Clarabelle, my belle!

Meet Clarabelle, an American Pit Bull Terrier, medium-sized with an extra large heart. As you can see, she has a problem with one of her eyes that has caused blindness in that eye, though it does not cause her any serious health problems and she gets around just fine.

See? ZIP! She is playful and likes to spend equal time playing and sitting in laps getting attention. She seems fairly quiet and calm and while she will need some lessons in obedience (and who doesn't?) she is already pretty good on the leash.

She's a great dog just waiting for a great person to take her on.

Meet the Beast!

Today we are introducing you to a super special dog.

It's BEAST! His name is ironic because it would be hard to find a nicer dog.

See that smile? It never goes away.

Beast was at the SPCA for almost a year before he got adopted. Sadly, he was returned through no fault of his own (unless excessive awesomeness counts). His adopters circumstances changed and they could no longer keep him. But their loss could be your gain.

He's an American Pit Bull Terrier between one and two years old, healthy, and happy-go-lucky. Beast is very friendly with people and dogs and he mostly ignores cats. He loves to play with other dogs and would be the perfect companion for an active person who likes to walk or jog or someone with another dog who needs an exercise companion. He's interacted with smaller dogs, bigger dogs, and dogs his size. He loves to play and get attention but he also can keep himself occupied with toys or just hanging out in the yard.

He could use a little leash work but with plenty of exercise and some tender loving care this Beast could be your Beauty! If we had room we'd take him home ourselves!

Here are some shots of Beast playing with his friend Oscar!

Pitbull Awareness Day!

Hi! I'm Otis the Potus (Pitbull of the United States), a proud graduate of the Delaware SPCA, and I'd like to tell you about yesterday's RALLY FOR HOPE held to celebrate Pitbull Awareness Day! They started at Companimals Pet Rescue in PA and rode down to the SPCA where we had a big par-tay to celebrate pit bulls!

Here they are setting up the Companimals Booth selling t-shirts designed just for our event! You can find dashing pitbull t-shirts here.

This lovely lady presided over the Companimals booth in her rally for hope T!

And there was a DJ, a band, obedience and agility demos and there were booths set up to promote area rescues, sell dog cookies, more shirts, arts, ice creams and my favorite...BBQ!

Oooh, I quite enjoy this art (not to be eaten with BBQ).

The bikers arrived around 2 p.m. after their ride.

Some of the SPCA's dogs came out for a stroll.

And these lil' guys got to dress up in their Halloween costumes to play!

A bit too much for an oldster like myself!

I heartily endorse the BBQ and the awareness of the awesomeness of pit bulls!

Thanks for organizing such a great event, Companimals and SPCA! We hope that you raised a lot of money and even more awareness for our awesome breed.

We hope to have some video from the day up later this week.
