Project ResponsiBull
Designed specifically for pit bulls, this program encourages responsible pit bull ownership with the goal to boost adoptions rates and pet retention and lower the euthanasia rates of the breed—which faces an epidemic of homelessness. Project ResponsiBull is FREE and includes obedience training, breed education and a spay/neuter. Our next sessions::

~ Saturday August 13
At the Santa BarbaraHumane Society from noon to 2pm.
Contact us to reserve your spot.

About our three-part program:

> Part I: Pit-Ed
Do you want to help combat the myths and misconceptions about the pit bull? Learn about the dos and don'ts of owning this amazing breed and help restore its family dog image.

> Part II: Train a Pit
A large number of pits are relinquished to shelters because of behavioral problems their owners cannot manage. To help owners establish stronger bonds with their dogs, while learning some useful tricks and tools, C.A.R.E.4Paws has teamed up with loca trainers to offer FREE basic obedience training.

> Part III: Fix a Pit
Owners can sign up their pits and pit mixes to get fixed for free. Why is it important to spay and neuter your pit? Millions of pit bulls die every year because there are not enough homes for them. In fact, only one out of 600 pits will find a family of their own. Please spay/neuter your dog to help reduce the number of pit bulls found in shelters and euthanized each year! Altering your dog will help improve behavior and has big health benefits.

For Pit's Sake
Pit bulls and pit mixes make up the majority of dogs found in local shelters. And because of the breed's bad rap, it's harder for a pit bull than any other type of dog to find a home.
