What is National Pitbull Awareness Month?

National Pitbull Awareness Month celebrates these often-misunderstood dogs and works to counter negative stereotypes. It highlights that pit bulls are loyal, affectionate companions that score remarkably well in temperament testing. First held in 2007 by the organization Bless the Bullys, it promotes responsible ownership, adoption, and a fairer reputation for the breed.

How to celebrate
