Better late than never.

OK! i know what you all have been wondering. Where on earth have we been?! I know that we have absolutely neglected our blogging; BUT with so much going on can you really blame us?
Well, we hope not because with all the excitement that has surrounded us we now have lots to update you on. With that being said i believe a recap of last year (2007) is necessary.


2007 was busy for us and just as we were catching our breath 2008 started with a bang.

In 2007 we successfully placed a whopping 32 dogs into new loving forever homes. HURRAY and welcome home doggies!!!


Shylo, Tucker and their 6 pups
Stella and her 5 pups
Lola and her 6 pups
Dakota
Bones
Shrek
The Mangy Girls - Bree, Jolie & Georgie
Rupert
Truffles
Tater
The Brothers - Conner & Stuey
Milo
Violet
Buster
Malone
I really hope i am not missing anyone.

Beyond placing dogs we had a wonderful year of advocating and raising public awareness to this breed.

2007 marked a number of FIRSTS for us in regards to events. We had the pleasure of being at the LARGEST Pet Expo in BC the Vancouver Pet Expo at the Tradex in Aldergrove. We were involved in the Gay Pride Parade and words can not express how much fun we had and what great exposure we got. Their where people hanging their Pit Bulls in windows (safely) taking our flyer's and cheering us on. We had our 15 minutes of fame on the very popular morning TV show Urban Rush and we also had our 2nd Annual Fundraiser which brought us Chris Cory and his Diva Dog movie all the way from California


Danielle also started a project that has become ( showcased in previous blogs) come very dear to all of us working at HugABull. After being called to the Abbotsford Animal Shelter to see a couple of young Pit Bulls that had been found running at large, she was shocked beyond words when she saw the state of these dogs. After losing one of the sisters to sever mange she started The Lovely Fund. http://www.hugabull.com/lovelyfund.html In memory of Lovely, who we were too late to help, Danielle has created a donation fund which will be reserved for providing medical care to shelter Pit Bulls who have health issues which limit their adaptability, focusing especially on Pit Bulls suffering from demodectic mange. So far 6 dogs have benefited from The Lovely Fund.



Here are some before and afters.

We now have 3 more dog benefiting from The Lovely Fund and all are responding wonderfully to their treatments.


With 2007 being so busy it was no doubt that we were all eager to get on with the new year and see what fun and excitement was awaiting us and our dogs.


Stay tuned.
