THIS SITE DOES NOT CONDONE ANIMAL FIGHTING OF ANY KIND!

I started this web site after I became involved with a couple of rescue groups.  Those groups have changed my life forever.   My next awakening came when my son Ben adopted a pit bull mix named Remo. I was terrified of him at first then I fell in love with him.  Next thing I knew, we had 3, Remo, Brixton, then  Brix's Brother, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, (hey he ate a beer can at age 4 months). We ended up rescuing Brown from the pound and affectionately call him Brown Dog, who now lives with me and my two 15 year old rescued black lab mixed girls and four rescued cats, Misha, Thunder Paws, Rocky and Luna.  

With three Pits in the family I realized I needed to educate myself as I was petrified of the breed and becoming the owner of a Pit Bull has many responsibilities, both legally, socially and in raising a healthy, well mannered, socially safe animal.  I was embarrassed to realize that my fear was born out of ignorance of the breed and all the negative press I had read.  Only after I researched the breed, read and learned everything I could, did I come to realize, it is man that is evil and dangerous in the cruel ways they use these bright, loyal animals, NOT the breed. It is also, not just the way the animal is raised but the inherent temperament of the dog, which doesn't necessarily show up until some time later.  

Sad to say that the inherent temperament showing to an inexperienced owner can be disastrous at best, especially if the dog in questions is human aggressive, dog aggressive or small prey aggressive.  This "showing up" will usually be in the form of attaching a person or another animal.  We all know where that leads!  Especially with the biased and generally irresponsible reporting of our breed in the media!

A RESCUERS CREED

Borrower from  Tail Waggers USA

I shall be a believer of all that is good in man and of all that is deserving in animals.
I shall plead for their lives, campaign for their safety and uphold their right to a natural death.
I shall seek out the injured and the maimed, the unloved, and the abandoned and tend to them in their last days.
I shall not forget their place in the hierarchy of life, nor that we walk in each other's paths.
I shall bear witness to the wonder they bring into our lives and to the beauty they bestow upon our souls.
I shall renew their spirits when they are waning, bind their wounds when they bleed, cradle them when they whimper, and comfort them when they mourn.
I shall be near them in their hour of greatest need - a companion and friend when the time has come.
I shall watch over them and console them and ask that the angels gather them in their arms.
From the creatures of the earth I shall learn the fruits of compassion and undying love, and I shall be called the beloved of God.
In their company I shall indeed be blessed.

So this web site is dedicated to:

1.  Educating the public of the TRUE virtues of this breed 

2.  Screaming at the top of my voice the names of, private citizens, agencies, and community leaders nationwide who turn a blind eye to the torture and cruel treatment of animals in their care and community.

3.  Announcing legislation to stop the senseless murder of Pit Bulls simply because of their name. Both in "the ring" and from being euthanized in animal shelters across this nation.

4.  I hope it will also be a resource for pet owners, rescuers and fosters of American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and pit bull mixes.

5.  Enforced breeder regulations that limit BYB's (Back Yard Breeders) from populating the streets with their greedy need for money on the back of our breed.

6.  To help and support BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) repealed where it exists.

7.  Educate and  Enforced anti-fighting regulations.

 My hope for this web site is that people will join me because they truly believe Pit Bull dogs need our help.

People who are ready to commit to writing letters of support and educating the public so together we can stop all misconceptions and bad press about the breed. People who are willing to put their time, heart and soul into fighting unfair breed specific legislation (BSL), while recognizing that we need solutions  to assure the safety of the dogs, as well as the safety of the public. People who believe dog fighting is cruel and are willing to stand up for the dogs, and the people willing to support those people who try to make things change. Finally, getting people to  understand the necessity of promoting responsible pet ownership and a better image of the breed.

PEOPLE THESE ARE THE FACTS!
