TURKEY is another @standupforpitsfoundation HOPE CAMPAIGN precious soul we are featuring in hopes that some lucky human will give him the life he deserves. He is one of the #great108 dogfighting survivors and is blind. SUFP’s 20k donation to @bark_nation is helping with much needed medical treatments and spays & neuters. Today we received an update on Turkey (swipe left) and could not be happier he is one step closer to his happily ever after. Turkey is located in Detroit, MI. If you are interested in adopting or you are a rescue wanting to partner with @bark_nation to take on survivors of abuse, neglect and dogfighting please email [email protected]. Thank you @mikeruizone for the stunning photos, to all who support the work SUFP does and to @bark_nation for their dedication to these inherently good souls. We as a society must do better. If you see or suspect someone is preparing to or is fighting dogs, please do something. Thank you. #standupforpits #sufphopecampaign2022 #enddogfighting #adoptTurkey #detroit #betheirvoice #inherentlygood #pitbulltypedog #mikeruiz #barknation #reportdogfighting https://www.instagram.com/p/CaK_fZ0lGep/?utm_medium=tumblr

6/8/17@detroit_pit_crew_rescue Remember Logan ? The abused pit bull . He is recovering and in a much more playful mood now as he awaits adoption at the Lenawee Humane Society. The 1-year-old dog was taken in more than a month ago by us at Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue. A monster had chopped off the tops of his ears, destroyed most of his teeth by grinding them down to his gums and had left the emaciated dog with a scar across his abdomen. “We think they were going to use him as a bait dog (in dog fighting) because he couldn’t bite back,”!!! Several thousand dollars were raised to remove 26 of Logan’s damaged teeth and to repair those that could be salvaged. He was transferred Wednesday to the shelter in Adrian, which has had good success in finding homes for abused pit bulls. Logan only can eat wet food at present, but eventually will be able to eat hard, kibble food. His adoption fee to a person who goes through the approval process is $125. Although he has not shown any aggressive tendencies, staff said he should go to a home that does not have other dogs. They added that Logan has had his shots, is neutered and microchipped. #AdoptTheSpecialOnes#Survivor #enddogfighting#detroitmichigan#detroitpitcrewrescue#detroitpitcrew#rescued#logan#dogs#pitbulls#specialdogs#dontbuywhileshelterdogsdie#adopt#baitdogsurvivor (at Detroit, Michigan)

ERNIE is another 2022 SUFP HOPE CAMPAIGN inherently good soul being featured in hopes that rescues around the country as well as adopters will take on and adopt victims of abuse, neglect and dogfighting. These amazing dogs continue to prove that while they have been horrifically victimized by the evils of humanity, their spirits cannot be broken. The @standupforpitsfoundation contributed $20,000.00 to help cover the care of the over 108 survivors in @bark_nation’s care and remain committed to telling their stories because they matter and deserve loving dedicated homes just like all dogs do. Please read more about the beautiful ERNIE below and also follow and support the great work @bark_nation is doing for survivors. Thank you to @mikeruizone for once again donating your time and talents to SUFP Hope Campaign. These photos are exceptional and capture their beautiful souls. #standupforpits #sufphopecampaign2022 #enddogfighting #reportdogfighting #educate #advocate #endabuse #pitbulltypedog #inherentlygood #adoptThurman #angelforever #detroit MORE ABOUT ERNIE⤵️ Ok, we know what you’re thinking. How can one dog be THAT cute?! Trust us - we have asked ourselves that same question every single day since November 16th, when we first laid eyes on this chunky buckskin dog with the squishiest face we’ve ever seen. Sweet Ernie is a volunteer favorite at our #pitnessprotection shelter. He is everything we want people to think of when they think of survivors of dogfighting. Ernie is brave and resilient. He LOVES cuddling with his people. He loves his snacks and he loves his toys. This kid is everything that’s right with the world, and how lucky are we to be able to share him with you?! Ernie’s past life was a life full of pain and loneliness. There are no winners in dogfighting - only victims. We are so happy that Ernie is now spending his days with us, and the best is yet to come for him in his #lifeafterdogfighting! We are looking for a foster, adopter, or transfer placement for Ernie.

CADET KELLY is another 2022 SUFP HOPE CAMPAIGN inherently good soul being featured in hopes that rescues around the country as well as adopters will take on and adopt victims of abuse, neglect and dogfighting. It’s tough doing this but doing nothing is not an option. These amazing dogs continue to prove that while they have been horrifically victimized by the evils of humanity, their spirits cannot be broken. The @standupforpitsfoundation contributed $20,000.00 to help cover the care of the over 108 survivors in @bark_nation’s care and remain committed to telling their stories because they matter and deserve loving dedicated homes just like all dogs do.

