KC Pet Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

I follow Brett’s blog, the KC Dog Blog, and\u00a0inadvertently\u00a0tweeted a bunch of his stuff this week!<\/p>\n

Brett is part of the\u00a0KC Pet Project<\/a>\u00a0(no kill shelter). \u00a0He blogged the\u00a02012 Final Report for the KC Pet Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He then blogged about pitties at the shelter, with ‘some positive pit bull press<\/a>‘ and ‘shedding some pounds<\/a>‘. \u00a0Both really inspiring campaigns!<\/p>\n
