Change of Heart Pit Bull Rescue,[object Object],Online Orientation,[object Object]
What COHPBR is About…,[object Object]
Education,[object Object],In order to change the future for this misunderstood breed we must educate the public by developing programs, games, and contests that create a lasting interest in our message. ,[object Object]
Responsible Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Placement ,[object Object],Proper evaluation prior to rescuing a dog is a priority. We do not accept aggressive dogs.  ,[object Object],Volunteers assigned to evaluations/pulling rights are properly trained prior to the assignment. ,[object Object],Rehabilitation is important for many dogs that come into our rescue. It is our responsibility to make sure the dog is healthy and of sound mind prior to adopting out to the public. ,[object Object]
Actions,[object Object],Taking pride in the way we speak out about the breed, remembering to be respectful to others views, remaining professional in tough circumstances, and realizing that the actions we take on every task is alwaysunder a microscope. ,[object Object]
Expertise,[object Object],Become knowledgeable on the breed history, ask questions, discuss, read, and learn about solutions for different issues. ,[object Object],Become an expert! You will be asked questions at events. The public expects you to know the answer. You are a voice for the dogs.,[object Object],The more we know the more we can help change the future image of this current holocaust. ,[object Object],We want to erase the current fears and the misconceptions people have about this breed! Let’s change some hearts!,[object Object]
Safety,[object Object],The most important factor in rescue is the safety of our volunteers, dogs and the public. Please keep this in mind during adoption events, expos, etc. ,[object Object],There is NO room for error when it comes to safety! ,[object Object]
COHPBR Safety Rules,[object Object]
Rules 1-5,[object Object],Proper collars for events are martingales, prong collars, and fitted nylon collars for puppies and seniors only- unless otherwise noted. ,[object Object],Collars must be properly fitted and in great condition.,[object Object],Leashes must be intact and every dog must have their own leash. ,[object Object],No more than 2 dogs out at one time while at large events.,[object Object],Dogs attending large events must be dog friendly or very well mannered.,[object Object]
Rules 6-11,[object Object],Only experienced volunteers will be permitted to remove dogs from crates at large events.,[object Object],Many other rescue groups have had “run-aways”. Be prepared for a dog to run into our booth.,[object Object],Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. ,[object Object],Remember: Just because our dogs are well behaved does not mean others are.,[object Object],Do not attempt to introduce dogs at a hectic event.,[object Object],If there is ever a sign of aggression get a more experienced volunteer to help.,[object Object]
What is a 501c3 Non-Profit?,[object Object],We are an approved non-profit organization which means we operate solely on public donations. ,[object Object],Without the help of the public and their support we would not be able to save lives, educate, and place these dogs.,[object Object]
Where do donations come from?,[object Object],Warehouses ,[object Object],Companies (large and small),[object Object],Public,[object Object],Fundraisers ,[object Object],Online (ChipIn, PayPal, etc.) ,[object Object],Advertisements ,[object Object]
Importance of Advertising,[object Object],We must continuously advertise through various outlets!,[object Object],The internet is the easiest and fastest way to reach the most people. Social networking sites, such as Facebook, help us spread the word about our organization, fundraise, and promote events. Classified websites, think Craigslist, also get the word out to potential adopters and donors. ,[object Object],As a volunteer, you should become a walking advertisement. Word-of-mouth advertising is still one of the most effective ways you can spread our mission and get others involved in our area. ,[object Object],Without advertising, no one would know who we are. We would not have sufficient funding and it would be impossible to place our dogs.,[object Object]
