~ Baby ~
M Am Staff/ A.P.B.T. Mix Approx 1 y/o Nuetered and UTD
Hi!! My name is Baby and I am the baby of the Vet Clinic I was abandoned in when I was 2 months old.
I've known no other family then all the wonderful people here and I've never had a home.
I'm working with a great trainer so that when I finally find a family I will have some manners.
I'm not potty trained yet because I have never been in a home, but I've lived my short life in a kennel so it shouldn't be hard, I'm definately kennel trained.
I'm short in stature but am very muscular and strong so I need older children that I won't knock over in my excitement.
I haven't ever been around cats or dogs besides my kennel mates so I don't know if I'd get along with other pets.
I love humans more than anything in the world and need alot of love and attention. They do what they can here but I'm not the only one they are taking care of. I really want a home and human to call my own.
~ Daisy ~
F Am Staff/ A.B. Mix Approx 1&1/2 y/o Spayed and UTD on shots.
Hi I'm Daisy!
I'm a very smart girl who knows how to sit, stay, shake, and lay down. I could use some more training because I like to do tricks and have fun. Plus I have alot of energy!
I'm great with kids but get really excited sometimes so I prefer older ones I can't knock over. I'm only 56 pounds but I haven't learned not to jump up yet,
I'm housetrained and kenneltrained an really need a kennel where I feel most secure and can't chew when I'm bored.
I don't get long with other dogs or cats but I love humans!
~ Sandy ~

Hi I'm Sandy!
I was found quite some time ago running the streets lost when a kind stranger took me in and tried to find my family. We never found them, but she kept me so I could find a new family!
I love all kindsof animals and live with many! i live with other dogs, cats and even a reall cool big bird!
I'm pretty smart and know some basic obedience commands. I also love to play with pull toys and balls.
I live with a very special little boy who has special needs and I know how to be ever so gentle with the little ones. I can be hyper when playing but am good about being careful not to hurt my human brother.
I'm also housetrained.
I need a forever family and would love one with kids and pets to keep me company.
~ Sonic ~
M, A.P.B.T. 5 y/o Neutered and UTD on shots
Sonic is a great indoor, housetrained family member, however he doesn't like any other small animals. He isn't kennel trained and would benefit from obedience training.
He likes to jump up so no home with children under 10 y.o. is recommended. He must be the only animal in his new home.
Somic loves to play tug and will play chase with balls but not fetch. He is full of energy and loves to run and play.

Sponsor a Kennel and Help Save the Life of a Homeless Pit Bull
Every month, hundreds of pit bulls and pit mixes are left homeless in Clark County. Some are confiscated by Animal Control in police busts involving drugs, dog fighting and weapons - but most of them are innocent victims of owners either unable or unwilling to continue caring for them. These dogs desperately need help, and there is very little available for them. Bullie Buddies of Las Vegas is the only rescue in the Las Vegas area dedicated solely to pit bull dogs - saving these dogs is our passion, but to continue to do this we need your help.
When you Sponsor a Kennel, you give a homeless dog a chance at a new life in a loving home. You give that dog a safe place to sleep at night, a yard to play in during the day, food and veterinary care. With your support, another homeless pit bull can find his or her new family.
They are wonderful, loving creatures and all they need is a chance. A chance that you can give them.
By becoming a Kennel Sponsor, you'll get to know all the wonderful dogs you've helped through updates we send out through the year, with pictures and stories of the dogs that have stayed in your kennel.
Your tax-deductible donation of just $30 per month will help save the life of a homeless pit bull.

OFF THE CHAIN ~ A.P.B.T. HISTORY
Pit bulls have enjoyed a long history as favorite children's companions and family pets. When well socialized and properly raised, they're the perfect breed to tolerate the rough and tumble play that kids can dish out. Pit bulls tend to be drawn to the joyful optimism of children and love to meet them with tails awaggin'! Some APBTs may not be suitable with young children because they could knock them down in their exhuberance. Common sense dictates that children should be taught how to properly interact with dogs (of EVERY breed) and should never be left alone with a dog unsupervised.

~ Bad Reputation ~
A pit bull's ability to "lock on" with it's jaws is one WHOPPER of a myth that refuses to let go! The jaws of a pit bull are built just as any other dog's jaw. There's no 'enzyme', no special mechanism that would make a pitbull's jaws 'lock'. They're DOGS, not alligators! What a pit bull does have is strength, tenacity, and determination. When he grasps something he wants to hang onto, his willpower is the glue.

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan took out a $7000 full page ad in the paper to present the following essay to the people of his community. It really touched my heart and I hope it will yours too.
How Could You?
By Jim Willis 2001
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I "was bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent, and roll me over for a belly rub.
My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried
to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love."
As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would have defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their
worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness.
You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers."
You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash
with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too.
After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"
They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream ... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited.
I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room.
A blissfully quiet room.
She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her.
The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay
down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"
Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her.
It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever.
May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.
The End....
A note from the author...
If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly owned pets who die each year in American and Canadian animal shelters. Anyone is welcome to distribute the essay for a noncommercial purpose, as long as it is properly attributed with the copyright notice. Please use it to help educate, on websites, in newsletters, on animal shelter and vet office bulletin boards. Tell the public that the decision to add a pet to the family is an important one for life, that animals deserve our love and sensible care, that finding another appropriate home for your animal is your responsibility and any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is precious.
Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all spay & neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals.
