Barbells For Bullies

Barbells For Bullies Barbells For Bullies is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to fostering a fitter and pittier community Now the next question: Why Barbells for Bullies? Absolutely not!
(1)

Barbells For Bullies is an organization dedicated to help assist and save the misunderstood bully breeds in all their forms. We also endeavor to get pets of all kinds into loving and caring homes, and work with local charities and rescues to make this come to fruition. Localized in the CrossFit community, Barbells For Bullies holds fundraiser fitness competitions, with workouts inspired by these t

ough but playful dogs. All net proceeds go directly to bully breed rescues, dog rescues, or other non-profits which work to help our four-legged friends. Do you only help pit bulls? And this is a common misconception. While "pit bulls" are a very common bully breed - arguably the poster child - and are usually either an American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, "bully" breeds include Boston Terriers, French, English, and American Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Cane Corsos, Rottweilers and even Pugs! Bully breeds are more pervasive than you think! And anyone that has spent time with them knows they are doting, loyal, and loving animals. Our mission is to permeate that message, and assist in the adopting and fostering of them so we can help more. We host events all over the country, so if you want to get involved, or host us; please get in touch with us here or [email protected]!