What kind of donations do we need?,[object Object],Collars ,[object Object],Leashes ,[object Object],Metal bowls,[object Object],Kennels,[object Object],Crates,[object Object],Fencing materials for kennels,[object Object],Tags for identification ,[object Object],Flea and tick meds (Advantage/Frontline - Costco sells a 3-pack of Advantage for 36.99),[object Object],Beds,[object Object],Blankets,[object Object],Potty pads,[object Object],Toys,[object Object],Food,[object Object],Treats,[object Object],Funds for vet bills (People can donate directly to Dr. Butchko to help with vet care),[object Object]
Our Foster Program,[object Object],We are dedicated to making sure the animals we choose to accept into our program are of healthy minds. We are focused on creating a better image for this misunderstood breed. As a foster all you would need to provide is a safe, loving, and responsible temporary home for the foster dog. COHPBR will provide all supplies necessary to care for the foster dog. COHPBR covers all medical expenses. As a foster we do ask that you be able to take the foster dog to any veterinarian appointments the foster dog may need. Fostering can be a very rewarding experience. ,[object Object]
Importance of Appearance,[object Object],Pit Bull paparazzi is always out there! They are waiting for a reason to snicker. Don’t give them a reason to!,[object Object],Please remember we represent this breed and we have a small window of opportunity to change someone’s heart. ,[object Object]
Participation at Events	,[object Object],Booth space can be limited. The more volunteers we have, the better prepared we may be, as long as we are all working at specific task.,[object Object],Events need to be organized, fun, and professional.,[object Object],If we have 10 people and 10 dogs in a 12’x12’ booth there will not be very much room. If this is the case, we will assign shifts and specific assignments during larger events.,[object Object],Being prepared and organized before a large event is important. ,[object Object]
Foster-to-Adopt Program,[object Object],This program is specifically for those who are unsure which dog they want to adopt. ,[object Object],This is also something we prefer to do. It gives both the dog and adopter the opportunity to get used to one another before an adoption is finalized. ,[object Object]
Importance of Home Checks,[object Object],Animal Abusers,[object Object],Dog fighters,[object Object],Hoarders ,[object Object],Responsible person?,[object Object],Stability of home?,[object Object],Fence,[object Object],Busy street,[object Object],Balcony,[object Object],Heat location,[object Object],Hazards ,[object Object]
Hazards,[object Object],Poisonous bushes,[object Object],Sharp objects (Example: at home tattoo set-ups),[object Object],Air conditioner has no fencing,[object Object],Holes in fencing ,[object Object],Aggressive dogs at the home,[object Object]
Get to Know Potential Adopters,[object Object],Why do they want to adopt a pit bull?,[object Object],Do they own there home?,[object Object],Do they have H.O.A.?,[object Object],Did they give the landlords contact information?,[object Object],Is their home set up realistically for the dog of interest?,[object Object],Energy level matched?,[object Object],Other dogs disposition?,[object Object],Kids behavior, if any?,[object Object],Ask questions!,[object Object],Talk about the dog and any issues that could arise. What will they do?,[object Object]
Specific Questions to Ask Potential Adopters,[object Object],Where will the dog be while you are at work?,[object Object],How long will the dog be alone?,[object Object],What will you do if the dog chews a hole in your couch or mattress?,[object Object],If the dog has a potty accident?,[object Object],Gets into poisonous cleaning supplies?,[object Object],Shows signs of dog aggression in public places?,[object Object],Landlord changes their mind about pet policy or pit bull policy?,[object Object],Separation anxiety?,[object Object]
It is OK to say, “NO!”,[object Object],It is o.k. to tell a potential adopter, “No!”,[object Object],Follow your heart. We want the absolute best for these dogs! Do not settle for less!,[object Object],It is exciting to get a potential adopter but sometimes people rush into adoption or a pet purchase and they do not have a stable plan in place for the animal’s future. ,[object Object],Please keep in mind, this is why many dogs are in the shelters being put to sleep on a daily basis. Also, not every adopter is going to return the dog to us regardless of the application/contract out of embarrassment or whatever it may be. Our priority is the safety of our dogs. We will always say, “no,” more then we do say, “yes.” ,[object Object],Strict, strict, strict!!!!,[object Object],We do not bend to make it work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ,[object Object]
