Tilbury Pit Bulls 'Ruffin' It' In Florida

Eighteen pit bulls that were safely delivered to a rescue and training facility in Florida are said to be progressing well.

The dogs were seized from an alleged dog fighting ring near Tilbury in 2015.

Aimee Sadler, founder of "Dogs Playing For Life", says some are adjusting better than others, but she'll have a better idea of how they'll do in the future at the end of the year.

Sadler says only one of the dogs is currently considered social while the others are still either selective, defensive, or offensive.

The pit bulls arrived in August and are scheduled to be at "Dogs Playing For Life" in Jacksonville until at least January.
