Pittie in Pink Supports Animal Welfare Efforts

Pittie in Pink is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating Pit Bull-type dogs.

Their mission is to provide a safe haven for these dogs, many of whom are abandoned or neglected due to misconceptions about their breed.

Pittie in Pink works tirelessly to educate the public about the Pit Bull's gentle nature and to promote adoption over buying from breeders.

By doing so, they help reduce the number of Pit Bulls in shelters and increase the chances of finding forever homes for these loving animals.

The Pittie in Pink fundraising event is a unique way to support a great cause. The event is held annually in April, coinciding with National Pit Bull Awareness Month.

Pit Bulls are often misunderstood dogs, but they're truly loving and loyal companions. The event aims to raise awareness about the breed and promote adoption of Pit Bulls from shelters.

A portion of the event's proceeds goes directly to supporting local animal welfare organizations, making a tangible impact in the community.

The Humane Society Fur Ball is a signature fundraiser that has been raising major money for the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region for 26 years.

This year's event, "Pittie in Pink", raised over $630,000. The fundraiser had a unique theme, with guests encouraged to wear special '80s pink attire.

The event featured a "Pet Parade" where adoptable pets walked the runway with sponsor volunteers. All 17 animals from this year's Fur Ball were indeed adopted.

Among the adoptable pets were three gentle pit bulls, including Jelly, a 5-year-old who loved cuddling with guests and getting belly rubs. Two other pit bulls, 11 weeks old, were also adopted, and their cute names were Chicken Nugget and French Fry.
