National Pit Bull Day, celebrated annually on the last Saturday in October, is a special day dedicated to advocating for and changing the perception of pit bulls. Started in 2007 by Bless The Bullys, a non-profit rescue organization based in Tennessee, National Pit Bull Day aims to increase positive conversations and education about these lovable but misunderstood dogs. As a proud pit bull owner, or someone who supports this breed, there are many fun and meaningful ways to celebrate this day with your furry friend.
A Brief History
National Pit Bull Day is an annual event started in 2007 by Bless The Bullys as a way to promote and change the perception of pit bulls. Bless the Bullies is a non-profit rescue based in Tennessee whose mission is to restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
It’s no secret that pit bulls tend to attract negative media attention and, as a result, have a bad reputation among some individuals. On National Pit Bull Day comes the opportunity to advocate against misinformation and for the lives of pit bulls so they are not forever neglected or abandoned in shelters.
National Pit Bull Day is also dedicated to pit bulls, the responsible owners of these dogs, and American Pit Bull Terrier advocates across the country. This is a nationwide effort to increase positive conversations and educate people in our communities about the lovable but misunderstood dogs that are pit bulls.
