Allie the Adorable Pit Bull Mama

As a volunteer at Last Hope Animal Rescue, it’s hard not to fall in love with every dog that comes through those doors. Of course, any dog with a pitty face makes my heart melt. Each month, Last Hope selects a ‘pet of the month’. This month’s special pup is Allie, a sweet pit bull mama who just wants to play and be loved. She came into the shelter’s hands in October of last year, with a litter of 7 ridiculously cute puppies (who have all since been adopted).

Allie the Pit Bull

Hi there – I’m Allie - a friendly and happy Pit Bull. I’ve had a pretty tough start…I was picked up by the Town of Hempstead as a stray wandering the streets while I was pregnant with my puppies…and I’m only 2 years old! Our foster mom took wonderful care of me and all 7 of my puppies but now I am really looking forward to finding a home where I can relax and live a nice peaceful life with a family who will love me forever!

If you know of anyone who may have a spot in a forever home for Allie girl, get in touch with Last Hope and bring her home!

Fresno Bully Rescue & RIC Join Forces to Raise Funds for Bully Breeds

Fresno Bully Rescue

Attention bully breed lovers! Check out Fresno Bully Rescue, an organization dedicated to rescuing bully breed dogs. Based out of Fresno, CA, FBR has rescued over 500 dogs since its founding in May of 2008. They currently house and shelter over 40 dogs at any given time. Many of these dogs were designated to be euthanized. Here is their mission statement:

FBR’s job is to provide a healthy and loving temporary home while we look for forever homes for our bullies. In addition, FBR is committed to promoting responsible ownership of bully breeds, fighting against breed discrimination, spaying and neutering pets, reporting dog fighting, and demonstrating to the community that bully breeds are loyal, loving, and wonderful forever companions.

RIC by SL is donating $2 to FBR for every shirt sold using coupon code FRESNO5. As an added bonus, you will also receive 5% off your order! AND a portion of the proceeds also goes to the Humane Society of the US. Spread the Bully Breed Love!

New Canon Rebel T3i Photo Shoot

I just got a new camera for Christmas, so of course my first model is Theo. It’s a bit tricky to learn, not at all like a point-and-shoot, but the photos are amazing! I have to get the hang of aperture / shutter speed settings. Maybe I’ll update this post when I improve my skills. For now, here are some of my better shots:
