We're excited about the kickoff of our Community Advocacy Meetings with HSUS this week! Will you be joining us on Tuesday in Baltimore? Make sure to RSVP. Meetings are now scheduled throughout the state from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore! See below for the rest of the locations, dates and times.
We have many events on our calendar over the next few weeks. We hope you will consider volunteering your time at Community Pit Bull Day and don't forget about B-More Dog's 6th Annual Pit Bull Awareness Day Halloween Celebration!
Support a local business and B-More Dog during the month of October!
Cats Love Naps is generously donating a portion of their proceeds during the month of October to B-More Dog.
Makes a perfect holiday gift! Order these adorable handmade beds for cats and small dogs online today!
Thank you,

P.S. Remember - it's not too late to help continue spaying and neutering Baltimore's pit bull dogs! You can still make your tax deductible donation HERE.

Community Pit Bull Day

Contact [email protected] if you can help!
There are many volunteer opportunities available at Community Pit Bull Days: Spay/Neuter outreach, photography, hospitality, registration, vet techs and more! 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 10:15 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.
This is a rewarding and fun experience! You will truly make a difference in the lives of the dogs and their people!
We can't do it without you!

B-More Dog & HSUS
Community Meetings
As part of B-More Dog's ongoing efforts to fix the "pit bull law", we have teamed up with the Humane Society of the U.S. to co-sponsor a series of regional meetings throughout the state of Maryland. Join us to build a strong and united front for the 2014 Maryland General Assembly Legislative Session.
At the community meetings, we will discuss: the Tracey v. Solesky court ruling, how it affects Marylanders and the difference between Dangerous Dog ordinances and civil dog bite liability. Most importantly, learn how you can work with lawmakers to change the law in 2014!
Baltimore Area Meeting
When: Tuesday, October 15, 2013
6-7:30pm
Where: Junior League of Baltimore
5902 York Road
Baltimore, MD 21212
Additional meetings are scheduled in: Silver Spring, Hagerstown, Cumberland, Waldorf, Ellicott City, Easton and Leonardtown. Click HERE for the schedule.
Make sure to visit HSUS and find the link to RSVP for your meeting!
This is the first step. To succeed in 2014, we must be well-informed and united!

Pit Bulls on Parade
Join B-More Dog on Sunday, October 27, to celebrate Baltimore's 6th Annual National Pit Bull Awareness Day. We will show the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland what a REAL pit bull looks and acts like- loyal friend, treasured companion, well-behaved family member.
Costumes encouraged! We'll meet at 11 AM by Rash Field, next to the Rusty Scupper restaurant and continue at a leisurely pace around the Power Plant and back.
All well-behaved dogs (and people!) are welcome. You don't have to have a pit bull - or even a dog - to walk with us.
