Shelter aims to change people’s minds about pit bulls

HUNTLEY – Four-year-old Midnight doesn’t fit stereotypes often associated with pit bulls.

“He was really shy,” Bosshart said. “The shelter worked really hard to rehabilitate him, and he’s been doing really well. He really came out of his shell.”
