Pit Bull Happenings Rescue

Pit Bull Happenings' mission is to bring communities together by leadership, education, rescue of the American Pit Bull Terrier and other American Rescue Dogs, community involvement, and awareness. We are an Animal Welfare Organization.

We are dedicated and committed to:

• Educating the general public, media, lawmakers, and others on the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Rescue Dogs.
• Promote and teach responsible dog ownership.
• Rescue American Pit Bull Terriers and American Rescue Dogs whom, were abandoned, neglected, abused and/or surrendered.
• To support the community needs relating to the benefit and welfare of the Dog(s).
• Primarily, work with the individual dog and to help the individual dog owner who are willing to help us, help them, all for the betterment and welfare of the Dog(s).
• Bringing communities together to strengthen the responsible dog owner's rights.
• Opposing BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) in all forms. We will, also, legally oppose any legislation either currently on the books or in the form of a bill that we feel is unfair and/or impedes on the rights of the responsible dog owner.
• Support and to help enact more legislative penalties against criminals and irresponsible dog owners for animal cruelty, neglect, abandonment, irresponsible actions and inactions alike.

Our vision, at Pit Bull Happenings, is to one day restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terriers to their glory days as American's Dog! In furtherance, we will help restore human accountability and responsibility in relations to, the Dog! ~ www.PitBullHappenings.com/mission.php
