The Responsi-Bull Project
Pawsitive Alliance is working with BullsEye Dog Rescue, Coalition: HUMAnE Spay and Neuter, and Play Bow Dog Training to present the "The Responsi-Bull Project" in Pierce County. This is a three part program, including free spay and neuter, responsible pit bull ownership workshop and obedience classes. This approach is crucial in addressing the pit bull overpopulation crisis as well as the misconceptions which plague these breeds.
The Responsibull program is offered three times a year. Please visit BullsEye Rescue for more information and to sign-up

- Part I: Pit-Fix
Owners of pit bulls and pit bull mixes have their dogs spayed or neutered free of charge - Part II: Pit-Ed
Pit bull owners who attend this workshop learn the tools to be great dog owners. They are given the tools they need to educate the public about their dogs, learn some of the basics in dog owner best practices, are instructed on the current and past breed history, plus are taught about the many ways they can provide their dogs with a positive outlet for their energy through therapy, agility, and training. - Part III: Train-A-Pit
The four-week basic obedience class for pit bulls is free to those who completed the Pit-Ed workshop. The transformation of these dogs and their owners is an incredible sight, and we know sending them out into the public eye will affect the lives of others in a positive way. Having well-trained dogs and responsible, prepared owners will help to reduce the impact on our community since behavior is the number one reason dogs are turned into shelters.
Here is feedback from one attendee:
"Thank you very much for all that you and your staff have done to help us be better parents to Bella. She is a really good dog and we want to show our friends and the public in general that even though she looks a little intimidating that she poses no more a threat to anyone than any other animal. Thanks again for letting us bully breed owners get together and learn some basic information and helping me also with some self-esteem to not be scared to take my bully breed for walks."
