The RSPCA is offering free neutering to all owners of Staffordshire bull terriers and other bull breed dogs throughout June.
Rosemary Hosking, from the RSPCA Croydon, Crystal Palace & District Branch, said they will accept any dog regardless of their owner’s income.
She said: “The problem with these types of dogs is getting much worse. I am hearing more and more horror stories.
“The main problem is with young teenage males who can't cope with these dogs and of course it is also the young men who are involved in dog fighting.
“As a branch of volunteers there is not a lot we can do apart from trying to get as many dogs neutered and prevent more unwanted animals being born.
“We want to get as many dogs neutered as possible, both male and female.
“Neutering a boisterous male dog calms him down and makes him easier to live with and of course females no longer come into season and so are protected from accidents.”
For more information call the branch on 020 87719040.
