Calling all responsible pit bull owners, advocates and fanciers...


Please mark Saturday, October 25, 2008 on your calendars for the SECOND ANNUAL nationwide Pit Bull Awareness Day.

Last year's first ever Pit Bull Awareness Day was an incredible success thanks to YOU - all the breed advocates across the country united to educate, raise awareness, and promote a positive pit bull image. This year's events can be even better!

Bless the Bullys has teamed up with ROVERlution for this great cause in an effort to raise awareness to the plight of the All-American pit bull terrier AND to make a united stand against breed specific legislation. October 25, 2008 will go down as a day that pit bull advocates all over the country joined forces in support of an incredible cause! To learn more about ROVERlution or host a Luv-a-Bully march, please visit www.roverlution.org.

In keeping with our tradition, your event is up to you... Whether you plan an event all your own (and being so close to HOWLoween, themed events could be a lot of fun!!) or if you choose to participate in a Luv-a-Bully march, please join us on October 25, 2008 to celebrate this incredible breed and their devoted and responsible owners!

Why a Pit Bull Awareness Day?

In light of the constant negative publicity and sensationalized hype that surrounds pit bulls, Pit Bull Awareness Day was established as a day to focus on these incredible dogs and their devoted, responsible owners.

As breed advocates, it is our duty to show the public that all pit bull owners ARE NOT alike. As responsible pit bull owners, we can no longer be willing to sit back and be judged and criminalized by the image set by the visible minority of irresponsible owners. Although we all work hard everyday to change the undeserved image of our dogs, Pit Bull Awareness Day is the time to collectively make our voices heard. After all, we are the ONLY voices are dogs have.

Regardless of where you are located, please join Bless the Bullys in celebrating this wonderful breed and their devoted, responsible owners/advocates.

Please participate in an activity on October 25, 2008 to promote and celebrate responsible pit bull ownership. Whether you choose to particpate in a Luv-a-Bully March or another activity of you choice - an educational workshop, a meet and greet, a bully rally, a dog wash, a BBQ or just a friendly get together - please sign up to participate so people in your area know and can participate and promote responsible ownership with you.
Working together, we can change the image bestowed upon our dogs (and their owners).

Pit Bull Awareness Day -- October 25th, 2008

The 2nd annual Pit Bull Awareness Day is Saturday, October 25th, 2008 and it’s a great time for you to become involved! You do not have to be a large organization; anyone can participate and make a difference.

Here are some ideas to help you with your plans for Pit Bull Awareness Day:

• Speak to local pet stores or any retailer and see if you can set up a table for the day or even a few hours to educate the public about the bully breeds.
• Visit groomers, vets, pet stores, and animal shelters to see if you can leave educational materials for clients.
• Talk to other pit bull owners and arrange to hold an educational event, a rally, or something else -- the possibilities are endless!
• Talk to your local library and/or animal shelter about doing an educational workshop on pit bulls, canine safety,and responsible dog ownership.
• Visit Bless the Bully’s website and see if there are any events in your area that you can participate in.
• Check PBRC for rescues in your area and see if they are doing anything you can volunteer to help with.

Ideas for educational materials:

• Create a “Find the Bully” poster board and play the game with the public.
• Download and print material from PBRC's flyer page
• Bring a well-trained Bully Ambassador to the event, if permitted.

Good topics for conversations and workshops:

• Bully Temperament
• Breed Specific Legislation
• Show how pit bulls are active in society – As service dogs, search and rescue dogs, narcotics dogs, therapy dogs, and in bomb detection, to name a few areas
• For more information on Pit Bull Awareness Day visit: Bless the Bullys

We are pleased to announce that PBRC's 2009 Happy Endings Calendar is now available for sale!
It is a 12-month, full-color calendar brimming with gorgeous, rescued pit bulls of all shapes, sizes, and colors. You can order your copy of the Happy Endings 2009 calendar by clicking HERE!
