About our three-part program:
> Part I: Pit-Ed
Discover the dos and don'ts of owning a pit bull and help dispel the myths and misconceptions about this breed.
> Part II: Train a Pit
C.A.R.E.4Paws teams up with local trainers to offer FREE basic obedience for pit bull owners. Don't miss this great opportunity to bond with your dog and learn a new trick or two.
> Part II: Fix a Pit
Owners of pit bulls can have their dogs spayed or neutered with help of C.A.R.E.4Paws. Altering your dog can help improve behavior and reduces breed overpopulation.
