Love-A-Bull Presents NATIONAL PIT BULL AWARENESS WEEKEND!!
Please join Love-A-Bull in welcoming Best Friends Animal Sanctuary's famous dog handler John Garcia to Austin on the weekend of October 24-25, 2009, to participate in a weekend of family-friendly events in Austin!
John is nationally known for working extensively to rehabilitate 22 of the 49 dogs (now affectionately referred to as the "Vicktory Dogs") seized from the bust of the Michael Vick/Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting ring. He is best known for his work and public appearances with Georgia, a sweet, 7-year old toothless female pit bull who, despite being a victim of cruelty and abuse, responds with love to all she meets.
