As a winner of a Best Bully Sticks one-day rescue contest, It’s A Pittie in Peotone, Illinois had a slew of nominations from devoted fans. This all-volunteer, all-foster shelter is all about giving Pit Bulls in Illinois a new “leash” on life.

“It's A Pittie Rescue brings years of volunteer experience to the world of rescue. We take in abused, neglected, and unwanted bully breeds of all ages.”

Once the dogs are taken in, they receive medical care and It’s A Pittie starts looking for these dog’s forever homes. Read more

On Monday, February 27^th, Best Bully Sticks ran a 1-Day Animal Rescue Contest.  As always, we had an overwhelming response with close races between several different shelters. This time around we had the honor to donate to S.N.A.R.R., short for Special Needs Animal Rescue Rehabilitation, in St. Martinville, Louisiana. We wanted to know more about this rescue so we researched their amazing rescue work and immediately wanted to share it with our readers.

Although this rescue was started in Louisiana, S.N.A.R.R. has a nation-wide reach with their main mission being to save those dogs, which in any other environment, might be past saving.

“S.N.A.R.R. saves the toughest dogs to place; those with serious medical conditions, deaf and blind dogs, severely emaciated dogs, aggressive dogs— the animals that nobody else wants; the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized,” said Robin Menard, President, Founder and Trainer at S.N.A.R.R. 

This passion for rescuing helpless and abused dogs isn’t a recent upswing in goodwill on Robin’s part; it’s a life-long love affair.  She grew up in a neighborhood where Pit Bull fighting was very active, but she took things into her own hands. Read more

A couple of weeks ago, Best Bully Sticks held a one day contest where our fans could nominate their favorite rescue or charity to win 30 cases of treats from BBS. We had almost 1000 people vote over an eight-hour period and fans clearly wanted The Old Dog House in Jacksonville, Florida to win.  In honor of their win, we thought we would share with our fans a little more about this admirable charity.

As their name suggests, this rescue in Northern Florida’s sole mission is to place older dogs with families.  Most individuals or families looking to adopt a dog, really only look at puppies, but The Old Dog House chooses to educate the public of the joys of adding an older or senior dog to their lives.

Our intent is to “rehome” the older and senior dogs we rescue and rehabilitate. Sometimes, “rehoming” is not an option due to medical, behavioral, or physical issues. In these cases, the dog will remain a resident of The Old Dog House for the remainder of their life. We call these dogs 'Permanent Residents'.

Every dog at The Old Dog House is viewed and treated as part of the family. We do not have kennels, runs, or cages, rather they live in a true home environment with all of the comforts of home.”

As Kim Stordahl describes, it all started with a dog named Cindy. Read more
