All bully breeds including American Staffordshire Terriers, PitBulls, Love-A-Bulls, APBT’s, Hug-a-Bulls (whatever your choose to call them) and mixes of the above, that are over 5 months of age, will be available for only $17!
That includes spay or neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, one-year rabies vaccination, leash/collar, AVID Identification Microchip, 10-day Health Guarantee and a 30 day money back guarantee.
Marty Sullivan, professional trainer and owner of BlackDog K9 of Alsip, will be on hand that afternoon to answer any questions potential adopters may have about the breed. AND, adopters will also be given a certificate for one personal free training/evaluation session!
"Pit bull breeds tend to remain in our care longer than other dog breeds, at no fault of their own,'' AWL’s Executive Director Linda Estrada stated. "The purpose of this promotion is to help everyone see what loving companions pit bulls can make when given the right training, care and environment. We hope to spread awareness about the breed... these are loving, terrific dogs that deserve a forever home. We’re hoping the luck of the Irish helps them find one!”
Customers can download a copy of the shelter’s adoption application at http://www.animalwelfareleague.com/adoptions/application/ to start the process. At the discretion of the Animal Welfare League, the organization will require a “house check” prior to adoption. A “house check” simply means that one of the shelter’s humane investigators visits your home and checks for yard space, fencing, etc. Some municipalities have agreed to work with AWL and will require house checks on any adoption processed in their city.
The Animal Welfare League is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit humane organization. The League operates two shelters in the Chicago area, which care for over 19,000 homeless and abandoned animals each year.
