BEST PIT LOVE
"Most of us are truly terrified of something: spiders, carbs, dentists, heights, dogs. But if you've ever crossed the street to avoid passing an owner-controlled pit bull or mentally played out scenes from Cujo at the mere sight of your neighbor's fenced-in bully, then BAD RAP (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pit Bulls) has an organic, heart-shaped doggy bone to pick with you. Although empathetic, this rescue organization aims to school you on the oft-demonized American pit bull terrier and allay pit phobias at dog shows, school presentations, and local parades. After all, you can't be too-too petrified of a pit donning sailor garb at San Francisco Pride. Apart from assuaging community f , BAD RAP eagerly sniffs out legit pit lovers who are dogged about adopting one of their socialized, house-trained, microchipped, spayed-neutered, and online-profiled sweeties. But before you stock up on pooper bags and chew toys, you've gotta prove your pit savviness by acing an interview, reference check, and home safety screening. Whether you fear 'em or revere 'em, bullies are just a part of life, and their rap is only as bad as you make it."
