To educate and inspire.
Through community events and education we hope to inform the public and inspire a better understanding and positive awareness of the breed.
We are fervently against the cruel act of dogfighting, as well as irresponsible backyard breeding.

To encourage and support:
We are a central place for Pit Bull owners to find a diverse community of people who share their passion for the American Pit Bull Terrier. We encourage and support one another and work as one to promote responsible ownership practices.
