Sophie came into our rescue November 1,2009.She was dumped in the bush to have her pups all alone. Someone had found her took her to the Abbotsford animal control. We got an email asking to take her in. so.......
We took the poor girl in the next day.............
Sophie, the very pregnant, beautiful blue pit bull grrrl who became a Respect-A-Bull only just yesterday, is currently having an emergency c-section! Baby #1 was still born :(, baby #2 is a feisty little female, and baby #3 got stuck, thus the c-section. Send all the good, positive, healing hippie vibes you can to this grrrl.
Sophie is home with her puppies!!!!!!!! Six survived, 2 boys and 4 girls. sadly #3 didn't make it
Mum and pups are all happy healthy and finally resting quietly in a foster home.
I have to say this crew is SO lucky to have made it into rescue. Due to Mama needing a c-section, mom and pups would have likely not made it out alive otherwise.
We would like to raise money for her and the pups vet bill.
All of our dogs are in foster homes, We do not have a shelter.

Sophie and her pups
Up Date from foster mom:
Sophie and Pups are doing fairly well. It's been a struggle get enough food into Sophie for her to be able to produce enough milk for her very hungry puppies and also put on a little weight. She was extremely underweight when she came to me. and is still very thin. I have such a hard time getting my head around the fact that anyone could let this little girl go. She hasn't shown even a hint of aggression. She seems to get along with everyone, man, woman, dog or cat.
The pups are getting adventurous. They climb all over her and keep getting lost on the wrong side. I find them piled behind her frantically trying to find a nipple. Alice(#2) is bossy as can be. She's the only of the puppies that seems to get pissed off when she can't find what she wants. Bella ( the one with the white patches) is very chill. She spends her days eating and sleeping and sleeping and eating with very little complaint. Roxy (the girl with the pink nose) is quite an adventurer. She's always the first pup to get lost behind mom and the first to make her way out of the crate. Max (the smallest Boy) is sweet and snuggley. When I pick him up he wriggles his way into the nearest nook, curls up and is off to sleep. Rasputin (I'm not so sure that's really his name) is another of the great explores. Following his sister out of the crate whenever he gets the chance. the last little girl still doesn't have a name. She is pretty chill but always willing to join in on an adventure.

Here's a good site:
Bullies need lots of attention and care.
Are you willing to let your dog inside with
your family? A bully that lives with a
family is a very happy dog. A bully left alone out side in the back yard can be
depressed or destructive. Bullies are excellent companions with the right care,
socialization, and training.Be ready to handle the discriminations from ignorant and unknowing people.
who may assume the worst about you when they see you own a bully.Don’t get a bully because you want to
have that image or cool look. If that’s your main reason .
Can you afford vet bill when you dog needs vaccinations updates? Will you
have money when your dog gets sick? Are you able to buy food, toys etc.
A bully has a lot of energy. If they don’t get the proper exercise they can get fat.
So if you don’t plan on exercising your dog. A bully is the wrong dog for you.
"Pit bull" is not a breed. It's a generic term often used to describe several
breeds of dogs with similar traits and characteristics.
Pit bull-type dogs are a little more of everything a dog can be.
*Who We Are*
It all started 18 years ago with a jet black girl (Britta). We spent 14 1/2 years
hearing all these bad things about the breed! Quotes like, How can you have
your children around a vicious killer! Aren't you afraid for your life?
You know when they get old,they go Crazy,how about a 7 year old girl
at school,when we are picking up our kids,she say's to my kid,I can't come
over to your house because you have a pit bull .So our goal is to teach
people and the breed to be Respectabull! Do your home work and
you will see the true dog behind the media!
*Adopting a friend*
Puppies :$250.00 Adult dogs:$175.00 First you will have to fill out a adoption form
to see if you meet requirement! We do home check,follow up checks .we require you
to research the breed to make shore they are for you and you for them. Do you know
what BSL means in your town or city? No dog will leave our care until its spayed/neutered
*Poems*
This is a poem that we like This was posted on another board. It was written by a woman named Angie who works in a shelter here in Ontario. Very sad poem, but very powerful.
I killed Another Pit Bull Today
I killed Another Pit Bull Today Another day, another damn dollar I shake my head, and hand back the collar. I killed another pit bull today What do you people want me to say? Believe I heard this story before Starts with cute little puppy, say no more, Then that puppy grew up quick This story is starting to make me sick. It?s easy for you to walk through my door But my head hurts and my heart is sore So I killed another Pit Bull today People, I don?t know what to say Dogs at large and people don?t care, Back yard breeders, responsible owner is rare Did not know if my dog should see a vet Not spayed or vaccinated either I bet My shelter door is a revolving one Everyday when I think I am done Another Pit Bull Dies that day Please don?t ask, I don?t know what to say In the truck just driving around Barking dogs is a pleasant sound Pit Bull no muzzle, Breed ban in This dog will die, what a Sin. You call me a killer, a murderer right You? Are the irresponsible owner in my sight So I killed another Pit bull today And through my tears, I can not say I got this job so I could care For the unwanted animals, how is this fair? Irresponsible owner makes me clean up their mess My emotions are drained and I need some rest My future is not looking too bright Tomorrow things might look better in different light But for now I will kill another Pit bull today But you did this; not me is all I can say.
*The Pit Bull*
You think she's mean and angry.But she's really kind and keen.
She looks very tuff, But she's really full of fluff.
She eats a lot of treats. But she's really kind of neat.
She is a big dog, But she's really not a hog.
She takes up your bed, And that's all i should have said.
By Kendall age 13
*My Pit bull Ate My Homework*
I'm really really glad , To say
My Homework is done, I Finished it last night , its not a
pretty sight. My pit bulls chewed up my homework
They drooled on it too, I have it in this
litter box . I'm going to dump it on your desk
because i want a A+ from you
