Red, White and Bully Event Promotes Bully Breed Adoptions

Submitted 

Collier County Domestic Animal Services (DAS) is promoting the adoption of bully breed dogs during the month of July. All bully breed dogs can be adopted for only $25. Some of the most common bully breed dogs are American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer, American Bulldog, and Bulldogs.

“We see a lot more bully breed dogs at the shelter than any other dog,” said DAS Director Darcy Andrade. “I am hopeful that this promotion will help shine a positive light on these great pets and find many of them a forever home.”

DAS takes in close to 3,000 dogs each year. Of those, a large majority are mixes of bully breeds. Statistically, bully breeds take a much longer time before they are adopted.

Adoptions are usually $85, but during July, all Bully breeds and mixes are $25. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccinations, Collier County license, 30 days of free pet insurance, microchip and more. It’s a value of over $400.
