Getting more involved with rescue and “pit bull” dogs over the last year or so, I’ve seen many great examples of advocacy through different platforms (see: Project Mickey). Most recently, in the light of this recent MD court ruling, I’ve become familiar with an amazing group called B-More Dog. They are an organization whose “mission is to promote responsible dog ownership in the Baltimore area through education and outreach programs,” (love it, right?) including things like Community Pit Bull Days where they provide opportunities for free and low cost vaccines, spay/neuters, and more. Among other things, they also host Pit Bulls on Parade at the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, and I got to finally attend one last weekend! (P.S. – Those last two links are media coverage, check them out!)
The event was so fun. We were all there to have a good time and spread a positive message about “pit bull” dogs. I took so many pictures – too many to fit in one, two, or even three posts. So I’m going to put some up today and tomorrow, and you can find the rest on Peace, Love, and Fostering’s Facebook page in the next few days. These photos capture the event way better than I could ever describe with words (which is good, because I’m so brain dead from editing them all). Enjoy!
To be continued tomorrow. . . stay tuned!
So glad you were able to go !! We missed this one but was there last month and it was awesome! Can’t wait to see more pictures!!!!
Amazing! Wish we had this!
heyyyy your Big Apple Pittie Pack is basically the same thing! Unless you’re talking about the fountain.. in which case I can’t help you :) haha
Yeah – no doggies in fountains in NYC. I put Lucy on the edge of the fountain in Lincoln Center, and you’d think I’d have committed some sort of violent crime at how quickly a parks officer came over to me!
The dog’s are just amazing and so are the pic’s!! Just love this. I wish we had this in EVERY city/state!! Thank you! Have a great day everyone! xoxo Say HI to Otis:)

We’re so very glad that you could join us! I’m going to share your blog on our facebook group page so that our members can read and view the beautiful pics! Thanks so much!

I was happy to be there! I’ll have the full facebook album up by Wednesday so hopefully most people will be able to find their pictures then. Thanks for sharing :)
HA! That first pic is of baby Nora and Hurley— our next door neighbors! So bummed we were out of town for this one, but glad you got to come up and visit!
omg I have so many cute pictures of them! Nora was making the funniest expressions at Hurley. I’m so glad they stopped by :) Hopefully I’ll see you for some pong on June 29!? ;)
hell to the Yes! finally!
I. LOVE. YOUR. PICTURES.
You should come to New York and take some pictures of our pooches.
Oh, believe me, you guys are on my list to visit! And thanks :) It’s been a long time coming and a looooot of practice, but I think I’m finally chipping away at learning photography/post-processing.
Beautiful Pics of Beautiful Dogs & their families! Thanks so much for sharing w/ us! :)
Oh wow! What an incredible event! The fountain looked like so much fun. I am so glad you could participate and show us the pictures!
This is so great! At first I thought it was a special parade, but is this just like dog pack walks? It looks like they get a lot of people!
It is similar to dog walks in that they’re spreading positive messages about pitties, except it’s not really geared towards dogs that need work on socialization. While the walkers do well at respecting others’ boundaries, it would be a REALLY tough situation for dogs who need to work on excitement or social skills around people and/or other dogs.
