Pit Bull Awareness Month: Meet the So Cal Pit Bull Team!

Most of what SoCal Pitbull TEAM does revolves around advocacy and education. They want to inject some truth into the public perception of pit bull type dogs to increase adoptions by everyday people and families. They work to end Breed Discriminatory (Specific) Legislation and dog fighting.  Recently, they put together a thirty-minute documentary for decision makers in Southern California communities, as part of an educational outreach program to change policies at the local and corporate level:

Within the last few months, SoCal Pitbull TEAM has become involved directly with efforts to inject some much needed funds and hands-on assistance to one of the most underfunded, overcrowded shelters they have yet to come across in Southern California. They have launched a fundraising campaign to repair and replace flooring, as well as install new kennels at the El Centro Shelter, part of the Humane Society of Imperial County (just outside of San Diego, close to the Mexican border).  They are almost ¼ of the way to our goal of raising $8500, and they are about to launch a donation matching push to meet their goal.

Over the years, SoCal Pitbull Team has had the pleasure of working and collaborating with several fantastic organizations including: Orange County Pitbull Rescue (they have co-sponsored two National Pit Bull Awareness Day events with them, as well as countless fundraisers), San Diego Pittie Parents, Stand Up for Pits Foundation (they co-sponsored The Million Pibble March on Washington, D.C and will have a booth at this year’s SUFP event in Hollywood on November 5th), Pinups for Pitbulls and True Fit Tattoo.
