ASG on “Pit Boss”
Animal Specialty Group was called upon by Shorty’s crew to help a pit bull in desperate need of surgery. Our top-notch surgery team, led by our very own Dr. Kirk Wendelburg, spent hours working on Patti’s damaged leg, doing everything in their power to avoid having to amputate… For the full episode, or to catch the terrific series, tune into Animal Planet.
PIT BOSS UPDATE: For those who watched the episode and are curious about what became of Patti – the loving pit bull ASG operated on – we thought you’d like to know she’s fully recovered after months of rehabilitation therapy with our very own Dr. Bak, doing incredibly well, and was adopted by our very own Paloma, here at ASG. Which means, Patti is now a permanent resident around here.
We’d call that a VERY happy ending ![]()

About Animal Planet’s “Pit Boss”…
Former actor, entertainment guru and pit bull rescuer Shorty Rossi has lofty ideals, a tough attitude and an entertainment industry Rolodex to help his cause. And he’s gathered together three friends/employees; Ronald, Ashley and Sebastian, to take on the gargantuan task of rescuing, rehabbing and training the most misunderstood of dogs – pit bulls. Pit Boss follows the everyday drama and joy of these buddies and business partners as they hit the streets of Los Angeles in their fight to overcome stereotypes — for themselves and the pit bulls they save.
