Community Volunteering

So you would like to help promote the Pit Bull in a positive manner. You love the breed and want to do more but are not sure where to start or even if your assistance will be of benefit.

At the American Pit Bull Registry ( APBR ) we work with the Pit Bull community to help educate the public on the breed, work to create an activist system aimed at changing the ways laws are formed and how media reports on breed specific issues, assist with rescue and re-home efforts, promote responsible pet ownership and more.

When dealing with a group of volunteers that are spread across the world it is often difficult to manage a system that is both efficient and effective. When doing voulunteer work for the Pit Bull ( APBT ) breed there are essentially two ways of going about such. Enthusiasts for the Pit Bull breed need to work on both the individual level and in group efforts.

It is often the individual volunteer that is the first planted seed that over time as passion and understanding grows multiplies into larger more cohesive group volunteer activities.

As an individual there are many things you can do that will help promote the Pit Bull ( APBT ) in a positive manner.

Be a responsible and humane American Pit Bull Terrier ( APBT ) owner.
Only speak of the Pit Bull in a positive manner.
Actively dispel common myths such as the breed had been bred throughout history for the purpose of fighting.
Become a volunteer foster home.
Pay attention to local Pit Bull reports by the media and write letters to such organizations when false or misleading information has been presented.
Make financial contributions.
Be politically active for Pit Bull positive representatives in public office.
Draw up petitions and gather support to eliminate or put down breed specific laws ( BSL ).
Vote against proposed Breed Specific Laws ( BSL ) and vote their sponsors out of office.
etc.
