The Adventures of Pinkie the Pit Bull

Dad's a dick!

Today, Pinkie's Alma Mater, ABRA, Inc. And the Chicago and NWI animal community as a whole lost their fiercest ally and advocate. Today we lost Curtis Scott Dog Trainer unexpectedly. Although Pinkie never had the distinct honor of working with him, I (Matt) have worked with him with Delilah (Pinkie's foster sis), and to see him work firsthand was amazing.

This was a guy who understood dogs so completely that in the 4 years we've been with ABRA, he made success after success story, and never failed to at least improve any dog he met.

This was a guy who went into Englewood to rescue fighting dogs, abandoned and neglected dogs, and the lost and hopeless. Then he'd turn around and work with the organizations who took them to rehabilitate them.

This was the guy who founded an organization to honor those dogs who didn't make it out of shelters by holding ceremonies and ash-scattering services.

This is one of those rare souls who come into your life and, whether or not you agree with him, or even like him, changes your life in some fundamental way. And for the better.

The rescue world, and dogs in general, got a whole lot dimmer today. Damn.

Huge thanks to the Illiana Derby Dames for making us their cause last night! As always, we had a great time, and Chula (front and center, giving kisses of course), charmed the crowd.

Check out the Dames at an upcoming bout. They're good people, it's a great time, and they give to some great causes.

Also, did you know Chula has been waiting over a YEAR for her forever home? She's not good with cats, but makes up for that by being amazing with kids. She needs a SLOW intro to other dogs, but after that? Besties. This dog is literally the cuddliest, most wiggle-butted-est dog you'd ever meet. Check her out on our petfinder or our home page and message us for more info about her or any of our other adoptables!

I don't always hang out in hotel suites, but when I do...

If it weren't for the ABRA Family, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to have the wonderful family that I have who love me... Quirks and all

Thank you Amy Lynn , Amy Gorcowski , Darlene Thompson Deem , and so many others of ABRA

Share this to give the opportunity to give another ABRA fur baby a chance at a home of their own

I have something to say... I'm not a big fan of storms :/

It's about time! Foster and rescue to save more great friends like me!

Mandates like this will help cut "puppy mill" profits.

Hi guys! I'm Pinkie the Pit Bull! I like to hang out with my friends as I waddle through life. I was born into a family of backyard breeder dogs. If that wasn't bad enough, I was born with a bad heart! My mom and dad say I need a big surgery, and that's really scary! I told Dad to start a page about me, so that I can get my message out that pit bulls aren't as scary as backyard breeders are! Like my page for weekly updates about what I'm doing!
