The Love Pit Rescue

Unfortunately, a disgruntled ex-volunteer has been on an unhinged obsessive mission for over 2 years to discredit this organization's reputation, so take the reviews here with a grain of salt. There is indisputable proof that the founder of this organization never raised a dime for her accessory business from any database from this non-profit. I know because I am the Co-founder and CFO of the accessory brand mentioned in one of these reviews and I am willing to share the proof with any interested party. Just message me at hello@bubbleandspike.com.

The Love Pit and its founder have been nothing but legit and they have helped thousands of dogs without any paid staff.

Yikes. Founder used the donor database to help fund her personal accessory business. Pretty sure that’s called self-dealing and probably even stealing from a non profit. They have a fake “Financial” page to get one over on the orgs that provide seals of transparency. It’s all a marketing gimmick, not out to change the way people label pitbulls. Their most recent campaign was about “blocky heads” and they sold shirts saying “we are individuals”. Can’t make that up. An alarming rate of dogs are mirdered in kill shelters because they are assumed to be pitbulls because of a blocky head shape. Shame on them.

I love pit bulls. I have had them already. I didn’t just get lucky that they were kind and socialized dogs. Yet, Nicole from the organization talked AT me about dangers and philosophies—for 1.5 hours to be exact. She gave hollow thanks for feedback when I complained that I was finding the process inefficient. She did not respond for two weeks after a foster failed to get back about a meet and greet. I eventually met a sweet dog who had hung out with his foster dad for a whole year. This organization, according to the stats, has only moved 178 dogs? Could they maybe try being pleasant to potential adopters? Could they hold themselves to higher standards, save emotional energy, and do better at the boring stuff? Like how about follow through on setting up a meet and greet? And as they intimidate well intentioned adopters with notions of perfection, remember that this know-it-all organization let one of its pits loose and kill a dog on a walk. Not exactly the gold star of safety, is it? Considering they care SO much about the dogs’ well being in their new homes they construct a nefarious fairytale about it, can they try not to be negligent themselves maybe? Very sad it is for the dogs. I’d say donate if the Love Pit took the job seriously. Maybe Nicole has a GoFundMe for her sense of self-righteous importance, though. A little feel good for all the emotional time wasters at the organization might free up time for moving dogs and will help the dogs ultimately. Not even ten thousand dog hairs would make a difference in the work ethic of people who are just in it for the soapbox, though.
