Bikers Against Animal Cruelty - Texas
About Our Rescue Group
Bikers Against Animal Cruelty (BAAC) is a group of compassionate motorcycle enthusiasts who have bonded together in support of animal welfare. Before BAAC was formed, a smaller group of biker friends would periodically have parties and fundraisers to raise monies and collect “shelter items” for the benefit of local animal shelters. The shelter items were used to help accommodate animals housed in their facilities more comfortably and to supply the shelter workers with the necessary equipment to give these animals the best
care possible. Realizing there was a growing trend of biker support for the abused, neglected and unwanted
pets at these parties, and no specific biker group in existence to help them, founders Cindy and VJ
Peregolise, Jr. worked with their group of friends who already supported their efforts and cause to get one
started.

The public outrage of the 2007 Michael Vick animal cruelty case amplified the need to help spread awareness
of the daily atrocities inflicted on innocent animals who do not dictate their own lives. Through a personal
website, www.pitbullsaloon.com, the members collaborated about developing a non-profit organization that
would represent all that we are compassionate about; motorcycles and animal welfare. Individually, we may
be able to help one animal here or there, but through a group effort, we will be able to help many. With the
first initial meeting, September 22, 2007, Bikers Against Animal Cruelty (B.A.A.C.) was founded.

BAAC is not a rescue group but we work with many different rescue organizations. Through our volunteer
efforts we strive to improve the lives of abused, neglected and unwanted animals everywhere through
financial and material support, public outreach and education. The main goals of BAAC are to bring
awareness to the general public of the different types of abuse and cruelty; advocate for animal welfare; and
educate on responsible pet ownership. Through our awareness efforts, we try to significantly decrease the
number of unnecessary animal abuse and cruelty cases.

The primary mission of our fundraising activities is to help defray the costs of veterinary care for the most
severe cases of animal abuse and neglect of strays or surrendered pets on a case-by-case need. We are
also working with local veterinarians to establish a general fund for emergency animal care.

BAAC supports those domestic animals that have no one else looking out for them. As Bob Barker always
says, "Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered."

Our Adoption Process
Our adoption fees start at $100.00 and applications must be filled out and approved. Once approved adopters will have to sign a contract with Bikers Against Animal Cruelty.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
