Our Vision:

bulls and pit bull mixes reside in responsible, loving homes and
where their honor and positive image is restored and preserved.
Our Mission:

pit bulls and mixes thereof, through the public dissemination of
educational information
•
Help reduce the number of homeless pit bulls and mixes thereof,
through the public dissemination of educational information
•
Facilitate the rescue and placement of homeless dogs identified
primarily as pit bulls and mixes thereof, into responsible homes
•
Participate in fundraising in order to provide caretakers of pit
bulls and mixes thereof, with the means to:
1. seek veterinary treatment
2. spay or neuter
3. provide food, shelter, and other basic necessities
4. assist a dog to prevent it from being treated in a cruel
or inhumane fashion
Chevy was hit by a car and her leg needed to be amputated. Her owner
LaTeshia reached out to PBRC for financial assistance towards the surgery.
LaTeshia - "We are forever blessed as well as touched by you. Thank you
so much! Words cannot describe how we appreciate all the help you have
given us. You saved our baby girl. Chevy is doing wonderful. She is back
to her old self bouncing around as if she had all 4 of her legs. My wheelchair bound son says 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You saved
my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her.'"
“Words
cannot
describe
how we
appreciate
all the help
you have
given us.
You saved
our baby
girl. ”

Message from the Board of Directors:
2009 was another busy year for PBRC and its volunteers. With a challenging
economy, PBRC not only felt its effects with individual donations but it seemed that we
received many emails from homeowners facing foreclosure, with no place for their dog
to go. The basic needs seem to continue to grow – more dogs in need of homes, more
people in need of financial assistance for veterinary care as well as spay and neuter.
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to help many dogs in 2009.
Even with the down economy, we were able to hold a very successful Poppymart
auction in September. And, we launched a very exciting spay/neuter grant program –
allowing your donations to reach many more dogs and those who care about them.
Fewer unwanted pit bulls will be born thanks to spay/neuter efforts.
2009 was a special year in that many of PBRC’s hardworking and dedicated volunteers
took time out from their personal lives to travel to St. Louis, Missouri to care for over
500 dogs impounded from the largest dog fighting raid in U.S. history. We thank them
for caring, and for tackling a very difficult task.
We hope you enjoy this review of 2009. We look forward to a successful 2010 as we
work together to improve the lives of the dogs we love.
The PBRC Board of Directors
Sneaky is an almost 2 year old female Pit Bull who is looking for an active home
in California. She is a very athletic, energetic dog that is looking for a sport/
working home and has already started weight pulling and dock diving! Her left
eye never fully developed so it was removed, but that does not slow her down
one bit. Sneaky would do best as an only dog or with an appropriate male
companion. She loves people and kids – true to the breed! If you are looking for
a versatile sporting dog – look no further!

Daily Operations:
PBRC's all-volunteer staff is comprised of 36 individuals across the U.S., Canada
and Europe. Our Volunteer Committee manages the screening of additional
volunteers for an ever-increasing workload. Volunteers reviewed and processed
3,813 applications for adoption in 2009. General inquiry emails to the site
numbered 225 per month with an average response given within hours. The
website generated over 300,000 hits each day and, though our server is aging, our
savvy technical team kept us up and running and virtually no downtime was
experienced. Our custom dog-listing application ended 2009 with 2,200 listings
hosted on the site.
The dog-listing application continues to perform with very little downtime. The
web team continues to manage technical support cases due to programming bugs
and user-friendliness issues. We realize that modifications and improvements are
needed and the application is currently under review.
Our website was expanded with exciting new training content including: ‘Before
you get your pit bull’; ‘The art of being a breed ambassador’; ‘Dog Introductions’;
‘Managing a multi-dog household’; ‘Crate and Rotate’, and; ‘Crate-training’.
Additional informational pages were also added including: ‘Pet loss and grief’;
‘National Pit Bull Awareness Day’; St. Louis Second Chance Fund’, and; ‘Spay/
neuter grant program’. Poppy Shop got a facelift to better facilitate shopping
opportunities. All of this was in addition to the daily maintenance that our web
team performs to keep the site current and exciting!
Allison of Cathedral City, CA, was a full-time student and had recently
been laid off from her job. Though she was struggling to make ends meet,
she knew it was important to have her pit bulls, Daijah and Plex, spayed
and neutered, and applied for assistance through PBRC. Allison's address
changed several times throughout the application process, but she never
gave up her dogs and she never gave up on getting them sterilized. PBRC
was happy to assist!

