In memory of Tiffin, my very first pit bull who passed away on February 7, 2011 at the age of 13, I wanted to do something special to pay tribute to the incredible creature who captured my heart and inspired me to work so hard to change the perceptions of the American Pit Bull Terrier.  I want his legacy to live on through all those who love the breed and work hard every  day to bring positive awareness to them. 

 

As part of our National Pit Bull Awareness Campaign, starting in 2011, Bless the Bullys is excited to designated October as Pit Bull Awareness Month in appreciation of and devotion to our incredible canine companions!

 

Not to worry... Pit Bull Awareness Day is very much alive and well thanks to so many breed advocates and fanciers across the country.  However, extending the National Pit Bull Awareness celebration to an entire month is a great opportunity for shelters, humane societies, breed clubs, and rescue organizations to spotlight the breed with adoption, education, and responsible ownership events in multiple communities and venues! 

 

Tiffin inspired me to create a national day of awareness and appreciation for the American Pit Bull Terrier. You can help Tiffin's legacy continue by keeping the spirit of the National Pit Bull Awareness Campaign in your heart in October and every day! 

 

Through education and compassion, we will bring about a positive change for these incredible dogs!
