About Wallace

Wallace was a shelter dog turned disc champion.  He was targeted for euthanasia, but shortly after Wallace went into foster care it was discovered that he really like to catch Frisbees.  In his second year in the sport, Wallace won the 2006 Cynosport World Games, and the next year he won the 2007 Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Championship for flying disc, changing minds one disc at a time.  He traveled the country competing and showing off his athletic abilities, proving that he deserved the chance he was given.   In his retirement, he was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and transitional cell carcinoma, two aggressive cancers. He far surpassed the predicted life expectancy, and his fans enjoyed the extra time he was given while he worked his way through his bucket list of adventures. Wallace got to ride in a motorcycle sidecar, wade in the ocean, play fetch through the mail with MLB pitcher Mark Buehrle, and even meet Betty White!  Read his book "Wallace: The Underdog Who Conquered a Sport, Saved a Marriage, and Championed Pit Bulls-- One Flying Disc at a Time".  

 

Wallace's body is no longer with us, but his spirit and legacy live on.  Wallace the Pit Bull Foundation was created to improve the lives of dogs, and the people who help them.  We strive to preserve and promote Wallace's story, as well as other underdogs making a positive impact in their communities.  Our fundraising efforts provide resources to help homeless dogs be cared for until they can find a home, as well as improve facilities and fund programs devoted to dogs in need.
