Hello you wonderful Pups and Kittens, and welcome back to The Groomer Next Door. Well Valentines day has come and passed. We hope you all had a great day whether with a two legged OR four legged friend. We have a fun show for you. We discussed matted dogs. We have a sweet story about a pup that traveled 20 blocks to a hospital where its owner was at. We have Caitlin from the Project Majority on the show. Are you aware of Project Majority? Heres what their about.There are millions of “pit bull” dog owners across the United Stateswho live peaceful, every day lives with their family pets. Families like these are the rule, not the exception. We are valued members of our communities and families. We are your co-workers, neighbors, and friends. We are the MAJORITY. Join Animal Farm Foundation as we shine a spotlight on the majority of "pit bull" dog owners - everyday people - and help us put an end to stereotypes and discrimination.ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATIONLOCATED IN DUTCHESS COUNTY NY, ANIMAL FARM FOUNDATION HAS BEEN WORKING NATIONALLY TO SECURE EQUAL TREATMENT AND OPPORTUNITY FOR “PIT BULL” DOGS SINCE 1985.MISSION STATEMENTTo secure equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogs.OUR ORGANIZATIONAnimal Farm Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, has been rescuing and re-homing animals, as well as making grants to other humane organizations, since the mid-1980′s.We currently dedicate our resources to securing equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogs. Whether the dog is called a “pit bull” because of a documented pedigree, or merely on the basis of physical appearance, recognizing that these dogs are individuals for whom we are responsible is an integral step toward a compassionate future for all dogs.WHY “PIT BULL” DOGS?When we started rescuing and re-homing dogs, we focused on American Pit Bull Terriers. Over time, we realized that the dogs we were helping were not necessarily pure bred American Pit Bull Terriers, but dogs that people called “pit bulls.” “Pit bull” is not a breed or breed mix, but an ever expanding group that includes whatever an animal control officer, shelter worker, dog trainer, politician, dog owner, police officer or newspaper says it is.This opened our eyes to the dogs in front of us. These are the dogs that need our help.PROGRAMS AND SERVICESMakes grants to secure equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogsRescues, trains, re-homes “pit bull” dogs through our shelter.Provides consulting services for sheltering professionals on dog evaluation, training, enrichment, adoption strategies, public relations and communications.Offers no-cost, hands-on internships to shelter professionals and volunteers.Offers lectures and presentations at conferences, shelters, universities and community events.Hosts visitors of all ages and interests to meet our dogs and experience our mission firsthand.Maintains an extensive historical collection of advertising, art, photographs, books and magazines featuring “pit bull” dogs.Produces and distributes free positive-image materials that celebrate “pit bull” dogs.
