Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Celebrating America’s “pit bull” dogs while working to end canine discrimination, no matter the breed, through education, advocacy, owner support and accessible services.
Results: One of our greatest accomplishments to date would be our involvement in the 2013 legislative session where we worked tirelessly to convince Nevada legislators to protect dogs of all kinds within the state from Breed Specific Legislation. Known then as AB110, the bill was passed and signed into law in October of 2013.NRS 202.500 now includes language that bans any jurisdiction within the state from declaring a dog dangerous or vicious based solely on breed. Our Spay & Neuter Assistance Program has made significant headway as well. As of August 2015, we have paid for all or a portion of more than 350 spay and neuter surgeries of "pit bull" dogs. With an average of 12 "pit bulls" being euthanized each and every day by our local shelter, this program aims to lower those statistics by curbing the number of puppies being born to an uncertain future. Our Owner Support Outreach strives to help struggling dog owners with basic resources in an effort to keep dogs at home, with their families and out of the shelter/rescue system. We do this by providing supplies such as dog food. This program is open to dogs of all types. Since 2012, we have given out more than 7700lbs of dog food to owners in need. We have provided training advice to owners who are at their wits end, paid pet deposits and given out crates to keep dogs safe and out of trouble. We also work to make harsh conditions as humane as we can for dogs living on tethers, as well as those who must live outdoors all of their lives. We have fixed fences, helped with building dog runs and provided owners with dog houses so that outside dogs have adequate protection from the elements.
Target demographics: people and their dogs
Direct beneficiaries per year: educate over 1000 school children, gave away more than 2500lbs of dog food and fixed more than 100 pit bull & pit bull mix dogs.
Geographic areas served: the Las Vegas Valley
Programs: educational outreach, low cost spay/neuter for "pit bull" and "pit bull" mix dogs and owner support.
