Bully Rescue & Advocacy Group envisions a world where all pets are free from abuse, neglect and discrimination. As an all volunteer rescue & advocacy group our mission is to rescue animals who have been abused, abandoned, or otherwise destined to be euthanized at the hands of humans who have failed them. We are an all-breed rescue with a soft spot in our hearts for the misunderstood bully breed dogs. Our goal is to help educate others and erase negative stigma associated with “Pit Bull” dogs. By working with responsible foster homes, we are able to provide our dogs with a loving environment which includes being kept indoors as a family pet, socialized, trained on the basics including manners & crate training. Through donations, all animals rescued by BRAG shall be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and implanted with microchip before being adopted into a well matched and carefully screened adoptive home. We also work with responsible owners who need assistance with food, routine care & training. We believe in the No Kill Equation. We believe dogs are individuals and should not be labeled. We believe that all dogs deserve a second, third or more chance at living the best life they can possibly live. We believe there is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners. We believe that all animals need to be in an environment to fit their specific needs & personality. We believe that dogs are intended to be family pets and place them accordingly. We believe that when people are considering pet ownership, they should consider adoption from a rescue or shelter rather than for profit breeders or puppy mills.
