Our Vision:
Pit Bull Rescue Central envisions a compassionate world where pit
bulls and pit bull mixes reside in responsible, loving homes and
where their honor and positive image is restored and preserved.
Our Mission:
As an organization, Pit Bull Rescue Central (PBRC) will:
•
Help relieve suffering of and prevent cruelty to dogs identified as
pit bulls and mixes thereof, through the public dissemination of
educational information
•
Help reduce the number of homeless pit bulls and mixes thereof,
through the public dissemination of educational information
•
Facilitate the rescue and placement of homeless dogs identified
primarily as pit bulls and mixes thereof, into responsible homes
•
Participate in fundraising in order to provide caretakers of pit
bulls and mixes thereof, with the means to:
1. seek veterinary treatment
2. spay or neuter
3. provide food, shelter, and other basic necessities
4. assist a dog to prevent it from being treated in a cruel
or inhumane fashion
This is Petunia from NJ, she’s 3 years old and was adopted from a rescue organization.
Petunia was taken to the vet to be treated for a torn ACL. However, during surgery, the vet
discovered evidence of previous untreated damage and bone spurs. PBRC donated $250
towards Petunia’s surgery and we received the following from Petunia’s owner Terri:
“I just wanted to give you a quick update. Petunia went to the vet yesterday. Her incision
healed well and the stitches have been removed. She has not been using her leg as much as
she should be: she unfortunately discovered that she can move faster if she only uses 3 legs.
It has been a challenge to keep her from running and rough housing with the kids and our
other dog. Over the weekend she started using her leg more and we have started some
physical therapy of slow uphill walks. The vet said it is going to take a few weeks for the
cartilage to heal, but he said her joint felt good and he was happy with her progress. She is
still in a bit of pain, but that primarily seems to come towards the end of the day. Again, I just
wanted to express my appreciation for your assistance. Petunia is her happy self again.”

Message from the Board of Directors:
2008 was another busy year for PBRC and its volunteers. The need
for our services continues to grow – more dogs in need of homes,
more people in need of financial assistance for veterinary care as well
as spay and neuter. With the economy facing so many challenges, it’s
no wonder. We are pleased that we have been able to help so many
dogs and those who care for and about them.
We are able to help, thanks to you. Both current and new supporters
allowed our organization to do its work throughout the year. The
Poppymart online auction in September was the biggest yet! No
matter how donations reach PBRC, we are so grateful for the
continued and generous support of our friends. You make it all
possible.
We hope you enjoy this review of 2008. We look forward to a
successful 2009 as we work together to improve the lives of the dogs
we love.

Through no fault of his own, Newman has had a few homes in his short 15 months
of life . He is a good boy and just looking for the right family to call his own! He
knows basic commands and walks well on leash. He LOVES a good game of tug!
If you are looking for a handsome, fun, and goofy boy than look no further.
Newman is listed on PBRC and patiently awaiting his forever home in Washington
state.

Daily Operations:
PBRC continues as an all-volunteer organization with 35 individuals
across the U.S., Canada and abroad conducting daily business.
Volunteers reviewed and processed over 5,300 applications for
adoption in 2008. At the end of 2008, there were over 2,100 dogs listed
on the site, an increase of 200 listings from the previous year. Traffic
to the website increased, averaging 240,000 hits each day and, thanks
to our reliable technical team, downtime was minimal.
In 2008, PBRC volunteers answered over 2,100 email inquiries from
the general public. The majority of inquiries are submitted from
people throughout the United States, but PBRC also receives e-mail
from Canada and other countries. Our volunteers respond to
questions about the American Pit Bull Terrier and related topics such
as breed specific legislation, adoption, rescue, insurance, and training
to name a few. The average response time for volunteers to reply to
these public inquiries is less than one day. PBRC volunteers continue
to provide accurate and current information to public e-mail inquiries
as one of the many services we offer. To reach our volunteers, please
e-mail us at [email protected]
Dear PBRC,
We are forever grateful for your efforts, kindness, graciousness and tremendous
generosity. Angel and Sandro have recovered well from perfect (spay & neuter)
surgeries. They received star treatment thanks to the communication PBRC had
with clinic staff beforehand. You have helped improve our family’s lives for years
to come. Thank you. - Angela

Education and Public Relations:
2008 once again brought many opportunities for PBRC to educate the
public through media interviews. We were contacted throughout the
year for factual information regarding breed specific legislation and
breed information. We are always happy to oblige!
Last summer we started the major project of reviewing and updating
our website content to be more current with information, resources
and training techniques. We have updated several sections, but the
project is anticipated to continue well into 2009 due to the vast
amount of content of which PBRC’s website is comprised.
We wrote and released two issues of our newsletter, The Bully Buzz
with a guest column by author Karen Delise. We had another great
turnout for our annual “I Pittie, the Fool” contest with 101 entries and
395 votes for the winner. Our Halloween contest was just as
successful with 94 entries and 809 votes. Both were a lot of fun for all
who participated.
We continue to expand and explore varied internet venues to enable
us to reach new people. You can find us currently on:
•
Myspace – We have 1500 friends and counting! Myspace helps us
spread our message to new people everyday.

Facebook – We added a facebook page this year and have close to
500 friends.

