About me:

Our Pit Bull Pet Stars has worked on several independent, student, short films, public service commercials and various print ads. They do volunteer work by visiting nursing homes, schools, functions, and hospitals. Two of our dogs are service animals. We also rescue pit bulls and work with several Dog Rescue agencies. Our animals also are involved in our ADA Seminars.

We're a small and busy organization of pit bull owners, rescuers, and supporters. We evolved out of a desire to respond to the difficult issues facing this misunderstood breed. Our common bond has resulted in a unique and lively community of folks who share some of the qualities of our favorite dogs: fun loving, devoted, spirited and tenacious!

We try through our limited resources to show society that there is more to this breed than what the media portrays them as. We utilize our animals in positive events. Our animals have been involved in different charity events, public speaking events, corporate events and much more. We do everything in our power to positively promote this breed.

Please take the time to enjoy our site and our animals. Not only do we provide information about what our animals do, but we give a brief history of the breed, the myths and other resourceful information. We enjoy hearing any comments from you. Please email us your comments.

Shorty’s Bark Is Bigger Than His Bite In New Pit Bull Rescue Series About Little People And Big Dogs

Premiering January 16, PIT BOSS Embraces the Outcasts of the Dog World

Shorty Rossi’s a little person with a tall order. He runs two operations – a Hollywood talent agency for little people and a pit bull rescue which he holds near and dear to his heart. Shorty has lofty ideas but is armed with a tough, no-nonsense attitude and an entertainment rolodex to help his cause – to rescue and rehabilitate pit bulls and place these “underdogs” in loving, nurturing homes.

Beginning Saturday, January 16, at 10 PM, find out all about Shorty – the PIT BOSS – and his team of cohorts who share Shorty’s passion for pits. Joining forces with Shorty to help with his mission are his employees and fellow little people Ronald, Sebastian and Ashley, who have the biggest hearts for dogs that are often larger than they are. Knowing full well what it’s like to be judged, the foursome takes on the gargantuan task of rescuing dogs in need and raising awareness about the most misunderstood dog – the pit bull.

Shorty’s love for pit bulls dates back to age 14 when he got his first pit – a year after he began living on his own. His pit bull was his constant companion and helped ease Shorty through a tough adolescence. After being convicted for gang-related activities and serving 10 years in prison, Shorty committed to turning around his life; he avows that pit bulls helped make him a better person, and in return, he pledges to help make their lives better in any way he can.

“Pit bulls have a bad rap,” says Shorty, “though they don’t deserve it at all. It’s what people have done to these pits or how they have trained them that caused this horrible misperception. Pit bulls are beautiful and energetic dogs that make wonderful companions and have the ability to bring out the best in just about any one – the elderly, children, the handicapped, and yes... even the little people of this world!”

Shorty began his rescue in 2001, and since then, he, along with his team, works tirelessly to help pit bulls and repair their reputation. In PIT BOSS, follow Shorty, Sebastian, Ronald and Ashley as they hit the streets of LA in their fight to overcome stereotypes – for themselves and the pit bulls they save.
