Pits for Patriots is a Chicagoland based organization who’s training team is currently training rescued pit bulls to become service dogs, therapy dogs, emotional support dogs, skilled companion dogs, companion dogs and working dogs for veterans and first responders in need. The dogs also help increase the clients comfort with their socialization skills and ability to go out in public calmly. Our s

ervice dogs can help with opening and closing doors, turning on and off lights, retrieval of items, pushing buttons, carrying back packs and small packages, assisting clients with mobility and balance problems as well as assist with tasks for those in a wheelchair. The service dogs are able to wear a harness for clients with severe balance and mobility issues alleviating the use of a cane in many instances. Pits for Patriots also trains mental health assistance dogs for those that suffer from PTSD, anxiety and depression. These dogs are trained to help with panic prevention, deep pressure calming, backpacking medications and information, boundary control, anxiety alerts, and nightmare interruption. . They will also help the client with grounding and social interaction skills. The dogs are trained to be “seen and not heard”, for example when entering a restaurant the dog will go under table and not react to the public. Our dogs are CGC certified as well as being held to the strict standards of ADI. Pits For Patriots is currently involved with education to the canine, veteran, and first responder communities. We participate in many events to educate the public about the devotion of the pit bull breed. We are also dedicated to spreading awareness to the needs of our military and public service personnel. We provide education and in-service programs to hospitals, restaurants, public facilities, airports, and medical providers about service dogs, the laws, and the benefits to being a service dog friendly institution. Pits For Patriots clients receive training on how to handle public access concerns and confrontations, as well as advocates to help clients that come across problems in community. The recipient of a Pits For Patriots dog receives that dog at no cost. All training is funded by private contributions and donations.

Please keep Bode in your thoughts and prayers. He is having some severe GI issues.
The good news is there is no solid mass felt on his re**al exam, so we are currently treating for colitis. Oh and he HATES the Propectalin. We always knew he wasn’t going to be an easy one if he got sick, however he is a completely different dog down here at the vet and is quite the champ.

Run Free Patrick.

I’m so heartbroken to tell you all Patrick has gotten his wings. Per Dr Scavelli and his wife Patricia.
Today we said goodbye to Patrick “the Miracle Dog”!
Patrick was starved and thrown out like he was garbage but he survived. He lived another 15 plus years until today when his body could do no more.
Patrick loved people despite the abuse he suffered at the hands of a few bad people. He thrived and inspired us all to be better. Thank you to all of his followers on Facebook, this is the end of his story but the beginning for many others. Love you, Patrick!

We need to remember the promise we made.

Today the Pits for Patriots crew said see you later to our precious Hazel Grace. Today was a good day filled with love, kisses, visiting family and friends, and STEAK. Say hi to the PFP pups waiting for you on that side of the bridge, from all of us still on this side.

Run free beautiful girl.
