Pit Bull Hall - First Anniversary!

One year ago, we blogged about a new program of which we were very proud, "Pit Bull Hall."

Pit bulls were, and still are, one of the breeds of dogs still at risk in the East Bay, and with an adoption solution not working nearly fast enough. So Pit Bull Hall brought a new approach to a burgeoning nationwide problem.

We wanted to communicate our results to the public and press that morning, and they were eagerly waiting to hear, as well. Unforunately, terrorists in the U.K. chose that morning to get arrested so the press was fairly distracted that day.

Fortunately, the East Bay's is home to one of the more animal-aware columnists: Mary Eisenhart, who provided this recap in her column.

Here's some more information on our first year of Pit Bull Hall:

Mary Eisenhart is an old friend of mine. I'd lost touch. I'm glad she's writing columns. She's always loved dogs. I was wondering how "Pibble" Hall worked out in terms of adoptions. Its nice to see the full disclo about the adoptions and so on. I think the best news is how PBH keeps owners and dogs together. 1100+ free spay/neuters is astonishing and wonderful. Great work!

 

About how many pit bulls got adopted this past year from Pit Bull hall?
