PEACE LOVE AND PIT BULLSRescues, Trains, and Places Pit Bulls—One at a Time!
The American Dog reports Photo courtesy of Peace Love and Pit Bulls We featured Tino Sanchez and his Pittie crew 3 years ago in The American Dog Magazine Winter 2009 Issue. They were in our “Dog Parent Family” section. Back then, he had his Pittie 4-pack of Buster, Shorty, Boo-Boo, and Rocky. Fast forward to December 2011: He just rescued Buddy from the shelter, so there are 5 canine kids all wanting dad’s attention now! Tino started his nonprofit, Peace Love and Pit Bulls (PLP), in January of 2010 and says, “I have always wanted to do something to help Pit Bulls. After years of procrastinating I saw a video about a Pit Bull named Stanley and I thought, ‘I can do that. I can save one Pit Bull at a time.’ And that’s what the pack and I do. Because my dogs are so well behaved, I can bring pretty much any dog into my home and they fall in line very easily because the bar is set so high by the PLP Pack.” Tino has pulled and rescued four Pit Bulls from the kill shelter in Las Vegas, Nevada. “The first one was Bailey (hers is the first video on www.peaceloveand-pitbulls.org), then came Daisy. Third rescue was Coco who was only with me for one day, and Buddy who has become a part of the Peace Love and Pit Bull family. He was a special case because he was very shy, very timid, and I wanted him to go to a very good home. But, after a year of living with him, I decided to make him a part of the pack,” Tino explains. But there have been many other Pit Bulls that Tino has helped place in their forever homes and he has provided training for many dogs who haven’t lived with him. “Peace Love and Pit Bulls is here to save one dog at a time by pulling a dog from a kill shelter and bringing him or her into my home to live with me and my pack. The rescue dog will then get involved in the PLP boot camp, and after the course, I will be placing a well-socialized and well-behaved Pit Bull in a good home,” Tino says. Peace Love and Pit Bulls is excited to be teaming up with Heaven Can Wait Animal Society and plans on helping to spay and neuter 1000 Pit Bulls by the next national Pit Bull Awareness Day in 2012. “It’s all about training and saving more Pit Bulls, and our mission of PLP is to repair the reputation of this misunderstood dog and reduce the number of Pit Bulls in local shelters,” Tino says.
