Wallace the Pit Bull Foundation Supports Others
WTPB Foundation raises money to help dogs in need. Below are some of the recipients of our efforts!
Court Case Dogs
It wasn’t long ago that Chicagoland animals seized from neglectful or criminally charged owners were viewed solely as evidence. They were rescued, but then languished in a cage until their owners’ court cases concluded. Unlike their owners, these dogs did the time, but not the crime. After they satisfied their evidentiary role, typically they
were euthanized.
The Court Case Dog Program was a first step toward justice for these animals. What began in January 2010 as a partnership between Safe Humane Chicago, Best Friends Animal Society and CACC to advocate for,
support and re-home these animals is now a thriving program managed by Safe Humane.
WTPB Foundation was happy to give a $5,000 donation to Safe Humane Chicago as a result of our WOD for Dogs Fundraiser, as well as foster a court case dog until it finds its forever home.
Play Yard Construction
Kennels can be a stressful environment for a dog to live day in and day out. One of the best forms of enrichment and stress relief is to allow play groups for the dogs to socialize, exercise, and burn off that excess stress. Play groups help keep the dogs more adoptable while they are waiting for a home.
WTPB Foundation was happy to give New Mexico Pets Alive and combined $10,000 as a result of our 2013 and 2014 WOD for Dogs fundraiser to help construct play yards for the dogs they take in. NMPA is striving to be a model for other organizations to help them utilize play groups at their facilities as well. Check out the gallery under projects to see pictures of some of the dogs that benefitted from these efforts!
WTPB Foundation plans to continue to support organizations that need help constructing or fixing play yard areas to continue these life saving activities.
WOD for Dogs
WOD (Workout Of the Day) for Dogs is a national fundraiser where gyms (mainly CrossFit ones) workout to raise money for homelss dogs. In 2014, WTPB Foundation donated over $20,000 to shelters and rescue groups that partnered with a local participating gym. Anybody can join and donate!
