Pit Bull Rescue Gets Creative For Its First Fundraising Gala

Online, January 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - California Pit bull Rescue (aka CPR), a new nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and improving the lives of pit bull type dogs and their guardians, is hosting its premiere fundraising launch party in Alameda on Saturday March 02.

California Pit bull Rescue was organized for the purpose of rescuing at-risk "pit bull" type dogs and facilitating social change to abolish the abuse, overbreeding and miseducation surrounding the breeds. CPR plans to achieve these goals through a statewide fostering network, fundraising programs, educational initiatives and financial/physical support for needy guardians of pit bull type dogs. CPR will also be establishing a sanctuary for pit bull type dogs, which will ease local municipal shelter burdens and provide community support for responsible dog guardianship, as well as a forever home for those deemed "unadoptable."

The CPR Fundraising Gala launch party will be held at Autobody Fine Art Gallery in Alameda (1517 Park St) and will feature complimentary on-site training consults from K9 Kommitment, live music with DJ Malachi, punk rock burlesque performance from the Can-Cannibals, "pittie kissing booth," silent auction, food and wine. Artwork from local artists will also be available for viewing and several of the CPR adoptabulls will be on site for meet n' greets.
