In celebration of National Pit Bull Awareness Day, Ring Dog Rescue is hosting a series of activities at Plant Zero on October 23. The centerpiece event of the celebration is a roundtable discussion intended to provide insight, education and a place to network for animal welfare advocates.

“In Defense of Dogs – An Evening on Animal Welfare” is a public event, featuring a night of notable speakers in animal advocacy, along with food, beer, and wine to facilitate networking and mingling between local animal lovers. There will also be a special appearance by Gracie, one of the former Michael Vick dogs. With two high profile dog fighting cases pending in our local area, the time could never be better for an event which educates the public and honors these unjustly maligned animals.
