Detroit Dog Rescue

It was around 12 o'clock. I decided it was time for little Onyx to have lunch. I walked upstairs and went into the kitchen. I pulled out a bowl for his food and went to go inform Onyx that I was making his lunch. As I walked by the family room, I took a quick glimpse at the TV. Something caught my eye. The TV was on a news channel. I watched for a second; a news anchor was interviewing a woman who was sitting next to a dog. I couldn't pull my eyes away. I was too intrigued.

The interview was with the founders of Detroit Dog Rescue, a newly founded site to help bring awareness to the stray dogs in Detroit. Monica Martino was one of the founders, she produced and created multiple award winning television shows and had attempted to produce a new show called: A Dogs Life. A Dogs Life was going to be a show about the stray dogs in Detroit, but the city shut it down. So she and Hush, the other founder of Detroit Dog Rescue, created the website to help bring awareness. Hush is a Rapper, producer, and actor. He is also an activist in the community dedicated to a better Detroit. So the two teamed up and made this website.

After having watched this for a few minutes, I knew I had to find out more! Sorry Onyx, but your lunch will have to wait a few more minutes. As I watched I learned that they were initially trying to open Detroit's first NO KILL shelter, but there was a problem. They need $10,000 to open the shelter. They need help!!! They need money! I decided I needed to learn more, but first I would feed Onyx his lunch.

Once Onyx was fed, I flew down the stairs in a rush to visit their website! I spun my chair around, hopped in it then typed www.detroitdogrescue.com into my computer. The first thing I noticed about the website was the header, with a beautiful Bully breed on it! I looked at everything. I read and read. This was a cause I wanted to support. No, needed to support. No, HAD TO SUPPORT! I must donate, and this is where the Be The Change challenge fits in. For Sell Your Stuff, Save A Life, this is where I will donate! To find out more about Sell Your Stuff, Save A Life read this post. It has all the info.

So, now I knew where I was going to donate, but I also needed to write a post. Get the word out about the Detroit Dog Rescue. So much I needed to do. . . well, I can't do it alone, so here is the question: Can you and will you help? PLEASE!? Visit their website and if you can, donate! Even $5 helps, and please share!! Share, share, share, share! On Facebook, on Twitter, on your blog, anywhere! JUST SHARE!

Thanks for reading! Miah Rae

This is great! You may also be interested in Pit Bulls: Villains or Victims. The whole book is great ammunition against BSL, and it makes a case for the danger in targeting the dogs when it is really the people who would abuse these dogs that are dangerous to our communities, especially to our children. The book started out as a master’s thesis for a forensic science program, so it is well-researched and documented. I have to admit I edited it, but I really did learn a lot about the issues surrounding pit bulls and how detrimental to our society these laws are.
