Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Bella's Bully Buddies is an all volunteer, non-profit organization whose mission is to rescue "pit bull" dogs from abuse, neglect and abandonment. While the dogs are in our care, we provide excellent nutrition, training and enrichment, veterinary care and lots of love in our network of foster homes. Our goal is to find each and every one of them a forever home where they will be loved as a part of the family for the rest of their lives. Through everyday interactions and community events we work to educate the public about the loyal, intelligent and loving nature that make "pit bull" dogs wonderful companions and family members.
