What’s Happening At Not A Bully

Screen Shot 2013-04-03 at 9.48.13 AM

A lot has been going on behind the scenes over here. I'm actually keeping some things on hold, not because there isn't a lot happening, but waiting on final work regarding some BIG stuff that has been developing. Should have some exciting announcements soon. As for my plans for this site, my goal is to turn it into a gallery site and news blog to tell the stories of inspirational rescued Pitbulls and other bully breeds with photos and videos. As you know, it'll take a little bit of time to design things, but I am happy where this is all going! Keep following, sharing your stories, and showing your support!

Visiting DC Schools With Emma The Rescued Pitbull

b80b79c892f611e287d122000a1faff1_7   Emma, my rescued Pitbull mix, and I got to visit a 4th grade class at Hendley Elementary in SE Washington DC to teach the kids about dog rescue and that Pitbulls deserve love and care (and not meant to be fighters). I was so proud of Emma. She was a perfect lady and the kids did a great job asking her to do cool dog tricks for treats. We had a blast. Thank you for the great pics Mike Dugan! With the support of the Washington DC Humane Society, Emma and I will be touring more schools to spread the word!

“Not A Bully” Portrait Series Under Way!

Rocket is not a bully.

Today I had a great group of rescue bully breed dogs in studio today to have their portraits taken for the Not A Bully campaign (studio space graciously donated by Charles Butler, who runs Union206 photography studio in Alexandria, VA, which is a great rental photo studio space I use often). I promise we will post photos when they are ready. Thanks to my volunteers that assisted and shot behind the scenes today: Fabiano Reani, Aj LaGrave, Emily Abril, Hannah Yoest. Also, special note to my volunteer graphic designer Maggie Cameron for logo design and text layout. Amazing job.

Inspired by Emma: Adopting a Pit Bull

After losing my purebred boxer, I knew I wanted to adopt a dog. I never planned to bring home a pit-bull mix that would turn me into an advocate for her breed.
