Experience with Pit Bulls in McKinney

One of the most rewarding parts of our job is getting to know each pet we care for, and pit bulls have truly left an impression on us. One client, “Smokey” is a gentle giant who was shy at first but quickly became a regular favorite. He’s a perfect example of how loving and goofy pit bulls can be once they’re comfortable.


Another pit bull, Sadie never fails to greet us with a wagging tail and endless kisses. She’s a reminder that pit bulls aren’t scary—they’re sweet, loyal companions who deserve a fair chance. Our time with Buddy, Lola, and many other pit bulls has taught us one thing: they are some of the most loving dogs you’ll ever meet.


Why National Pit Bull Awareness Month Matters

National Pit Bull Awareness Month is about more than just celebrating this breed—it’s about breaking down the harmful stereotypes that have affected them for far too long. These myths have led to breed-specific laws, and many pit bulls are unfairly passed over for adoption at local shelters.


Here in McKinney we have an amazing shelter and rescue groups working hard to find loving homes for pit bulls. If you’re considering adding a new member to your family, I encourage you to look beyond the stigma and consider adopting a pit bull. They’re loyal, affectionate, and make fantastic companions.


Caring for Pit Bulls at Michelle At Your Service

When it comes to caring for pit bulls, we know that every dog is unique. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a laid-back senior, our goal is always to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. We provide dog walking and pet sitting services in McKinney, Frisco, Allen, and surrounding areas, and we’re proud to care for pit bulls of all ages and personalities.


We also understand that pit bulls can sometimes face unfair judgment from people who don’t know them. That’s why we work closely with pit bull owners to make sure their dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in our care. Whether we’re taking them on their favorite walk around the neighborhood or playing their favorite game of fetch, we treat every pit bull like family.


Let’s Celebrate Pit Bulls This Month

As National Pit Bull Awareness Month kicks off, let’s spread the word and celebrate the pit bulls we know and love. If you’ve got a pit bull at home, give them an extra treat or snuggle—they deserve it. And if you’re curious about pit bulls and thinking about adopting, we encourage you to visit one of our local shelters in McKinney, Allen, or Frisco. You might just meet your new best friend.


At Michelle At Your Service, we’re proud to support pit bulls and their families, offering pet sitting and dog walking services to help your pets stay happy and healthy. If you ever need pet care for your pit bull, know that we’re here to help—because every dog, no matter the breed, deserves love and care.