Roxy was left homeless after her owners went through a divorce. She is excellent
with children as her best friend in her previous home was a little girl. She is well
tempered and very lovable. She loves going on walks, cuddling, and spending
those quiet moments with her people on the couch. Roxy is looking for a new
home to call her own in South Dakota!

Fundraising:
How is PBRC able to provide financial aid to so many dogs in need,
to make sure pit bulls are getting spayed and neutered, to support
rescue organizations and promote adoptable dogs, and to create so
many up-to-date educational resources for owners, rescuers, and the
public? The answer is YOU.
Support from individuals - through tax-deductible donations,
fundraisers, product purchases from our affiliate companies, and the
amazingly generous supporters of Facebook Causes - accounts for the
vast majority of PBRC’s income.
The PoppyMart online auction continues to grow each year. Thanks
to our wonderful auction donors, PoppyMart 2008 had a fantastic
selection of quality dog products, unique gifts, and excellent pit bull
items that drew in over $15,000 from the winning bidders!
PoppyMart not only raises money for the dogs during the auction, it
also often leads to ongoing fundraiser opportunities with our
sponsors. Christine Head donated one of her beautiful vintage-style
artistic prints again this year, and continued to create fresh, amazing
designs to offer year-round. PBRC’s reading list expanded after
PoppyMart, too, when we started offering Demo, The Story of a
Junkyard Dog, a graphic novel for all ages with a great message,
signed by the author and pawtographed by the real Demo!
“Every
dollar
donated… is
invaluable

Of course, many of our partnerships benefit both homeless dogs and
the dogs in your home. Paco Collars created a design in PBRC’s
name, with the proceeds of each sale benefiting our programs. Idawg
sells dog coats that are sized to fit the needs of our muscular pooches,
and we were excited to run a fundraiser that promoted their great
product, raised money for PBRC, and gave our supporters a discount.
Other treats with a purpose added to our store this year included
Chelsy’s toys, US Bones, and Best Bully Sticks.
PBRC was pleased to offer special edition Poppy money – custom
made million dollar bills with adorable pit bull images –to donors
during our holiday season “Million Dollar Campaign.” This fun
premium was a way to let PBRC supporters know just how much
their donations are worth. Every dollar donated to PBRC, whatever
the campaign or time of year, is invaluable to the dogs whose lives
are touched by our programs. You make it all possible!

Spay/Neuter Committee:
What a busy year 2008 was for the Spay/Neuter Committee! At the
completion of 2008, Spay/Neuter Committee volunteers had
processed 495 applications for assistance. This was almost a 100%
increase over applications received in 2007. Our extensive research
and networking enabled us to assist in locating options and solutions
for applicants and inquiries. Additional surgeries were also funded
through the support of spay/neuter events held in February during
Spay Day USA 2008. The work of the committee benefitted dogs
throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In commemoration of Spay Day USA, the committee promoted a
special "Celebrate the Pit Bull" gift pack during the month of
February. As a result, our monthly applications received in February
doubled as did completed spay and neuters!
The committee’s work also includes the dissemination of information
regarding health and behavior benefits of spay/neuter, as well as
continuing to educate the public on the overpopulation crisis that
leads to increased suffering of our breed.
MudBud was diagnosed with parvo at just 9 weeks old! Her owner Becky turned to
PBRC for a donation towards her medical treatment.
Becky - "I just want to thank you again for your generous donation to our puppy,
MudBud. She is continuing to recover from parvo after a 6-day hospital stay. We
just love her so much and I can't tell you how thankful we are for the wonderful
work that you do through your web site. Thank you again from the bottom of our
hearts!"
MudBud is a year old now and doing extremely well. Her owner says she is the best
pet they have ever had!

Medical Fund Committee:
2008 proved to be a very busy year for PBRC’s Medical Fund
Committee. The Medical Fund Committee processed 627 applications
from rescues, fosters, shelters, and owners seeking financial assistance
for the care of their pit bulls and pit bull mixes. Financial requests ran
the gamut of needs from vaccinations to orthopedic procedures and
cancer treatment. Donations to individual owners and rescuers
increased substantially from 2007. In 2008, the Medical Fund
Committee gave financial assistance to over 150 cases!
In 2008, the following disbursements were made:
Owners - $ 17,545.85
Rescuers - $17,315.08
Shelters - $250.00
Vegas may look tough but he's a big baby. He absolutely loves people - those he
knows and strangers alike. He is a big lap dog! Vegas is very laid back and loves the
couch. He is very motivated by food! Vegas loves car rides, walks in the park and a
lot of attention from his human friends. Vegas is anxiously awaiting adoption in
Ohio!
Volunteer Committee:
PBRC's Volunteer Committee is kept busy assisting PBRC volunteers,
processing incoming volunteer applications and adding new
volunteers as needed. In an internet-based, volunteer-run
organization, these duties keep us very busy! To achieve our goals to
help the breed and their advocates, PBRC depends on the skills and
backgrounds of our volunteers. The Volunteer Committee makes
sure that PBRC'S many committees have the volunteers they need to
function effectively.
The Volunteer Committee is also responsible for planning our yearly
meeting/gathering. Volunteers donate their time and pay their own
way to attend this event. This year we held another successful
meeting, where the face-to-face time allowed ideas to flow! The
Volunteer Committee is proud to have helped assemble such a
dedicated group of volunteers who not only volunteer with PBRC 365
days a year, but find the time to volunteer in their local communities.
