Porter with complements on both
his handsome appearance and
gentleman like behavior. His
manners are impeccable! He lies
quietly in the kitchen and
watches while we prepare dinner
and then follows us to the table
only to lie at our feet. No begging
or drooling! He is wonderful.
Porter loves spending time laying
around in our backyard but, only
if we are out there. He does not
like to be left alone. He requires
an audience. We look forward to
many years with Porter at our
side or should I say heel.
Thank you to all those, (Jane,
Lauren, and Sandy) that made
Porter's transition into our home
a happy and successful one.
Porter, formerly known as
Poncho, has been a welcome
addition to our household. He
has provided us with so much joy
and love in the short amount of
time he has been a part of our
family. Porter is very routine
oriented and loves his daily walks
and feedings. He lets us know
it's time by giving us constant,
"high fives". Porter is a quick
learner and has responded well
to commands. He is so eager to
please, a trait we have learned
makes training much easier, not
that he has required much. He
came to us already house-trained
and now he is crate-trained and
heel- trained as well, thanks to
Glen (my husband). Porter takes
his cues from our Chihuahua
mix, ZuZu. He looks to his little
big sister for guidance. Glen and
I play the role of proud pet
parents when passerby's lavish

“The fact is that big dogs are more
powerful and can
inflict more
damage. That doesn’t mean they
are more
aggressive or dangerous. It
means owners
need to be more
responsible.”

WAYS YOU CAN HELP...
AN EXCITING DEVELOPMENT FOR US...
GREAT NEW BOOKS with RESCUE PITS
for educational opportunities on
this wonderful breed. In this
process, our name will be
changing to SAVING GRACE PIT
BULL RESCUE. Eventhough our
location will be the same, we
needed to be able to separate the
business aspect of Lollipop from
We have decided to apply
for our 501c3 status, not
only for tax exemption
purposes, but to be able to
attend more social events
that requires this status.
We will be able to go to
places such as PetsMart
the non-profit status of Saving
Grace. We will also have a new
website called:
www.savinggracepitbullrescue.org.
You will find our adoptable dogs,
contact information as well as
several great resources that will
help familiarize and educate
yourself on the pit bull.
North Vet Hospital which helps provide spay/neuter, vaccinations and any other health-related issues that arise with one of our dogs
6. Make a donation to HF & C feeds to Lollipop Ken-nels account which helps us feed all of the dogs
7. Donate bleach, laundry detergent, fabric softener or blankets
******All other donations are greatly appreciated to help with the daily expenses of the kennel; however, we are not an official 501c3 organization and therefore it is not tax deductible. We are working on this application. ****** WE HAVE LIMITED SPACE AND ARE COMPLETELY FULL. WE ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL RES-CUE AND CANNOT ACCEPT
ANY DOGS AT THIS TIME.
1. Become a foster parent 2. Come walk & love on the
dogs 3. Sponsor a dog for $20 a
month which covers food and toys. We will send you a framed picture (please come and see them)
4. Donate bones & raw hides
5. Make a donation to Sandy Reed’s account at Acres
Neecie was a recent rescue with a great personality. A sweet girl named Lauren adopted her. She had the following to say about her: “Neecie has been great.
She hasn't had any accidents in the house and is very obedient. She is eager to please and I have already
taught her to sit and lay down. She does very well on her walks and has shown no aggression at all when introduced to other dogs. She also loves to follow me everywhere I go
in the house and lays down next to my feet when I'm watching tv. She has also done great with crate- training, although she hated going in at first. Her favorite toy is the rope toy and she will sprint around the yard with it. It's actually really funny! She has been such a sweet dog and loves everyone, and loves licking. She is definitely the companion I was looking for!”
II. In 2000, 13 pit bulls were
involved in 8 fatal attacks. That is
roughly ONE dog out of 204,000 or
0.000385% of the pit bull
population.
III. It is estimated that 5,000,000
dogs per year are killed in shelters.
Since in many places pit bulls make
up 30-50% of the shelter population,
and are less likely to be considered
for placement than any other breed,
I. Although there are no accurate
or census records for dogs in the
U.S., in some populations pit bulls
are estimated to comprise some 30-
40% of the dog population,.
Considering that there were an
estimated 53,000,000 dogs in the
U.S., and assuming that pit bulls
make up 10% of that population,
there would be approximately 5.3
million pit bulls in our society.
guessing that 25% of
those dogs killed is a
reasonable estimate.
Therefore, it can be
assumed that perhaps
1.25 million pit bulls
are killed
per year.

(if you need education material
on this subject, we can provide
it for you). Indoor homes are
always preferred. There is
always a possibility of a home
check to ensure these dogs are
placed into a loving and healthy
situation. Please see our con-
tact information to get an
application or to set-up an
appointment to meet one of
the dogs. All available dogs can
be viewed on our petfinder
website. Also, please contact
us if you ever have a pit bull
related question that you think
we can help you with. We
want to help our fellow pit bull
owners keep these dogs in
their forever homes.
We have an adoption
application that must be filled
out. Once the application is
approved, there is a $100
adoption fee which covers our
dogs spay/neuter, rabies
vaccination, heartworm/tick
screen and microchip. All dogs
must be kept in a secure,
fenced yard and not tethered

Alaska’s 1st certified hearing dog.

before she was going to be
euthanized. They scanned
her microchip and sure
enough it went back to the
girl that adopted her from
us. There is a reason Sandy
Kenya was originally
adopted several years ago
from Lollipop, but her
owner decided to give her
up because she was moving
out of state. She was
supposed to return her to
us, but the owner claimed
she ended up finding a
"loving home" for her. A
short time passed and she
was picked up by Lubbock
Animal Control in a hotel
room where she had been
abandoned for days. It just
so happened that Sandy saw
her in the shelter right
saw her that day and she
was rescued once again. She
came from an irresponsible
breeder, but she was one of
the lucky few who had the
experience of a loving
home for most of her life.
She is now in desperate
need of a loving home again
where she can finish her life
in a safe, peaceful place. If
you are willing to provide
this for her or are willing to
foster her so she does not
have to live the end of her
life in the kennel please
contact us.

We are a trio of friends that have bonded to-
gether through our love for dogs. Within our group, we have a groomer/boarding kennel owner, a vet tech and a pharmacist with a love
for animals. We have multiple conformation and obedience titles between us, which gives us a great insight in to the soundness of tempera-
ment and structure in the dogs we rescue. We live in a city that has a huge over population issue in dogs, and a lack of city budget to help
remedy the situation. Our local shelter does the best they can, but are in constant need of outside help to get the huge number of dogs, especially pit bulls, that come through their
doors get placed. We are a rescue contact for our city shelter and do the best we can to help these deserving dogs get homes. We have no
outside funding, so we are only able to take on a few dogs at a time due to budget restraints. We want the dogs we rescue to end up in for-
ever homes; therefore, we are particular about where these dogs go.
