Foster Homes
Because there are no safe shelters in California for pit bulls, volunteer foster homes mean the difference between life and death for a very small handful of deserving pit bulls lucky enough to secure them. Learn more Foster Home Faq If you think you have what it takes to help a dog or puppy get ready for a Real Life, please email us through our Contact Page and we'll phone you with details on how we partner with big hearted pit bull lovers to do this important work.

Other Volunteer Opportunities
If you have a soft spot for this breed and want to help but can't foster, consider volunteering for us in these ways: helping at various events, transporting dogs to and from veterinary care appointments, taking a dog through an obedience class to teach him his important doggie manners, doing homechecks in your part of the bay area for adoption candidates, posting flyers for dogs that need homes.

The Giving Tree Program
To help us complete a bigger rescue mission, sponsor a shelter dog thorugh to adoption or contribute to the medical needs of an injured animal, consider adding to our newest fundraising project, The Giving Tree We'll put your dog's photo on our website to honor his/her role in inspiring your support. Gifts given to remember a birthday or anniversary will recieve a thank you letter with photo of the lucky dog who is being helped.
To see dogs now waiting for their very own sponsor, visit our Available Page and, let us know which dog you wish to sponsor when you send your gift. Thank You!

Donations
Listed below are some of the items we're constantly scrambling to secure in order to keep our foster dogs healthy and safe while we get them ready for new homes:

General Dog Care Needs...
Wire dog crates, blankets and dog beds, supplements like Grizzly Salmon oil and Missing Link to help build compromised immune systems of neglected dogs, strong leashes, harnesses, collars, dog toys (kong balls, frisbees, rope toys and tennis balls are hits!) ... all these things help us keep the dog crew happy and healthy while they wait for their turn to be adopted.
Printing...
Donations of reduced rates for printing will allow us to pass out more breed information materials at education events.
Veterinarian Resources...
Reduced rates at vet hospitals and spay/neuter clinics are always very appreciated.


Sincere Thanks from all of us for being part of this effort to make our home in the SF Bay Area a little better for the American Pit Bull Terrier breed.
