Born Again Pit Bull Rescue (BAPBR)

"Our mission" Born Again Pit Bull Rescue (BAPBR) strives to improve the lives of Pit Bull Terriers, advocating for these animals who cannot speak for themselves. "Who we are" BAPBR is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization located in Portland, Oregon. We are a family of volunteers dedicated to helping local Pit Bull Terriers and their guardians. We are funded solely, and supported by, the generosity of individuals and corporations in our community. All of our dogs are located in approved foster homes around the Portland/Vancouver metro area. BAPBR does not have a physical building and does not have set hours of operation. "What we do" *We partner with crowded animal welfare agencies to create much needed kennel space for incoming dogs by transferring primarily Pit Bull Terriers out of those facilities and into our foster program *We network with local shelters to raise awareness about the number of Pit Bull Terriers who are in need of homes *We set our dogs and their new guardians up for success, matching families with the right canine companion to enjoy a shared lifestyle *We support our adopters for life by providing on-going support, training, and resources *We combat pet overpopulation and provide financial assistance for spay/neuter services to local pet guardians through our “Snip Your Pit” (SYP) Program *We strive to eliminate breed discriminatory legislation and unfair prejudices created through misinformation *We advocate responsible pet guardianship across all dog breeds in the community, recognizing that it is the only way we will attain equality and compassion for all dogs *We give back to the community by helping other non-profit organizations achieve their goals *We educate the public about Pit Bull Terriers in order to change current perceptions *We support local guardians of Pit Bull Terriers by providing a variety of services to help them care for their beloved pets
