Overview

Pitty Rescue Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a focus on pit bull rescue and pet care education. The organization operates as a multi-species rescue entity, registered in New Jersey and North Carolina[1][2].

Mission and Activities

Primarily, Pitty Rescue aims to rescue and rehabilitate animals, with a particular emphasis on bully breeds. The organization places a strong importance on public education, advocating for responsible pet ownership and promoting the adoption of rescued animals. Pitty Rescue emphasizes the well-being and health of the animals in their care[2][4].

Policies

The organization adheres to a strict screening process for all potential adopters. Animals being surrendered must undergo evaluation, and the organization reserves the right to deny adoptions or surrenders at their discretion. Pitty Rescue is a no-kill organization and does not take in animals that show unprovoked aggression towards humans. They also do not accept stray dogs or provide animal control services[2].

Structure and Governance

The organization is led by its founders, Jeff and Diana Coltenback. As a nonprofit, contributions to Pitty Rescue are tax-deductible, supporting its operations and animal care initiatives[1][4].

Operations

Pitty Rescue relies heavily on volunteer efforts and foster homes to facilitate the rehabilitation and socialization of rescued animals. It has foster locations equipped with facilities such as climate-controlled barns to improve the quality of life for animals under its care[2].

Volunteers participate at their own risk and are required to sign a hold-harmless agreement. The organization encourages community participation by supporting initiatives like "Take Your Walk for a Dog" through partnerships with apps like WoofTrax to raise funds while promoting dog walking activities[2].
