PBHR consists of extremely dedicated volunteers & fosters families who together work to assist in saving the lives of animals. Although the focus has been on the Pit Bull, PBHR will step up and save any breed when they can. There is also an emphasis on education of the breed and fighting BSL. I am proud to be part of this team!
I have never seen a more caring and compassionate rescue for this breed than Pit Bull Happenings,they have a piece of my heart and always will by the way they treat their dogs like family and go above and beyond!
I have been involved in the rescue community for several years now. I have yet to meet another rescue like Pit Bull Happenings Rescue. Their goal is not only save lives but to educate the community. When you interact with them they make sure you understand the breed and do not sugar coat anything. They are one of few that provides the foster homes with everything the dog needs and even help the community when all they need to keep their beloved pet is assistance. Pit Bull Happenings Rescue is definitely one of a kind, with amazing volunteers and leaders. It is by far one of the best rescue I have seen in a long time!!
Dedicated volunteers, awesome dogs. I've been volunteering for nearly a year and am very impressed with the acumen, dedication, knowledge, and professionalism of PBHR's longstanding volunteers and officers.
Such an awesome rescue! We fostered and ultimately adopted a dog from Pit Bull Happenings Rescue. They are so dedicated to educating the world about Pit Bulls, but also dogs in general. I love that they are advocates for ADULT dogs and not focused on the cute little puppies. So many adult dogs need loving homes and PBHR does everything possible to find homes for them! A really dedicated rescue! GREAT team of volunteers who keep things going for the dogs!! They rock!!!

Pit Bull Happenings has educated me beyond my description about the beauty and plight of Pit Bulls and the misunderstanding of these amazing, beautiful, loyal, loving dogs! This Rescue has shown me firsthand that they will go to great lengths to save the dogs and unite them with loving families! I have been blessed with fostering dogs for them and have received SO MUCH LOVE and fulfillment from that experience. With Pit Bull Happenings, what you see is what you get. True dedication to saving and finding homes for each and every dog. And amazing work toward teaching us through the ongoing events and hard work of Eric and his volunteer staff! It is a 24 hour operation that never seems to stop and rest! The knowledge, acceptance and love for these dogs IS spreading thanks to the consistent, ongoing efforts! Thanks, Eric!
I love this rescue! These are regular people doing amazing things everyday! Although it is a pitbull rescue, they do more than just rescue. They have a mission to be the voice of not only the dogs they care for but for the breed as a whole. They respect all who pass through human and canine alike, they spend individualized time with each dog and address all their needs as well as the needs of each foster parent /home. Just add importantly they educate the public with accurate facts to help combat negative and often inaccurate media coverage! Thank you PBHR! You rock!
I have volunteered since the founding of this wonderful organization. They have come a long way and work so hard. They have a great team of volunteers who are all professional and positive! Despite the name, they do not discriminate against other breeds as they have rescued many off breeds! Education is held paramount. All around great organization! Get involved... they are doing a mountain of work for the greater good!
I have been a volunteer with PBHR for about one year & absolutely love it. They are a small but great group of volunteers, always looking for more dedicated volunteers to join the "family". This group has a positive plan for growth & are willing to use all types of events not only to raise funds, get their rescues seen & hopefully adopted but to educate the public as much as possible - I know I have learned a lot from this group about how to handle large dogs & that Pit Bulls are absolute love bugs. Although a pit bull rescue, they are not breed specific but obviously they would be a priority. If you are anywhere in Florida please fill out a volunteer application, you never know but we may have others in your area interested in being a part of this wonderful organization, there are many ways to be a part of our Pit Bull Happenings Rescue.
Outstanding, they are very professional in their approach, handle their dogs better than most other groups. I can see the care and love they give the dogs seeking homes. They an excellent job educating the public.
This is an excellent non-profit rescue doing wonderful things. They are always professional and positive. Education is held very highly! They have saved many dogs of many different breeds. They don't discriminate. They rescue from their hearts, while using their heads. They always go above and beyond.
PBHR is an outstanding non-profit organization dedicated to educating the general public on the truths about the real Pit Bulls (American Pit Bull Terriers) as well as promoting responsible dog ownership. They have rescued many dogs, of different breeds, from abandonment, neglect, cruelty, high kill shelters, and stray dogs. They have true passion and compassion!
