Getting Involved is easier than you think!

A lot of the time I think that people want other people to do everything for them. But, when you're a dog you know that doing things your self will reap you bigger rewards. This stands true for getting involved in the fight against Breed Specific Legislation.

There are a lot of ways to do this. Some really easy ways include joining positive online forums, attending positive events, Purchasing literature to further your preparedness and donating to anti-BSL causes through merchandise purchases.

IWPA

This show season there will be lots of chances to get involved in your area. Something as simple as attending a dog show can help further the positive image of the breed, its owners and breeders to your community. Something as inconsequential as buying a shirt or bumper sticker may support a cause which in the long run will save your dogs.

Either way, when you get decide to get involved you can make a difference for more than just yourself. That's why Owners, Breeders and Dogs Against Breed Discrimination focuses its efforts at helping people make a difference in their community. Whether you need help changing the perception of American Pit Bull Terriers in your town. Or you need information on why BSL is wrong and doesn't work they can help you.
