Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League will be celebrating National Pit Bull Awareness Day by offering free* adoptions for those who adopt a square-headed dog. The “It’s Hip to be Square” adoption promotion is available from Friday, October 25th through Sunday, October 27th from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The event is sponsored by Dolly’s Dream. *A Rabies tag fee applies to Palm Beach County residents.
The Dolly’s Dream Project was created in 2015 to help dispel the myths of bully breed dogs. Sadly, American Staffordshire terriers, American bulldogs, bull terriers, and mixes of these breeds are prevalent in shelters across the country.
“Dolly” was a “square head” who opened the heart of the man who adopted her and taught him how loving, sweet and gentle these dogs can be. These loving animals are no different than any other type of dog. Today, in her honor, Dolly’s Dream is dedicated to give dogs like her a second chance at life and a forever home which every dog deserves.
“We are proud to sponsor this special adoption event at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League,” said Daniella Jordan, from Dolly’s Dream. “Dolly’s Dream partners with local animal rescues that are committed to finding homes for these innocent and loving animals. We hope that those looking to adopt a new pet, stops by Peggy Adams to see all of the amazing dogs looking for their forever home.”
At Peggy Adams, as with many other larger animal shelters in Florida and around the nation, there are many mixed breeds looking for their forever family. “At first glance, some would call a dog with a “square head” a “pit bull” or a “bully breed” – that’s simply not the case. They are just mixed breed dogs that are now one of the most popular types of dogs in in America,” said Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. “We are grateful to continue our partnership with Dolly’s Dream and are continually inspired by their mission,” he added.
All dogs are spay/neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. On average, the cost of care of an animal at Peggy Adams is approximately $400. The goal of Peggy Adams is to adopt these dogs into wonderful, loving homes.
