National Pit Bull Awareness Day is coming up on October 25, 2008. In short its a day dedicated to rebuilding the public perception of pit bulls as dogs and as pets. We’ll be teaming up with Ring Dog to have some events at the store, all very hush-hush right now but it will include dog ice cream, photo taking, educating and fun.

Here’s a video from another semi-local pit bull rescue about last years NPAD.

A couple months ago a guy found a sweetheart brindle pit bull (now Matilda) on the side of the road. He took her in and tried to find her owner but nobody came forth, so he began to look for a new home for her

Turns out Matilda was very, very pregnant and has since given birth to 13 puppies. Finding a home for one dog has now turned into finding a home for 14.

Theres no way to know for sure if Matilda’s litter was planned or not, but either way it’s a problem. The point is there are too many dogs and not enough homes. Matilda and her pups got lucky to find the person they did, many mama dogs don’t get saved.

Contact for adopting Matilda or her pups is MissKurly@hotmail.com