Animal Control responded to a call at a location, where Kelly was found in a dog house behind another deceased dog. Immediately after bringing her into our care, she was assessed for her multiple medical issues - dehydration, emaciation, skin conditions, tumors, and more. Kelly started receiving around the clock treatment from our medical team and is recovering well in a foster home. She is reported to love snuggling on the couch, and is as sweet as can be. Kelly has some more healing to do, but can be transferred to a partner or placed into a foster to adopt home.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CUTER HEAD TILT? THURMAN is another 2022 SUFP HOPE CAMPAIGN inherently good soul being featured in hopes that rescues around the country as well as adopters will take on and adopt dogfighting survivors. These amazing dogs continue to prove that while they have been horrifically victimized by the evils of humanity, their spirits cannot be broken. Thurman is one of the “Great 108” lucky enough to be rescued. The @standupforpitsfoundation contributed $20,000.00 to help cover their care and remain committed to telling their stories because they matter and deserve loving dedicated homes just like all dogs do. Please read more about Thurman below and also follow and support the great work @bark_nation is doing for survivors of abuse.

He comes out of his kennel SO proud to show you all his toys and can't wait to eat snacks with you in your lap. He wants to sit right by you (or on top of you) and get his daily massages and tell you all the things that have happened in his kennel since he last saw you. It's truly his favorite part of the day. Thurman currently shares his room (separate kennels) with his best buddy and fellow survivor from #thegreat108, Clarence. We like to think that when we tuck them in for the night, they stay up late playing on their Nindendo Switches and trading baseball cards. We don't know if that's really what happens, but we CAN tell you that Thurman seems to want to get to know other dogs.  We are looking for a foster, foster to adopt, or adopter for our very best boy.

Please take a moment and enjoy another 2022 SUFP HOPE CAMPAIGN inherently good soul by the name of JACK. Jack is being featured because our hope is that rescues around the country as well as adopters will step up for dogfighting survivors. These amazing dogs continue to prove that while they have been horrifically victimized by the evils of humanity, their spirits cannot be broken. Humans who force dogs to fight till the death are dangerous and should be removed from society, not the voiceless and helpless victims they terrorize from the moment they are born until they are barbarically murdered. Jack is one of the “Great 108” lucky enough to be rescued. The @standupforpitsfoundation has contributed $20,000.00 to help cover their care and are committed to telling their stories. They all matter and deserve loving dedicated homes just like all dogs do. Please read more about Jack below and also follow and support @bark_nation. Thank you to @mikeruizone for once again donating your time and talents to help dogs in need. These photos are exceptional and capture the soul of sweet sweet Jack. #standupforpits #sufphopecampaign2022 #enddogfighting #reportdogfighting #educate #advocate #endabuse #pitbulltypedog #inherentlygood #adoptJack #angelforever It was a chilly fall morning when Bark Nation arrived at a suspected dogfighting property. At the back of the yard, we saw a small, curled up, black pit bull riddled with scars. Our team scooped him up, named him Jack, and brought him back to our shelter. Instantly, he showed us how grateful he was to be rescued. It's no secret that Jack is a volunteer favorite, and anyone that meets him can immediately see why! His adorable little ears, the way he tap dances when he sees you coming to take him on a walk, the way he cuddles in your lap for attention... we could go on and on. Jack's ideal home will be one where he is the only four-legged family member to enjoy everything life has to offer. His perfect owner would share their pizza, spend lazy Sundays snuggled on the couch, and let him show you how cool he thinks his toys are.

The Crack Pack - 2021 As I progress on this journey of my life.... I never would have thought I would leave an incredibly stable and comfortable job in State Government to be a professional pet photographer..... but alas here I am. It took a lot of confidence building to get here... but I will never look back now. Photographing pets and pets with their people...... sigh, I can't even begin to describe how amazing my job is. I never knew it would take me down a road of rescue and pet welfare and pet photo fundraisers.... and then meeting people that I now know as friends. So many wonderful people, so many amazing souls... Here is one of them. With her crew. While this is only one person, she represents a whole team of people I love so much. An exceptional crowd of humans that day after day make HUGE sacrifices to save the lives of innocent animals. She represents everything good in this community and the fierceness within this bunch to take down those that harm animals. Whether it is cruelty, dogfighters or even our own municipal shelters neglect and abuse.... She represents the good work being done in Metro-Detroit and I am forever grateful to be able to call her and others my friends. #enddogfighting #endanimalexploitation #endanimalcruelty #detroitdogs #detroitpetphotography #detroitpets #michigandogphotographer #michigandogphotography #michiganpetphotographer #michiganpetphotography #michiganpets #michiganphotographer #petphoto #petphotographer #petphotography #petportrait #rufflife #rufflifepetphoto #rufflifepets #rufflifephoto #petoftheday #petlife #petlover #petlovers #petsofinstagram Ruff Life Pet Photography www.rufflifepetphoto.com Michigan Pet Photographer (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWM9H0zrYtf/?utm_medium=tumblr
