WHO WE ARE

Smiling Dog Rescue began in Jan of 2007 when a precious smiling pit came up for euthansia at a kill shelter in Az. This inocent boy brought awareness of the enormous number of Pit Bulls whose lives tragically end in high kill shelters. To date SDR has rehabilitated and re-homed over 1000 unwanted, stray and abandoned Pit Bulls and bully breeds in Southern Arizona. SDR is committed to reducing the number of homeless, relinquished, abandoned and needlessly destroyed dogs. We advocate spay/neuter and responsible Pit Bull ownership as well as battling backyard breeding, dog fighting and inhumane treatment of these wonderful dogs... SDR seeks to educate the public about the true nature of Pit Bulls, which is one of the most loving, loyal and affectionate breeds of dogs you'll ever meet and to restore the breeds former position of esteem in the American houshold.