Education and Public Relations:
Since PBRC is an Internet based organization it's important for us to keep up to
date with opportunities to reach out to as many people as we can. Last year
we reported that a Facebook page had been created and we had close to 500
friends. This year that number has grown to 4,429 friends. Additionally, PBRC
has a Fan Page which has 11,492 fans. Our blog is linked to both pages so
anytime a new post is added to our blog it's reaching all of our friends and
fans. This has been a great opportunity to share educational material, provide
updates on the dogs we are helping and and share upcoming events. We are
especially glad to see that the blog posts are regularly generating comments
and feedback.
Keeping the information and links up to date on our site is a constant work in
progress. With so many great new programs being introduced it's
important to us to provide as many resources as possible to the people that
visit our website. We strive to provide the most valuable and current
information out there and this is made possible through communication with
a number of responsible Pit Bull related organizations as well as our
volunteer team.
Three new training pages were created and added to our site:
Crate Training: http://www.pbrc.net/training_crate.html
The Art of Being a Breed Ambassador: http://www.pbrc.net/
breedambassador.html
Polite Greetings: http://www.pbrc.net/politegreetings.html
Our annual "I Pittie, the Fool" and Halloween contests provided us with some
great photos and a couple of lucky winners! We were very pleased to see so
many enthusiastic Pit Bull owners submitting photos and getting involved in
the contests. The Pitter Patter Blog which was started last year has been very
popular and great new photos are being posted on a regular basis. If you
haven't visited the site yet, please do so at:
http://pbrcpitterpatter.blogspot.com/
We have many projects planned for 2010 and we're always open to
suggestions from our supporters. If there is any information you are unable
to find on our site, or something you feel should be added please contact us!
Carlos was rescued from the largest dog-fighting ring in U.S. history, and now he
is ready to find a loving home that will shower him with treats and kisses. Carlos
is very smart and already knows how to sit, lay down, and to walk on a loose
leash. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and would do
well in a home with an energetic female dog who loves to wrestle and play as
much as he does. Carlos is awaiting his forever home in Missouri.

Fundraising:
How is PBRC able to provide financial aid to so many dogs in need, to make sure
pit bulls are getting spayed and neutered, to support rescue organizations,
promote adoptable dogs, and to create so many up-to-date educational resources
for owners, rescuers, and the public? The answer is YOU.
Support from individuals - through tax-deductible donations, fundraisers,
product purchases from our affiliate companies, and the amazingly generous
supporters of Facebook Causes - accounts for the vast majority of PBRC’s income.
In addition to direct donations, PBRC volunteers organize various fundraising
opportunities to engage our supporters:
•
The Happy Endings Calendar was a huge hit with 237 entries and 13 lucky
winners.
•
This year we offered a special edition St Louis Fund t-shirt to help the dogs
rescued from the Midwest dog fighting raids. Your donations funded their
care, training, and transport to their foster homes to help get them on their
way to forever homes.
•
•
The PoppyMart online auction continues to be a fun filled and exciting event
each year. Thanks to our wonderful auction donors, PoppyMart 2009 had a
fantastic selection of quality dog products, unique gifts, and excellent pit bull
items that drew in over $13,000 from the winning bidders! PoppyMart not
only raises money for the dogs during the auction, it also often leads to
ongoing fundraising opportunities with our sponsors.
New this year, PBRC was pleased to offer a special holiday Kibble Contest –
where supporters got to guess the number of kibble and win a grand prize.
Of course, many of our partnerships benefit both homeless dogs and owned
dogs. Paco Collars created a design exclusively for PBRC, with the proceeds of
each sale benefiting our programs. Idawg sells dog coats that are sized to fit the
muscular bodies of our pooches, and we were excited to run a fundraiser that
promoted their great product, raised money for PBRC, and gave our supporters a
discount.
Other treats with a purpose are available in our Poppy Shop including Chelsy’s
toys, US Bones, and Best Bully Sticks.
Every dollar donated to PBRC, whatever the campaign or time of year, is
invaluable to the dogs whose lives are touched by our programs. You make it all
possible!

