TRANSCRIPT
We have rescue Pit Bulls
and pit mixes urgently
awaiting for forever and
loving homes. Pit Bulls
are in significant crisis
right now and are
desperate to find good
homes. Only 1 in 600 will
have the chance for this
loving opportunity. We
are trying to reach people
who love this breed and
want to help them. There
are several dying daily due
to the massive amount of
over breeding and we try
to save as many as we can,
but it is very few. If
anyone in this area would
like to adopt one of these
wonderful dogs, please let
us know. If you need any
information on this breed,
we will be happy to
provide that for you. We
cannot make a dent in this
horrible problem without
education.
OUR VISIT TO THE PLAZA NURSING HOME...
We had the opportunity
recently to attend a dog show
at the Plaza nursing home.
There were several dogs there
dressed in cute costumes. The
residents gathered around and
helped judge the contest. We
were excited to be there and a
fun time talking with the nice
residents. We also were
excited about having another
avenue to show people what
great dogs Pit Bulls can be!
Shami (a rescue) was a big hit!

DESPERATELY NEED LOVING & FOREVER HOMES
Potter was originally
purchased from a puppy
mill for hunting dogs in
Abilene, TX. He did
have some field &
hunting training with
his first owner, but was
not really ever kept as a
family pet. His owner
became ill and that is
when he ended up with
us. He was very shy
and we knew it would
take a special adopter to
take him under their
wing and allow him to
gain their trust. When
a sweet couple called
wanting to meet him,
we were excited. They
liked him so much, they
decided to take Potter
home the same day they
met him for a trial run.
He is doing great and
they decided to keep
him. He now lives in a
loving home with a
Brittany Spaniel. He
gets to sleep in a warm
bed and go on walks.
His new owners say he
is really starting to
come out of his shell.
He does not tuck his tail
as much and loves to
try new things (with
treats of course). We
are so happy for him!

LOOK HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN WAITING...
GABE DONATED HIS BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO HELP OUR DOGS...
Bulls. One of our
furry children is half
pit, and we have
witnessed firsthand
the naivety and
stereotyping
associated with the
breed. We greatly
admire your
compassion and
selflessness and just
wanted to help in
some small way.
We hope that other
children will be
inspired to also give
up a few toys in an
attempt to help those
who cannot help
themselves. May God
bless you and all of
those in your care!
-Julie (Gabe’s mom)
Each year at Gabe's
birthday party, we
select an
organization and ask
friends and neighbors
to bring items to be
donated instead of
gifting a toy, etc. (he
gets lots of toys from
family). This year, we
wanted to solicit
donations on behalf
of an animal rescue
organization as our
family includes five
canines, three of
whom were once street
kids. Lollipop Farm is
near our home, and
through Internet
research, we
discovered your
efforts to rescue Pit

We are a trio of friends that have bonded together
through our love for dogs. Within our group, we have a groomer/boarding kennel owner, a vet tech
and a pharmacist with a love for animals. We have multiple conformation and obedience titles between
us, which gives us a great insight in to the soundness of temperament and structure in the dogs
we rescue. We live in a city that has a huge over population issue in dogs, and a lack of city budget to help remedy the situation. Our local shelter does the
best they can, but are in constant need of outside help to get the huge number of dogs, especially Pit
Bulls, that come through their doors get placed. We are a rescue contact for our city shelter and do the
best we can to help these deserving dogs get homes. We have no outside funding, so we are only able to
take on a few dogs at a time due to budget restraints. We want the dogs we rescue to end up in forever
homes; therefore, we are particular about where these dogs go.

called to ask for our help.
When he arrived he was
emaciated and had an
obvious old injury to one of
his back legs. There also
appeared to be some muscle
wasting involved. When he
began to regain his strength
and put on weight, we
decided to go ahead and
have him neutered. At this
time, his X-rays showed he
had a broken pelvis and his
femur had been broken at
the ball and hip socket.
Joshua was dumped in the
country and a nice lady
These injuries were old and
have healed to the best of
his body’s ability; however,
he may need some type of
help with his hip in the
future. He is a very sweet
dog who loves people and
his walks. He does well
with other female dogs. He
is a great dog and we know
after you meet him, that you
will fall in love! If you are
interested, please contact us.
