Ring Dog Rescue is a rescue group dedicated to the "Bully Breeds". We are a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization and are currently listing adoptable "bullies" from, not only Ring Dog Rescue, but our other rescue friends and those who have opened their door to an orphaned "bully" in private rescue.
We at Ring Dog Rescue all own a "bully" and would like to answer all your questions and help guide you to a happy life for you and your companion, as well as to aid you in finding the perfect one for you.

Spay/Neuter Fundraiser: National Pit Bull Awareness Day!
National Pit Bull Awareness Day is October 25, 2008. Not long ago, another rescue group, Bless the Bullys, decided that our wonderful pit bulls should have their own day of celebration. As such, they deemed one day each October as National Pit Bull Awareness Day (NPBAD) and rescues and shelters around the country celebrate with various events and activities honoring the pit bull. Last year, approximately 150 different rescue groups held events in honor of this day and this dog.

News Alert: Proposed Pit Bull ban in Ohio!
Ohio State Representative Tyrone Yates has proposed a bill today that would prohibit the ownership of pit bulls in the state of Ohio. The bill requires all owners to surrender their "pit bulls" within 90 days of the effective date of the proposed law. The bill is unequivocal that the dog warden "shall" euthanize all pit bulls within 10 days of their surrender.