dollar

Spay/Neuter Committee:
Pit Bull Rescue Central is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pit
bulls and pit bull mixes.
At the completion of 2009, Spay/Neuter Committee volunteers had
processed 532 applications for assistance. Our extensive research and
networking enabled us to assist in locating options and solutions for
applicants and inquiries. Additional surgeries were also funded through
our Spay/Neuter Grant program. The work of the committee benefited dogs
throughout the U.S. and Canada.
PBRC announced our newly developed Spay/Neuter Grant program in
commemoration of Spay Day USA. Through the grant program PBRC
assisted in funding low cost or free spay/neuter programs that specifically
benefit these dogs.
The committee’s work also includes the dissemination of information
regarding health and behavior benefits of spay/neuter, as well as
continuing to educate the public on the overpopulation crisis that leads to
increased suffering of our breed.
The Stern family applied for and received assistance with Mia's spay surgery. They wrote, "Thank you so much for getting Mia help. You don't
know how much it means to us here at the Stern residence to get Mia
spayed finally."
Medical Fund Committee:
PBRC’s Medical Fund Committee processed 431 applications from
rescues, fosters, shelters, and owners seeking financial assistance for
the care of their pit bulls and pit bull mixes this year. With the
creation of the St. Louis Second Chance Fund, PBRC has funded
medical and basic care for MO Bust dogs on their way to a new
beginning. The Medical Fund Committee gave financial assistance to
more than 100 cases in 2009!
In 2009, the following disbursements were made:
Individuals - $14,643.70
Rescuers - $13,181.30

Volunteer Committee:
PBRC's Volunteer Committee is kept busy assisting PBRC volunteers,
processing incoming volunteer applications and adding new
volunteers as needed. In an internet-based, volunteer-run
organization, these duties keep us very busy! To achieve our goals to
help the breed and their advocates, PBRC depends on the skills and
backgrounds of our volunteers.
The Volunteer Committee makes sure that PBRC'S many committees
have the volunteers they need to function effectively. The Volunteer
Committee is also responsible for planning our yearly meeting/
gathering. Volunteers donate their time and pay their own way to
attend this event. The Volunteer Committee is proud to have helped
assemble such a dedicated group of volunteers who not only
volunteer with PBRC 365 days a year, but find the time to volunteer
in their local communities.
Ray Charles was rescued from a high-kill shelter as a baby and is still
waiting for his forever home at 3 years old. He was born blind, but it is not
a hindrance to him at all. He loves to go for walks and is great on leash.
He wrestles and plays with toys and enjoys sleeping in the sun. Ray Charles
is looking for an understanding, patient owner who can be his eyes! He is
waiting for his adoptive home in California.

Jack was abandoned at a vet’s office when he was diagnosed with
parvovirus. Ashley adopted Jack from the clinic once he was well, but due
to poor breeding he had chronic hip disease which caused torn cruciate
ligaments in both of his back legs. PBRC donated towards Jack’s first leg
surgery and although Jack will need more surgery in the future he is
expected to make a full recovery.
The Year Ahead:
The PBRC team looks forward to the year ahead!
PBRC’s Board of Directors extends it gratitude to PBRC’s loyal, dedicated
and hardworking core of volunteers. We also extend our sincere thanks to
our donors and supporters, without whom we could not continue to
operate.
The work of our volunteers and the generosity of our supporters allows us
to continue to work toward our vision of a compassionate world where
pit bulls and pit bull mixes reside in responsible, loving homes and where
their honor and positive image is restored and preserved. Thank you.
