Dear Friends –
In September, we hit another milestone – 100 dogs and puppies saved since Covid began in March! That makes 136 total lives saved as of today!! We will continue to share exciting news, needs, updates and more over our social media, but this will be the last newsletter of 2020!!

We are still in desperate need of fosters for adult dogs. Fostering not only saves lives, it will give you purpose and passion and we need you!! We provide everything you need to foster for us and you become part of the Love-A-Bull family. Will you help us? Click HERE to learn more and fill out an app.
