We are very proud to announce that as of March 2008, Pacific Northwest Pit Bull Rescue is the first Certified Rescue Organization through the Animal Rescue Association of America!

It is our pleasure to advise you that you have completed and passed all of the requirements to becoming a C.R.O.!!! We will be updating your listing within 72 hours, showing your certification status. You will also receive a certificate in the mail very soon. THANK YOU for your membership and for applying for certification! Congratulations…keep up the good work. Your references raved about your program and even your vet office was very impressed with you and your group. In fact, your vet says there is a photo of you sitting with a group of PB’s all in complete control. We would love to have that picture to announce your certification on our website!

2008 Pet and Companion Fair!!

It was PNWPBR's second year at the Pet and Companion Fair (www.petfairs.com) and a blast as usual!!!

It was great visiting with the other rescues we work with, shelters and of course catching up with some of the PNWPBR Alumni!

Oscar, formerly known as Petey, stopped by for a visit with his new mom Jenny. Jenny is a vet student at Oregon State University and she took a day out of her busy schedule to bring Oscar up to visit and share some good news with us! Oscar is now a Certified Therapy Dog as well as an Animal Assisted Crisis Responder!!! While with us Oscar acheived his Canine Good Citizen and we knew he had potential, but teamed up with his new mom, they are unstoppable! Way to go Oscar and Jenny!!

Oscar the day PNWPBR helped him obtain his CGC!

Ouzo, formerly known as Narcissus also hung out at the booth for a while. Ouzo was one of Hera's thirteen babies that BullsEye Rescue (http://www.bullseyerescue.org/) graciously helped us out with. When Hera showed up in a local shelter, due to give birth anyday on a cold floor, we took her into PNWPBR even though all of our fosters were full. BullsEye gave Hera and her 13 babies a foster home and when it was time for the kids to move on, PNWPBR took back half of the kiddos while BullsEye kept the other. All but two of them have already found their forever homes! For more information about the last two adoptables, please contact BullsEye! http://www.bullseyerescue.org/
