The people of Shaw Pit Bull Rescue love the dogs so very much and do everything within their power to promote the individuality of each dog.
Shaw PBR is a pretty awesome place to volunteer. I'm typically horrible with words, but finding this place and becoming a part of the volunteer crew has been an awesome experience on multiple levels.
The staff at Shaw had my daughter and I come in to look at dogs, and we ended up leaving with not only completed volunteer forms, but a tween girl that had suddenly found a place to belong and somewhere she can learn and grow. They have welcomed her in on the weekends and taught her about work ethics, animal care, and life skills. She gets super excited to go, and won't let me live it down if there's a schedule conflict.
I was new to the area and missed my animal background. They've made a place for me as well - I get my puppy fix every weekend. On another personal note, I foster for various other rescues. I had a difficult case that exceeded my expertise level, and the staff here jumped in to assist and observe the animal, providing recommendations for future care. I would not have made it thru that situation with ANY sanity had it not been for the staff.
I guess I should talk about the dogs. The dogs are amazing. They are all very well cared for and the staff knows the ins/out/quirks of each and every dog on site. You can truly see the relationships built with their rescues and the love shown to each one of them.
I am volunteer together with my daughter since 3 years ago. I never imagined that my first visit there would be the starting of being part in the lifetime of these babies. I was impressed with the facility, the dogs, the volunteers, owners, etc.
Shaw Pit Bull Rescue is a home for these babies since the moment they come in. There they find a family, love, care, etc. I invite you to see yourself how these people work and what they do.

I have been donating and following this site and all I see is awesome wonderful, compassionate works for all these dogs. I get thank you cards every month signed and with pictures of the dogs.
Shaw Pitbull Rescue is amazing!! They go above and beyond to help these babies have a chance at a real life!! I personally got my baby Dixie from them 2 yrs ago and she is a blessing to our family.. I recommend anyone looking for a fur baby for their family to check them out.. and if anyone can help them they run strictly off of volunteers... Shaw Pitbull Rescue is an amazing non profit organization that goes above and beyond to help these animals..
The people at Shaw Pit Bull Rescue love each and every dog that comes in. They work with each dog individually to get each dog to their very best with love, patience and excellent care. They are the best.
I just recently started donating to this rescue in December of 2014. The love and dedication they have to those sweet babies is remarkable. The first time I walked into the rescue I got to walk through and see all the dogs and hear all of their stories. All of the dogs there have come a long way and are so happy and healthy and it's all because of the love and care that the Shaws have for their rescue and each individual dog. 5 stars no doubt about it
This rescue helps the breed that is in vogue to think as dangerous. These are wonderful dogs that are well cared and loved by this rescue. Please consider donating to this worthy rescue.
I've been involved with raising and donating money to the Shaw Pitbull Rescue for 2 yrs now. The reason I chose the Shaw rescue is because of their dedication to the dogs. Every dog at the rescue is treated like family. They put countless hours into socializing, re habilitating, training, and loving the dogs. I've been to quite a few rescues, but have never seen a cleaner, more organized, more loving atmosphere than the Shaw rescue. These neglected and abused dogs are taught how to be dogs and family pets again and shown the kind of love and attention that usually and often only comes from a home situation. I love that they are totally transparent with donations so we are able to see where every dollar goes. The owners and volunteers at Shaw are completely dedicated to giving the dogs the best while they are in their care and to continually improving the dogs environment. Definitely a 5 star rescue !
The people at Shaw Pitbull Rescue are angels on Earth. They genuinely love and care about every dog they rescue, and they do everything in their power to rehabilitate the dogs. Before you got our dog, they had done fundraisers to get him the surgery he needed. Most people would have given up on him, but they didn't. This is just one reason why the are the best and need all the donations they can get!
I have been volunteering at Shaw PBR for two months, after starting as a donor. The day I walked in and signed volunteer paperwork was the start of a wonderful and educational experience.
The owners are very knowledgable about the bully breed and provide the community with education and awareness. If they hear of someone in need of help or advice about their dog, they help and do all they are able.
All the dogs at the rescue are well taken care of and loved. Shots, spay/neuter, heartworm preventative, etc is all taken care of but also each dog has time spent with him/her. The dogs just do not go to the first home that comes up, there are preadoption forms and meetings to make sure the family is the right fit for the dog.
I honestly could not think of a better rescue to spend my days and time at than Shaw PBR with the staff and dogs.
I wish there was more than 5 stars, but even then I could never select enough to show how awesome/friendly/amazing this rescue is.
I have been at Shaw PBR as a volunteer since Aug 2014. During that time I have seen many dogs come and go. Each dog is spayed or neutered, up to date on ALL vaccines, microchipped, on heart worm preventative, and sent home with 30 days of pet insurance.
During this time I have seen the love, care, and training that goes into the animals. I have seen the owners take their own money and buy for these dogs, I have seen them spend their own money to help other dogs in the community that they have never met just to lend a helping hand. And I can guarantee you that there has NEVER been a Volunteer Work Day that both owners were not out there busting their butts right along with us.
For your love of the dogs, the community, and the people who offer to help even once, I salute you Aimee and Kenneth Shaw. You are amazing people and even more amzing is your dedication to the American Pit Bull Terrier and sister bully breeds.
5 stars and would give more if I could.
I have been working with this group now for 3 years. This small group achieves more than you would think is possible - they do this simply by hard work and dedication. The animals in their care are well cared for, well loved and happy. The folks at Shaw PBR work with adopters to ensure they find the dog that fits into their family, but they go beyond that by reaching out to the community to educate about the breed as well. They also try to assist people to learn how to work with their existing pets to resolve any behavioral issues rather than the owner simply give up on, and surrender their pet. They are transparent with their operation therefore donors never need to wonder where their money goes. This is an honest group who simply do good work. I highly recommend them to anyone who would like to adopt a pit bull, volunteer their time, or donate to help their cause.
