Because Discrimination Bites

"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 misconception. 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!"

What makes Shorty's Charities unique? Is it not just another Pit Bull Rescue? Those of us who love the breed
understand the passion behind wanting to fight for this underdog but what makes Shorty any different from the
rest of us? His unique perspective on discrimination, stigma and stereotypes.

Knowing full well what it’s like to be judged, his passion lead to the founding of Shorty's Charities with a goal of
raising awareness about the most misunderstood dog – the pit bull.

The goal of Shorty's Charities is to:

• Fund the efforts of groups, determined by our Board Members, that rescue, rehabilitate and rehome pit
   bulls and other bully breeds into loving, nurturing homes.
• Pit Bull Advocacy and Education
• Participate in Public Speaking Engagements to low income neighborhoods
• Advocate Against Breed Specific Legislation
• Offer Spay and Neuter Fund for Pit Bulls
• Provide an Emergency Veterinary Fund for Pit Bulls in need as determined by our Board Members
• Seek out and educate Pit Bull Breeders to inform them of their contribution to the homeless Pit
   Bull Population
• Guardianship Support Program to keep our Pit Bulls where they belong by providing food, veterinary care
   and training to qualifying individuals.
• Educational and Informational Resource for responsible Pit Bull Guardianship

Shorty's Charities is in the process of seeking IRS recognition as a charitable corporation (501c3 designation) but in
the meantime will fund these efforts through the contributions of supporters, profits from Shortywood Productions
and your generous gifts to Shorty's Rescue.

Creating a strong voice against stereotyping and stigma. We do not seek your pity and don't appreciate your
prejudice. We are here to help one discrimination case at a time through education, enlightenment and to fight, if
necessary, for the underdogs of the world.

Shorty's Rescue does not operate as a 501c3, nonprofit rescue group, but we are not for profit. Shorty's Rescue is
funded through Shortywood Productions. A portion of gifts given to Shorty's Rescue are donated to
Linda Blair's WorldHeart Foundation, Karma Rescue, Doors of Faith Orphanage and Furbaby.

Shorty's Rescue does not have kennels or boarding facilities. All pit bulls that are rescued are either fostered to
individuals or placed in rescue shelters such as Linda Blair's facility.
