September 18, 2025!

 

North Texas Giving Day is our most important fundraiser of the year, fueling our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and advocate for bully breeds all year long. The funds raised not only help us save the lives of some of the most vulnerable and at-risk dogs, but also power our community support programs, iRehome and iStayHome, which provide resources to families so dogs can stay in loving homes and out of overcrowded shelters.

The Impact of Compassion:
By the Numbers

By saving dogs from shelters, providing essential training and rehabilitation, and educating the public, we’re reducing surrender rates, strengthening the human-dog bond, and breaking stereotypes. Every adoption is more than a rescue—it’s a ripple effect that fosters responsible pet ownership, promotes advocacy, and builds a future where bully breeds are valued, not feared.

"We adopted our Rhett from The Love Pit in June of 2022. The adoption process was smooth & the people we worked with were wonderful. We will 100% adopt from The Love Pit again & I always recommend them to everyone. My daughter wishes we lived closer so we could go volunteer."
