From BAD RAP Blog:
Imagine you're forced to consider giving up your family pet because BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) has made it virtually impossible to find insurance for your dog's targeted breed? And you're getting friggin' desperate. And you know that your local shelter is a dead-end - emphasis on dead - because, who in their right mind wants to adopt a dog with overwhelming state restrictions attached? And rescues are beyond full with dogs they can't place? And you're thinking, "Good god - How can I possibly put my beloved to sleep?"
And you learn about a sanctuary that takes pit bulls. A no-kill sanctuary with a warm and inviting website for your family pet; the wonderful dog that's been your steady and loyal companion for months or years. Would you take him there rather than euthanize him? Oh hell yeah, you would.
You and me, and many, many other people. When we learned that a sanctuary in Trumbull County Ohio had been raided for overcrowding and horrid conditions, it almost didn't land on our radar. But I grazed the seizure photos at the urging of a friend and nearly fell over.

We have just accepted one of the victims of this raid from Trumball County Ohio into our rescue. Helen who was born deaf and was one of the 162 dog seized from this raid in Trumbull County Ohio. The Humane Society contacted us recently asking for our help with Helen since we specialize in the rescue of deaf dogs.
Helen has been in a boarding kennel for the past 7 months since the raid and the Humane Society had been unable to find a home or rescue to help Helen due to her being deaf. We are glad that they reached out to us to help Helen so that we can help her overcome her previous abuse and fear of hands/ abuse so that we can start teaching her sign language and help to ensure she has a happy and safe future.
You can read updates on Helen from our main website located at
