Pittie Please, Find A Cure Walk

Grab your leash and join our FUNdraiser! ABC’s Of Bullies is thrilled to be hosting our second annual, “Pittie Please, Find a Cure Walk!” We are combining two causes that are near and dear to our hearts. 

ABC’s of Bullies is an advocacy group that fights breed specific legislation (BSL) in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.  BSL punishes responsible dog owners by imposing malicious laws that regulate or ban certain breeds of dogs, including but not limited to pit bulls.  We are fighting each day for discriminated breeds and their owners alike to live prejudice free.


A member of our group and pit bull owner not only fights BSL, but also battles Cystic Fibrosis- a deadly lung disease.  On a daily basis she struggles to literally breathe.  Better than any therapy, her “Pittie” girls,  Kemo and Chula stay right by her side. 


At the walk, ABC’s of Bullies will be bringing positive attention to our dogs while bringing awareness to the struggle of Cystic Fibrosis
! So, let’s walk our pit bulls and their K-9 friends and raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Pittie Please, Find A Cure Walk is open to ALL dog breeds.  We do not discriminate.  All dogs...big, small, senior, blind, deaf, or chubby...are welcome!  All proceeds benefit
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
