End the Ban of Pitbull Breeds in St. Mary Parish

17/05/2023

Yay - great news!! Thank you Minnesota!!

MINNESOTA - WE DID IT!

Our bill to remove breed restrictions in homeowners insurance policies passed today. We believe that this bill is a step in the right direction to create equitable access to pet ownership across the state of MN. We know that this bill will set an example for other states across the country - to remove barriers to pet ownership.

We want to give a special thank you to our lead authors - Sen. Bobby Joe Champion and Representative Liz Reyer and to our The Humane Society of the United States - Minnesota State Director, Zack for working tirelessly on this bill during this legislative session.

And thank you to all of you for sharing your stories with us and for trusting us to introduce this legislation over the last 7 years.

WE FINALLY DID IT!

In her 3 days with us, Athena knew love…rest in peace beautiful girl💔

We know that three days of kindness can’t erase the abuse inflicted on Athena, but we are so humbled that you, our incredible rescue community, helped us show Athena that she was safe and loved. The damage to Athena’s intestines was too severe for her to recover. A cloth object had wound its way through her stomach into her intestines and caused her intestines to knot into sections. Her intestines had perforated in other areas and the fibers embedded into her intestine walls. There wasn’t enough healthy tissue to save. We had to make the heartbreaking decision to put Athena to sleep while she was under anesthesia.

Because of your devoted support, Athena had everything she needed to move on. But, we can’t help but wish for more for her. Athena is gone, but her memory will live on. We have requested Athena’s ashes and paw print to memorialize this special angel. We ask that you memorialize Athena today by visiting our Percy’s Promise advocacy project in her honor: rbari.org/percyspromise. The purpose of this project is to identify and prevent the abuse and neglect of pit bulls, one dog at a time and one person at a time. You are that person, and through your advocacy, together we can remember Athena with love in our hearts and a promise to combat animal cruelty.

Please consider advocating now using our easy to follow template. We honor Athena, Percy and so many others by being their voice. Visit rbari.org/percyspromise for step by step directions and a template letter, along with how to find your local representatives. Dog abuse is happening in our backyards right now, and it is up to each of us to reach out to lawmakers to demand change. Be the change you want to see in the world – please do it today for Athena.

Our hearts are broken, but we know that Athena knew love and comfort in her life, with thanks to you, the amazing staff at Oradell Animal Hospital, her angel Moe and our incredible partners at Jersey Pits rescue. Please remember Athena with love in your hearts and a promise to combat animal cruelty together. It is time to run free beautiful angel Athena!

If you're local to Newburgh, NY ... head on out to the Newburgh Brewing Company this Sunday from 1-4 & support my friends at Newburgh Scats Cat Adoption Center & Thrift Store and their efforts to support the kitties!!

I won't be there because I'm a dog & I prefer to keep my kitties at a distance, they're scary!! :)

"We inherited our pittie, Westside, in October of 2017 when he was about 18 months old. Westside was rescued as a puppy and became the beloved companion of our uncle, who passed away from cancer. Since joining our house, Westside’s favorite pastimes include learning tricks and cuddling"

But by all means ... keep getting your pets from breeders.

55400 is the low end ... not all shelters reported ... not even close to all shelters reported. And this is JUST IN FLORIDA. 55400 in Florida, alone. The study found 2000 dogs and cats are killed every single day in shelters across the country. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Until this number is zero - for all states - I will not stop advocating for adopting over buying. If you buy from a breeder or a pet store - you didn't adopt your pet. Don't sugar coat it. No matter the breed, the age, the qualities you want ... you CAN find that in rescue, if you're patient and do your due diligence. They have no voice - I will be their voice.

If you can't adopt ... foster, donate, volunteer ... locally, not nationally. Local shelters and rescues use more money for the animals - and less money on administrative costs.

Florida had one of the highest numbers of cats and dogs killed at shelters last year, according to a new study.
