Thank you for considering making a donation to Out of the Pits. All members of our organization are volunteers, and all of your money goes to saving the dogs. Your donations pay for their food, housing, and veterinary care. Your contribution is fully tax deductible; our IRS authorization number is 16-1560721.
Right now, we are able to save only a small percentage of the abandoned and abused Pit Bulls that we are asked to accept into our program everyday. Many must turned away only because we lack sufficient funding. Your contribution will help save a dog's life.

If you cannot afford to make a donation, please consider volunteering! Besides needing food, shelter and veterinary care, our dogs need PEOPLE! Pit Bulls are very people oriented and our dogs living in kennels are always in need of love and attention, walks and training.

This cool guy needs your
help. While playing recently, Bandit slipped a few disks in his back - - and
within 24 hours he was paralyzed in his hind end. His people have invested
many thousands of dollars into extensive spinal surgery for the silly man.

 |
And Out of the Pits (with generous support from Art for Animals and Merle Borenstein) has provided him an Eddie's Wheels cart to get him moving.
Seeing the bully smile spread across Bandit's face as he took his first
steps in the cart was priceless. But he still needs lots of rehab before he
will have a chance to walk unassisted again. |
We are working hard to raise the funds to
get bandit a rehabilitation package that will include heat therapy, massage,
electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, range of motion, and much more. Anything you can give to help support the cost of the rehab
needed to help this goofy boy reach his goal to walk again is much
appreciated.

Gracie's update,
thanks to your donations:
Gracie is doing
very well! She still has a murmur (which will never go
away), however, Dr. Wey was very pleased with the outcome of
the surgery. His prognosis after the surgery was that
Gracie's condition should improve greatly compared to how
she was before the surgery. We'll be going back one more
time for a check-up on the progress, so hopefully everything
will continue to be positive.
Gracie is
acting like any other 12 month old puppy. She is a very
happy and lovable girl with a very welcoming personality.
She runs and plays with every dog she meets, and she is a
true natural with my two boys. If you watched Gracie run in
our fields you'd never know she had a heart condition.
Her exercise
tolerance is GREAT! She's the snapping tail that greets us
when we come home, and she's the head that looks out the
window as we leave.
I can't thank
the volunteers at OOTP enough! The emails and calls from
staff members were a large part of the reason we decided to
go through with this surgery. My wife and I were prepared to
give Gracie the best life possible with our children for as
long as she stayed healthy.
With the help
of OOTP and the many donations from concerned friends and
supporters, we decided to go through with the procedure.
Now, we hope to watch Gracie grow and live a happy and
healthy life with our family.
Sincerely, The
Waldenmaier Family
