Players for Pits - Darien Location

Players for Pits is a non profit rescue that connects professional athletes to the community in order to come together to take a stand against the abuse and neglect of animals. PFP serves the western suburbs of Chicago and are a foster based rescue, so most the dogs in our care are in foster homes learning the basics of being a well balanced dog versus being in cages at loud boarding facilities. The athletes involved in our rescue actively support the rescue efforts and help by spreading the word of dogs in need. It is the mission of Players for Pits to educate dog owners about proper pet care - both physical and mental - so that the dogs in our care can be happy, well balanced members of society. It is our goal to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and place them into loving homes. At Players for Pits we stand up for pit bulls, who's character is routinely tarnished and often misrepresented. We recognize the pit bull for what it is, a DOG and any dog with the right care and owners can be a wonderful pet. While we are an advocate for pit bulls, we do not discriminate based on breed and will take in any dog that needs our help. Standing up for those who are abused is our mission.... Preventing further cruelty and pet abandonment is our goal!
