What a great day at the MHBTC bully school! We had 13 bullies in attendance! Five of our rescue dogs, Buddie, Beau, Frisco, Dilly and Katie (pictured in their purple adoption bandannas) were present and worked with the different volunteers that attended to help with their socialization. They all did very well and we are grateful for the people that shared part of their Saturday with us! Ziggy (one of the Daisy puppies) and Penny are previously adopted bullies and came with their families and are doing so well in the loving care of their homes. Thor, Snickers, Striker, Angus, Izzy and Lake are all bullies owned by some of our other participants. Striker and his family even met rescue dog Katie and got a long so well Katie went home as a new foster dog to his home! We had a few potential adopters come and visit and it was a great opportunity for them to meet the breed, individual dogs and consider if the breed is right for their homes. I suspect we will see some adoptions in the coming weeks as a result!

We are proud that we are able to help families with their bullies learn how to handle some of their unique character traits and how to "problem solve" those little issues that can come up from time to time. One family that owns a bully had contacted us last week, as their dog is having some new dog to dog aggression concerns. They had never met any bull terrier other than their own and learned a lot from participating in the class with some of our rescue dogs. A private consult will take place at their home this week to help their own dog through her issues with hopes that we can integrate her into the group class next month and make her a better canine citizen in the long run.

Dave unveiled some new t-shirts with his design and we sold half of the supply on the spot! What a great little fund raiser idea.

We hope to see you and your bully at a future session. Bully School, our socialization classes, are held the last Saturday each month from 9am-noon for only $5 per dog. Thanks to all who participated. Can't wait to see you again in March!
