Painted Pit Bulls


   As a fellow animal rescuer, I love when I can purchase awesome products that also help out animal rescues.  This calendar is just that, awesome and it helps out a great rescue, Forgotten Souls Bully Rescue.  Anyone that owns or has ever been around a Pit Bull, knows what great dogs they can be.  However, they are the number one breed to be euthanized in shelters.  That is due to a number of things; they get bad reputations, they get mislabeled in shelters (many shelters label any dog with a large head a Pit) and get euthanized just because of their breed and also over population.  There are tons of irresponsible Pit Bull breeders out their contributing to the overpopulation problem, with false hopes that they will ALL get great homes and never end up in the shelter, which is rarely the case. 



   Forgotten Souls Bully Rescue's mission is to rescue the voiceless, unwanted bullies in the DFW area and bring them from forgotten to forever. They are a SMALL rescue but have hopes of making a BIG difference. They take dogs from local euthanasia lists that people and even other rescues seem to not notice and give them their second chance. Unfortunately, bullies are often the overlooked ones and do not get adopted quickly. Right now they currently have 7 fosters in which they have had anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.


Currently they can not take in anymore dogs until they get more funds, more fosters and some of their current fosters adopted. Lack of adoptions and funds has really taken a toll, so their focus is to get their current fosters out and into their own furever homes. While they can't take in any more animals to their own rescue at the time being, they continue to transport, volunteer, advocate, network, temp foster, and help other rescues when they can.


   With the purchase of the Painted Pit Bulls calendar you will be helping save more lives through Forgotten Souls Bully Rescue.  50% of the proceeds goes directly to the rescue.  I've purchased a few calendars benefitting rescue groups and this one is my favorite by far.  The calendar itself is of high quality. The material is thick and heavy duty, not like some calendars that are cheaply made and fall apart.  Each month has a gorgeous picture of a painted Pit Bull and also contains a coupon for an item from Dog Park Publishing.  The photos above are just a few of the current gorgeous dogs available for adoption.  Check out the link below to purchase calendars and also see dogs that are ready for their furever homes.
