Pints for Pits
On Saturday, May 16th, 2020, Pet Tales Rescue in conjunction with Grand Rapids Harley Davidson will hold its seventh annual "Pints for Pits" fundraiser and community outreach event.
Pet Tales Rescue is a small, all volunteer, foster-based rescue located in West Michigan. We network with many other groups and rescues throughout Michigan and several states to optimize our resources.
In 2019, we helped over 470 animals from Michigan, Alabama and Texas. It takes a village to help that many animals across that many miles.
Grand Rapids Harley Davidson is generously partnering with us to raise necessary funds for our rescue efforts, as well as standing behind us in our belief that pit bulls and "pit bull types" are dogs; just like a Labrador, shih tzu, or a golden retriever. All of which make wonderful family members, are deserving members of society that add joy and value to people’s lives, and all of which reflect their upbringing.
