Bully Walk in Downtown Charleston

Join SC Pit Bull Rescue for our monthly Bully Walk with the Pit Chicks. September's Bully Walk will occur in Hampton Park in downtown Charleston on Sunday, September 06, 2009 from noon - 1:00. We will begin walking promptly at 12:00 PM and walk for about an hour, making a circle back to where we began walking. ALL DOGS ARE WELCOME. The Bully Walk is not limited to only "Bully breed" owners. The purpose of the Bully Walk is to bring together responsible pet owners and their dogs to walk and bring positive awareness to good dogs owned by normal people. There are no fees, no membership requirements, and no registrations. The following common sense rules will be strictly enforced to provide a safe, fun environment to everyone who joins us: 1. Absolutely NO retractable leashes 2. One dog per person 3. Any dog that exhibits dog aggression, even mild or occasional dog aggression, should wear a RED scarf, handkerchief, or piece of cloth tied to the collar. The owner should make sure to bring the red material to the bully walk.

Rain dates for our Bully Walks always occur on the following Sunday (2nd Sunday of the month), at the same place and time as the originally scheduled Bully Walk. *We would like to assist owners with challenging dogs by offering guidance and assistance. Our walks are open to dog aggressive dogs in order to promote socialization to a dog who would otherwise not be able to socialize. A a red scarf is REQUIRED. If your dog exhibits dog aggression and you do not have a red cloth to distinguish your dog, you will be asked to leave. The purpose of the red cloth is to alert other dog owners about your dog's challenges. Other dog owners will approach with caution with their dogs and make sure your dog-aggressive dog is treated respectfully. This method has been successful in the last five Bully Walks and will continue to be successful as long as everyone adheres to the rule.
