Tails in the 'Hood

Want to see the work we do? Look at the videos below. This is taking to the streets and getting the word out. I'm not quite sure what we'll call it, but I'm leaning towards "Tails in the 'Hood". Atlanta Underdog Initiative and Friends to the Forlorn are teaming up to reach the pit bull owners who need the education the most, and we're starting on the Southside of Atlanta.

If you're in Atlanta and you want to help us with this effort let us know! We welcome all the help we can get. You only need to have a passion for dogs, the ability to not judge someone and be able to keep a level head no matter the circumstances. This work isn't easy, but we have to gain the trust of the people who need the education and build a relationship with them in order to help them become better pet owners. It's the best way to start to improve our communities, one dog at a time:

This is what Jason wrote about our adventure from that weekend:

After picking up the food donation from Palena with Sanctuary Animal Refuge, I headed into Atlanta to meet up with Ami Ciontos, The staff from Lifeline, The Coalition to Unchain Dogs and the HSUS where we helped at a free rabies clinic and food give away. We provided the public with rabies vaccines, free Halo Dog and Cat food and spay and neuter assistance.. It was nice to see all the pits getting their shots.. Some people even agreed to get their dogs fixed.. Dog of choice .. Pitbulls.


After heading back to Ami's neighborhood, We delivered a new crate and some Halo dog food to a 16 year old boy that came to the Bully Rally. Ami and I were trying to educate this young man on proper and responsible ownership. . We also taught him how to care for his dogs and how to crate train them. We are trying to gain his trust so we can make sure the pups from his pregnant female end up in safe homes. We are trying really hard to get him to fix his dogs.. This is what we will be doing.. Reaching out to the lower income, High pitbull population areas. All in Time.
