Help The Buster Foundation win $10,000

The Buster Foundation Pit Bull Education and Rescue Group is in the running for America's Favorite Animal Shelter! Buster, as many of you know, is the rescue where we adopted Millie and, most recently, Bleux. We also volunteer for this wonderful organization which works to banish the stereotypes surrounding this amazing breed. Please click on the dog below and vote for The Buster Foundation.

Digging in the dirt

Today was the official groundbreaking for the new facility for Humane Society of Huron Valley. The Ann Arbor News has posted a video of the event featuring Mae, available for adoption, performing the "grounddigging." The new facility is projected to be completed in November of 2009. Donations are still needed and benefit both homeless animals and the community in general.

Poppy Mart

Pit Bull Rescue Central, where education meets rescue, is holding their 5th annual Poppy Mart auction on eBay to raise money for PBRC's Fund which finances Spay/Neuter programs and other medical expenses to assist rescues and caretakers of pit bulls. PBRC is THE source for information concerning pit bull education, training, temperment, fostering questions and adoption. It's also a great way to connect with other responsible pit bull owners.

Poppy Mart will open Thursday, September 11th and run through Thursday, September 18th with 100% of the amount raised going to PBRC's Fund. The Biscuit Co. is very proud to announce that we were asked to contribute a donation to this wonderful cause. We have given 2 pounds of our organic, all natural treats plus a Planet Dog Orbee Ball and Planet Dog Orbee Bone. Please review Poppy Mart's guidelines for bidding on auction items. If you are not yet registered on eBay and would like to participate in this auction, please do so here.

PBRC and the Biscuit Co. appreciate your support of Poppy Mart. Happy Bidding!

Patrick the Pit bull

UPDATE - PATRICK WAS ADOPTED!! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW HOME!!


Patrick is a 2-year-old pit bull with a great big smile and a gentle heart. He was found wandering as a stray and has been cared for by the Humane Society of Huron Valley for over three months now. Patrick has handsome green eyes and his favorite game is fetch. He’s a fun-loving dog who is naturally playful. He likes to go for long walks and then curl up next to you on the couch. Patrick eagerly waits for the day he will have his own forever home!

Patrick is intelligent and very active, so he's love to be live with an active family. Since Patrick weighs 42 pounds, we’d like him to be adopted into a family where kids are 10-years or older. Pit bulls make great companions. Unfortunately, media hype and unsavory people have cast a shadow on this loving breed. Irresponsible owners 

are one of the major causes for all the problems the breed faces today.

Please contact Humane Society of Huron Valley for more information on Patrick and all of the other wonderful pit bulls available for adoption.

As always, Local Dog Network offers to following services to the family who adopts Patrick the Pitbull:
Arbor Dog Daycare: 5 days of Daycare ($105 value)
Arbor Biscuit Company: $50 Shopping Spree
Mantis Pet Supply: $50 Shopping Spree
Petcare Animal Clinic: Free Holistic Consultation with Dr. Smith (a $50 Value)
