Hello Bully wants to keep Pit Bulls out of shelters. We have two goals. Why is this so important? The sad truth is that Pit Bulls do not
do well in shelters. Pit Bulls are known for their love of people. They can become very depressed without human companionship.
Many Pits have issues with dog aggression. Imagine if you didn't like dogs and had to sit in a cage right across from another dog all
day long. Pit Bulls can rapidly deteriorate even in the best of shelter conditions.

Another sad truth is this; less than 1 in 600 Pit Bulls will find a forever home. There are too many dogs and too few good homes. The
odds are not in your dogs favor. Many shelters will not take in Pit Bulls, or have a policy of euthanizing the ones they do take in. One
thing is for sure, your dogs best chance is to stay with you. If you’re ready to surrender your dog, you may have already convinced
yourself that your dog will be better off somewhere else. You may have already cried, mourned, and felt the guilt of giving up on your
best friend. Take a deep breath – we really want to help you.

There are many reasons why people surrender their dog to a shelter. Sometimes, a dog’s behavior has gotten so out of control that
you feel like you can’t take it anymore. Barking, chewing, jumping, digging, hyperactivity top the list of behavior related reasons for
surrender. Sometimes changes in our own lives such as moving, divorce, loss or change of employment make it a challenge to keep
our dogs.

Dogs can test our patience when they are untrained or improperly trained. Maybe you feel like you've tried everything. But what if
someone could give you a new set of training tools that could get you and your dog back on track? What if there is a piece of the
puzzle that you’re missing through no fault of your own – and that piece could get you back to that happy time when things between
you and your dog were good? Hello Bully can help you put it all back together.

We may be able to offer free or low-cost training consultations to people who are thinking of surrendering their Pit Bull. Sometimes
owners just need help in developing a plan of action that addresses your dog’s specific issues. We also offer free or low cost training
assistance for those who need more hands on help.

This is a process that requires YOUR help and participation. You know how it feels to even consider giving up your dog. Now think of
how great it will feel to find a solution.

Please note that we do not work with dogs outside the greater Pittsburgh area. To find a rescue or resources in your area, please visit
