How to Start a Pit Crew to Help Shelter Dogs and Organize a Neighborhood Pit Bull Day
This two-part action kit created by Best Friends Animal Society® as part of a grant from PetSmart Charities® describes two ways to help pit-bull-terrier type dogs in your community.
Part 1 gives details on establishing a Pit Crew, a group of volunteers who educate the public about pit-bullterrier-type dogs, thereby helping to dispel the myths about them, and promote responsible dog ownership. Pit Crew members also strive to increase adoptions of pit-bull-terrier-type dogs from their local shelters and promote spay/neuter in their community through outreach events and programs.
The second part of this action kit is about conducting a Neighborhood Pit Bull Day. The goals of Neighborhood Pit Bull Day are to celebrate the wonderful qualities of pit-bull-terrier-type dogs, encourage responsible dog ownership, and provide accessible and affordable services to pit bull terriers and the people who love them.
