BullyWag, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charity as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. We are licensed by the Department of Agriculture in the State of Georgia.
BullyWag, Inc. began as mother and daughter wanting to do more to help change some people’s opinion of pit bull-type dogs. As time progressed, we became disappointed and frustrated with the huge numbers of pit bull-type dogs (or dogs that “look” like pit bull-type dogs) being euthanized in the state of Georgia. We then decided that our efforts should be somewhat re-focused to provide a positive look at pit bull-type dogs – promoting and highlighting their outstanding qualities. (Pit bull is a term often used to identify several breeds including The American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, Miniature and Standard Bull Terriers.)
We do not have an actual sanctuary or shelter structure at this time, so we are unable to take in owner turn-ins or found dogs. The dogs that we do have for adoption are either in boarding or in a foster home. Ideally we would love to be able to take in every bully we come across, but we can only do so much at this time. We support and participate in dog transport which enables the dogs to travel state-to-state for rescue. If you are looking to rehome your dog, keep in mind that most legitimate rescues/shelters require that vaccinations be up to date and the dog must be spayed/neutered. You must be responsible for your pet by taking care of the basics to ensure the safe and successful rehoming and/or adoption of your pet.
We are committed to saving our beloved canine friends, especially the beautiful bully breeds. The BullyWag statement “Save a Pit” is simple and to-the-point. The statement will also be “Save a Pit, Give a Life” when necessary.
Our purpose is:
- to assist individuals and rescue groups in finding pit bull-type dogs responsible and loving forever homes;
- to provide useful resources to educate the community;
- to support humane euthanasia, STOP all use of gas chambers as a solution for pet overpopulation, with the ultimate goal of creating a No-Kill society; and
- to help restore the pit bull image as “America’s Dog”
