Don't Bully My Breed Supporters:

Maple (formerly Midnight) was neglected and bounced from home to home before being saved. Maple was tied outside with a jumprope and had a massive flea infestation which caused hair loss all over her back. She was so itchy, she chewed her rear end raw. She had never seen a vet and was overbred - not to mention a huge hematoma was taking over her ear and about to burst at any moment. She is also very underweight.

Maple has now been fully vetted and needs help with her vet bill. She received Distemper/Rabies vaccines, had a fecal performed, had a skin scrape (negative), heartworm test (thankfully negative), microchip implant, was spayed, and had her hematoma drained.

Her ear will need aftercare as well. She was also put on two different medications, one for post-spay pain and one for her skin. She was also boarded before going to her foster home and we need donations for that as well.

Any amount, no matter how big or how small you can give is appreciated!

Maple is also now looking for her forever home. Despite being neglected in the past, she is super super sweet. She is good with dogs and cats, well behaved, perfectly housebroken, and LOVES kids! View her page on our website here.

Hi Folks,
Its been awhile since we sent a plea out, and we try to do so only when faced with an urgent situation. In this case, we really need donations for FOUR heartworm positive dogs: Bonnie, Clyde, Tessa, and King.

We've helped two dogs find their forever homes recently, Chico and Kea, and were hoping to work on paying down our vet bill and our kennel bill which are both high, when we found out these four dogs were ALL heartworm positive. We know the economy is bad, but if you've ever supported us in the past, we really really need your help now. These four were saved from high kill animal controls (three in IL, and one out of state). They have WONDERFUL personalities but they are in a holding pattern to start/complete their heartworm treatments.

PLEASE consider making a donation in any amount on our website, dontbullymybreed.org, on the How You Can Help page, http://www.thetruthaboutpitbulls.org/donation.php
or, since Paypal takes a cut of each donation, you can email us at
dontbullymybreed@aol.com for the address to send a check to.

Please ask all your friends/family/coworkers to consider donating as well. We need donations now more than ever.
And, for those of you who are cat lovers, we just helped seven kittens, and their moms. Four of the kittens have been placed, and we have three in a foster home for socializing. This added to our vet bill considerably as this was an additional nine spay/neuters, vaccines, feleuk/FIV tests, microchips, etc.

Violet

Violet was a victim of a hit and run on a rural country road with the car never even slowing down. She needed to have one leg amputated and another leg needed a metal pin. We were worried about her quality of life, but she is, only THREE days after surgery, hobbling in her cage, using the litterbox, eating with a hearty appetite, and never shutting her mouth for an instant!!! This little girl has a LOT to say! She is unbelievably sweet and quite the tough little girl who cant wait to be adopted by someone who sees that she is not disabled, but, rather, a tough little girl with a survivor's heart. Who needs four legs anyway? Or even three perfect ones? :)

Tiger

Tiger, a purebred lab, is over 15 years old and his owners severely neglected him. He lived in a garage, come hot or cold, and had a horrible skin condition called sarcoptes, that was unbearably itchy and caused his entire body to lose hair and become raw, red, and inflamed. He also had a massive tumor near his rectum but we had to wait to heal his skin before being able to remove tumor. Upon doing xrays, we found he had been shot in the past, and the pellets were left inside him. His geriatric blood panel came back all good so, besides having a wobbly back end from bad hips, he finally has the chance to feel painless, safe, comfortable, and loved in his golden years. He has THE most sweet, gentle disposition and has never been grumbly or growly even once during all his treatments. He has been wonderfully patient through this whole process and just seems so so grateful to finally be cherished and loved.

Paulie - acid burns

We also wanted you to "meet" Paulie as he is finally ready for adoption after coming from an out of state high kill animal control with horrible injuries. Our vet, upon exam and skin tests, believes he was doused with an acidic substance. His hair may never grow completely back but we think he is SUPER handsome just the way he is. His disposition is amazing and he is just an overgrown puppy, that holds no grudges, and just wants to be adopted so he can sit in your lap for hours.

So, here we are, begging again! And again, we want to express, we understand times are tough right now with the horrible economy and all, but we couldn't refuse helping these animals. If you could please send any amount, large or small, we would greatly, greatly appreciate it. Maybe skip a beer on Fri night (or two or three, and avoid having a hangover? :))) Or pay that one bill you're already late on, a bit later still, and send something for the medical care for these guys? Really, even the smallest amount will help. If you can donate more, it would help tremendously. Either way, we are incredibly grateful for any donation you can send. If you'd like your donation to go to one of these three animals specifically, feel free to let us know.
Donations can be made online at http://www.thetruthaboutpitbulls.org/donation.php or you can email us at dontbullymybreed@aol.com and we will let you know the address to mail donations too.
Thank you so very much and please crosspost this email to all of your friends/family/coworkers!

UPDATE: Violet has been adopted!
