 Community Pit Bull Day
at Herring Run Park
Saturday, June 1
10 AM - 4 PM
Herring Run Park - Woodstock Field
Chesterfield Ave. & Woodstock Ave.
Baltimore, MD 21213

Volunteers are needed for Community Pit Bull Day at Herring Run!

 

You don't have to be an official member to volunteer, and there is no special training required. We only ask that you approach the day with an open mind and non-judgmental attitude.

  

The time commitment is 10 AM to 4 PM. Sorry, no exceptions. This event isn't conducive to breaking it up into shifts. The event is open to the public from 12-3 PM. Everyone must arrive at 10 AM for the morning pow-wow meeting, volunteer assignments and subsequent set-up. We ask everyone to stay until the very end for debriefing.  

 

This is a rewarding and fun experience.  It can also be emotional, but is well worth your time. You're really making a difference in the lives of the dogs and the people they live with! 

 

Please RSVP to [email protected] by Friday, May 24.  Thank you!

Pits & Their People Profile
 Dianna "Di" Matteson & Snorkle

  

  

Di Matteson has served as B-More Dog's Secretary since 2011. Di & Snorkle are frequent attendees at Pit Bulls on Parade, with Snorkle always decked out in a festive costume!  Di tells us how Snorkle and B-More Dog entered her life:

Who knew that a pit bull dog could change a person's life so much?!  Snorkle entered my life when my husband, Bob, and I's 16-yr. old Aussie died almost 5 years ago.  We wanted to rescue another dog and my husband suggested a pit bull because he wanted to help a dog in need.  

 

Beautiful girl!

 

After educating myself about people's misconceptions about pit bull dogs, I found out about B-More Dog online and got involved.   I've learned so much over the course of 4 years and continue to learn on a daily basis about media hype and stereotyping.  I joined B-More Dog to promote the positive side of pit bulls and make people aware that my dog is just a dog, and does the same things as other dogs!

Snorkle and I compete in Rally Obedience where Snorkle holds several titles.  She has done some beginning K-9 Nosework and has dabbled in Agility.  She's not too bad at tricks, too!  We are still working on "fetching a beer for mama!"  Snorkle is also a blood donor with Blue Ridge Veterinary Blood Bank.

Snorkle shares her home with her best friend, RifRaf, a cattle dog mix.  Both dogs were adopted from Howard County Animal Control.

 

Happy 4th of July from RifRaf and Snorkle!
