October is Pitbull Awareness Month – a time dedicated to shedding light on the often-misunderstood breed and promoting responsible ownership.
Pitbulls are versatile and intelligent dogs that have historically been bred for various purposes, including herding livestock and as family companions. They are known for their loyalty, affection, and love for human interaction. However, due to their strength and athleticism, they have also been used in illegal dogfighting activities, contributing to the negative perception surrounding the breed.
Pitbull Awareness Month aims to educate the public about responsible Pitbull ownership. It emphasizes the importance of training, socialization, and providing a loving environment for these dogs. Responsible owners understand that proper training, adequate exercise, and socialization are vital for any breed, including Pitbulls.
Los Angeles County, like many other regions, faces challenges related to Pitbull overpopulation and abandonment. According to recent statistics, Pitbulls and Pitbull mixes account for a significant portion of shelter dogs in the county.
I Stand With My Pack strives to protect and promote these loving and misunderstood dogs. The ISWMP Bully Booster Program is a commitment to ensure that 30% of our quarterly rescues are bully-type dogs who will be provided for medically, and behaviorally if necessary, and placed in loving forever homes.
Pitbull Awareness Month provides an excellent opportunity to challenge stereotypes and promote a better understanding of Pitbulls. By dispelling myths, advocating for responsible ownership, and supporting initiatives that address Pitbull overpopulation, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive community for both Pitbulls and their owners. Remember, every dog deserves a chance to be loved and appreciated for their individual personality, regardless of their breed.
To celebrate National Pit Bull Awareness Month, through October 31st, 100% of the profits from Grounds & Hounds Rescue Roast will benefit our Bully Booster program. We hope you’ll join us in providing a voice and a second chance for these lovable pups in need with every purchase of Rescue Roast.
Let us celebrate Pitbulls by working towards a future where they are recognized for the wonderful companions they truly are!
