    I'm looking for myths about shelter dogs and sheltering that you think are beneficial for to debunk volunteers.

    Ex. All pitbulls are aggressive

    If you're able to give sources too that would be super helpful!

    Specifically for any breed-related myths, National Canine Research Council has a lot of fantastic resources. Everything from simple talking points to in-depth research, they're fantastic! https://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/

    When talking about Pit Bulls and other bully breeds specifically, Animal Farm Foundation has a lot of excellent resources. https://www.animalfarmfoundation.org/

    Those two groups are my go-to when talking to people.
