In the realm of tattoo artists, Brandon Bond is one of the most
well-known and sought after; his skills with ink are undeniable
and virtually everyone knows that he can do a killer tattoo.
However, what few know is that Bond is also in the business of saving
pittbull’s lives. After three of Micheal Vick’s abused pittbulls
were sent to the Georgia SPCA, two of them have now found new
care at Bond’s All Or Nothing Pittbull Rescue, where they have
gone under a great deal of rehabilitation. After an intensive twoweek
long training program, Bond claims that the former Falcon’s
abused dogs have come a long way and are already responding to
voice commands and general training.They have begun to wag their
tales and seem generally excited about everything. Bond adds,
“Rescued dogs are the most loyal animals on earth.They are thankful
just to be fed.” And these aren’t the only two pitbulls Bond has
rescued and helped turn into loving pets; the All Or Nothing Pitbull
Rescue has rescued and saved over 200 pitbulls to date.You can
see pictures of Vick’s rescued dogs, as well as press conferences
and streaming video of Bond at Atlantapitbullrescue.com.

About me:
"To Hell And Back" is a vivid, behind-the-scenes look into the lifes of several rescued abused pit bulls and the process of reaclimating them into the world. This documentary shows the truth about pit bull rescue, Breed Specific Legislation, breeding, and abuse. Featuring tattoo artist Brandon Bond (two time international "Tattoo Artist of the Year" and owner of the renowned ALL OR NOTHING TATTOO[http://www.allornothingtattoo.com ] studio) as well as his family and staff, we witness their heroic efforts to save the misunderstood American Pit BullTerrier Breed (APBT) from neglect and abuse as well as breed-specific persecution. The film begins with "Annie Oakley" (a horribly neglected and abused pit bull) She was scheduled to be euthanized and the cameras follow Brandon and his wife ashley into the kill shelter to rescue the young dog. "To Hell and Back" features many celebrity pitbull owners, like Danny and Debbie Trejo(k9 Compassion) and Michael Berryman. These movie stars were already been very involved in working with rescue groups,and speaking out for the protection of abused and helpless animals.This film focuses on many rescued pit bulls all over america, several of Brandons own dogs, and a surprise appearence of several of the "Vick Dogs". The documentary also follows Makaveli, 7, and Chucky (3 dogs confiscated from the property of Michael Vick) through the chaos that surrounded their rebirth into loving situations. The movie also shows the process of Brandon adopting Makaveli. Proceeds for this film will be going to Villa Lobos Pitbull Rescue. http://www.vrcpitbull.com
A massive reason for not breeding your dog is that there are so many others looking for homes. That thousands of perfectly rehomeable dogs including puppies are put to sleep in pounds across the country purely because there aren’t enough homes for them all.
If you breed your dog just once and the resulting puppies are bred, and their puppies are bred, and so on, within 6 years you will be responsible for up to 67,000 dogs just because you bred from your dog once!
Why Neuter?
-Spaying completely eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle.
-Neutering completely eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
-It can stop females having phantom pregnancies, mood swings and bleeding.
-It can stop males straying, humping and being frustrated...
-Breeding from your female dog just once increases her chances of ovarian cancer by 7 times
-On average a neutered dog lives 2 years longer than an un-neutered dog
-Millions of pounds of your taxes are spent on dealing with the problem of unwanted animals.
-Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks.
-Stray animals get into rubbish bins, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and frighten or anger people who have no understanding of their misery or needs.
"I would like to commend you on your commitment to rehabilitating fighting dogs"
"Your continued involvement with placing pit bulls throughout the state is an undeniably selfless act and you are an inspiration to all of your fellow Georgians".
-Senator Doug Stone

Thought you'd appreciate a photo of our (late but great pitty Girl "Trix") Playing with my cat. We rescued her about 12 years ago in Maine. She was one of the gentlest babies in the world (she passed away in December). Our youngest pit we lost to kidney disease a year earlier (she was only 9). After we move, we'll be on a search for another rescue pit, once we have a bigger yard! Best to all! ~Natasha
