Pit Bull Grandma Rescue
Donation protected
I am rescuing puppies and dogs that are in danger of being used in dogfighting and other dogs that are homeless and running loose in my neighborhood. I have purchased posters published by Humane Society of the United States offering a reward for any information leading to arrest of those involved in dogfighting activity and posted them in the area. I have also had letters published in the editorial section of Journal Scene in order to raise the public's awareness of the dogfighting problem. I was featured in an article titled "Pit Bull Grandma Out to Stop Dogfighting" published in the Post and Courier on January 27, 2014.
I will use the money continue spaying/neutering rescued animals and other related medical and miscellaneous expenses. I have also helped feral cats and kittens by trapping, neutering, feeding, and finding good homes for them.
The puppy pictured in my arms was one I rescued from a breeder that had a blood parasite called Babesia Gibsoni passed from his mother which is prevalent in Pit Bulls because of dog-to-dog contact in dogfighting. I spent more than $1000.00 at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center and an additional $160.00 for medications to save her life before placing her with a family who is able to continue her medical care. I have placed her and many other dogs in good homes asking only a nominal adoption fee which does not begin to cover the amount of money I spend on veterinarian, food, and other expenses. I have confronted breeders and trainers and have contacted animal protections agencies, lawmakers, and law enforcement concerning the problem. I would like to continue to work to help these animals, but without reimbursement for the money I have spent in the past and funds for future projects it will be difficult to continue.
