Snuggle Bull of The Week Contest
What is the PURPOSE of the Snuggle Bull of the Week Contest?
With all of the negative media, so many people view a Pit Bull's wonderful qualities as the 'positive side'. Which to me implies that there is a negative side first to get through, just because they are a bully breed. Often times a person who has no experience with a 'shelter pet' would not consider adoption out of fear especially with bully breeds. Most often, Bully breeds are overlooked and unaccepted altogether, thought of as 'mean' or 'dangerous'.
I hope that our Snuggle Bull features will disprove these and other misconceptions by reading success stories of everyday people and their Bully Best Friends. EVEN adopted bully's, often times previously abused, neglected and/or abandoned, Bully's. The Snuggle Bull Features focus on the nature of that particular Bully, up to and including how they are with kids and other pets, as well as many other 'personality' type questions. Some features will be Bully's who were previously shelter/rescue dogs success stories, some will be stories of remarkable companionship - ALL will show the true nature of our Bullies and prove what others are missing out on! With our features, I hope to skip right over the negative and show everyone who will read it, that most of that 'negative' doesn't really exist. Instead, bully's are trustworthy, loyal, intuitive, goofy - always making you laugh and smile, affectionate over- sized lap dogs A.K.A. SNUGGLE BULLS! Their love is unbreakable and truly unconditional.
We hope that you will find this to be fun, exciting and a productive way to promote the true nature and the countless amazing qualities our bully's possess!
There is no 'positive side', Bully's are ALL POSITIVE! TOGETHER, WE CAN PROVE THIS! CLIPS FROM: DANNI, OUR VERY FIRST SNUGGLE BULL
Somehow I ended up on a street corner in Queens, NY as a stray. Animal Control picked me up on May 18th , 2010 and my new home was a shelter……
I was now a Death Row Dog…not good!! They don’t let us stay too long because shelters are so crowded. So we have euthanasia dates to make room for others. Some people from Amsterdog Rescue Inc., come in to try and save as many of us as they can. The day they came in, I was just sitting in my cage playing with my toy they gave me. All the dogs were barking and very frantic, as we all should be……it’s scary and lonely in there. But I kept occupying myself with my toy and didn’t bark. My Rescue Mom, Deb, said that is what made them want to give me another chance. I was calm and cool….Miss Independent amongst all the commotion. Next thing I know, I was sprung from jail and on my way to a better life.
By the end of May I had passed my Temperment Test with a “No Concerns”, which is the highest score a dog can get. That means I am a friendly girl, far from the “killer” that PitBulls are made out to be.
6. Snuggle Bulls: If you could speak to every person in the world who has preconceived misconceptions regarding this breed and to those who are 'against' the breed, fighting for BSL or otherwise, what would you say?
Dawn: I had a Shepherd and lived with a Rottweiler........but Danni is my fist PitBull. I will admit I was afraid after I ageed to take her because I had never seen or interacted with one. I only saw them on TV......and all the negativity that follows them. She has turned out to be the most loyal dog I have had. If you treat them with respect and love.........they will return it back to you ten times over............
