I donated $30 in the memory of a lady I used to work with, Janice Morrisett of Waxahachie, TX. She has been an animal lover her entire life. I know my money will be put to better use with The Chicks With Pitts than with ASPCA.

These are people who are truly passionate about animals. They shelter and protect creatures with paws, claws, feathers and hooves. Their dedication is truly an inspiration.

I have great knowledge of The CWP in both a personal and professional aspect. Their large hearts and love for all animals is evident in their rescuing of animals in all sizes and conditions. With their focus on rehabilitating and saving the animals with the most medical needs, they are crucial to animals that would otherwise be put down. Without them, many would not have a second chance at life. I am thrilled and humbled to be a part of such an experience made possible by them!

Dan & Joanna Goodman, owners of The Chick With Pits, are daily doing their hearts passion for every animal they come in contact with and it shows! Their dedication to helping animals find forever homes and leave behind thier painful pasts astounds me. From the moment my family found our fur baby covered in mange and contacted Dan at TCWP to the days and weeks since her arrival to our Oregon residence the Goodman's have continued to be valuable members of our family, and we apart of the Chick With Pits support family. A real class act following their hearts passion all the way!

The CWP is an amazing rescue! We were lucky enough to be able to adopt one of their babies - Fiona - and has been the best decision we ever made! Not only did they take the time to do a home check to make sure that where they were letting Fiona go live was safe for her to live, they wanted to make sure that our previous rescued dog and Fiona would get along! And naturally they have been inseparable ever since!
You can tell with this rescue that money isn't something they base their rescuing off of. If there is an animal in need, and they have the room to take it in, they will. I have had the luxury of getting to know them personally and know how many animals they have taken in despite the breed. Even though their name is the Chick with Pits, they don't only take in pits! They just advocate for them as they are a misunderstood breed.
We went on vacation and I was so devastated to leave my girls behind, I told Joanna and she informed me that they also do boarding. So I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my girls were taken care of as if they were their own! It was great. Upon picking them up, I was informed that since they also groomed, they went ahead and groomed my girls!

While I believe this to be a organization, is one who truly believes in doing what's best for pets, especially dogs, they are still in the infant stage of organizing, and dont have the savvy to completely understand what it takes to the leap to the next level.

It is not only a big heart for animals that gets you there, it is understanding all aspects pet ownership. What bothers me most, is the support of all pit bulls, including ones that attack, and the fact pit is part of thier, says the have a way to go, before the mature.

The Chick with Pits is truly an amazing rescue with big plans for the future - including posh personal sanctuaries for each their rescues. They will rescue and work with any type of animal, small or large. Anything from a typical pet such as cats and dogs to ducks and chickens and even horses and donkeys. This organization is very passionate about what they do and they are committed to giving animals the kind of care and compassion that they need and deserve. The adoption process that The CWP incorporates involves multiple steps, including home inspections and interviews, to ensure that each of their rescues finds a furever home where the fur baby will be well taken care of along with loved and treasured. The CWP is a wonderful place for animals to go as they offer a no kill space for them to reside until they are adopted. All of those involved with The CWP have enormous hearts and are committed to what they do. They will do whatever it takes to ensure the health and safety of those in their care, even if it means daily trips to the vet to take fur babies in for check ups, to pick up medications, or to seek advise. I can not say enough about how wonderful The CWP team is. I am glad that we have people like them in Hunt County that are genuinely willing to help animals, at whatever expense that it takes.

They pulled a dog from our shelter ( I am an animal control officer) that was badly injured and went out of their way to get it the medical help it needed to thrive.
Amazing people with big hearts for all animals and not just dogs. They understand and imbibe speciesism. I visited their rescue recently and was impressed by the hard work thats being put in and the amazing animals at the shelter.
One of the best rescue efforts that I have known for a long time.

The Chick With Pits - what can I say that would do this rescue any justice? They are so incredibly compassionate and go the extra mile to take care of their animals and rescue more. They do so much for no gain, other than the satisfaction and happy feeling when an animal goes to their new, forever home. They are an exceptional rescue.

The Chick with Pits is an amazing organization. They help dogs that most rescues wouldn't even consider. Injured, sick, thrown away. It doesn't matter to them. They save lives. They change lives. They change families by adopting out wonderful, fully vetted, great dogs.

The Chick with Pits is an amazing organization that goes above and beyond! Recently, the CEO of the rescue drove a total of 3 hours to pick up a Plott Hound that had been tagged by the American Black and Tan Coonhound Rescue. The Plott Hound was on borrowed time as he was on the shelters EU list due to his injuries. I spent days trying to find someone to make the 3 hour drive from the shelter to the vet, and the The Chick with Pits gladly volunteered! This is a prime example of rescues helping rescues, and how this organization will do anything to help others. I can't thank The Chick with Pits enough for their assistance with Cletus, the Plott Hound!
