Funds raised will allow me to continue to help the Pitties in need and help them find homes. This includes: vet care, food and any necassary needs these fur babies may need.
A letter from one of my co-rescuers.
My name is Mindy Day. I have worked in animal rescue for several years, first on my own, and then with Roscoe’s Rescue. I have fostered many dogs and cats through Roscoe’s Rescue and worked as their Foster coordinator. During this time I visited many shelters around the state. I was both saddened and sickened by the number of pit bulls or bully breed dogs living in those shelters. I really knew nothing about the breed, but in my heart, I knew that something needed to be done. The dogs I was meeting were nothing like the stereotypes I had heard.
Around this time I met Brandi Hammer. She was also working with Roscoe’s Rescue. While working on a fundraiser, I met her three pit bulls. I saw how they interacted together and were so well behaved. She shared a lot of information with me about how the breed is smart, loyal, protective, forgiving, and resilient. My whole perception about the breed changed.
Shortly thereafter I was asked to take a co-workers dog. She didn’t explain why she needed me to take him, just that he needed care that she couldn’t afford. What she brought me, was an emaciated, severely injured, 4 month old pit bull puppy. He could not even walk. I took him straight to the vet, where they suspected that he had been used as bait. We took care of him and nursed him back to health. Because of him, I have a desperate desire to save the breed.
Brandi Hammer has done more than her share of saving and rehoming pit bulls. While we still consult with Roscoe’s Rescue, we see a need for a pit bull rescue. Our local shelters are full. We get personal messages almost daily about pitties who need rescued. It is our desire to form a not for profit pit bull rescue for this area. We need funds to do that. Many of the dogs we have helped have medical issues and need spayed/neutered. We want to go beyond just giving the dogs a place to go. We want to educate and change the way people think about the breed.
Personal funds are depleted, but the need keeps growing. Now is the time to move forward. We can’t do it without help.
