How We Got Started

Toledo's Pet Bull Project, formed by passionate pit bull owners, dog enthusiasts, and trainers, addresses the pressing issues of animal cruelty prevention, dog education, and dog training. Our mission is to combat dog fighting, promote spaying and neutering, and provide complimentary training to foster responsible ownership and advocacy for all dog breeds.

Rooted in Community Spirits

Our dedicated volunteers and trainers, deeply rooted in the community, are committed to giving back by assisting dogs and their owners. As an education-focused organization with a dog rescue program, we collaborate closely with local veterinarians to tackle pet overpopulation.

Prioritizing Youth Education

In our efforts to curb dog fights, particularly targeting misunderstood breeds like pit bulls, we prioritize youth education. By instilling values of compassion and empathy, we aim to eradicate animal cruelty and promote responsible ownership.

Through diverse programs tailored to our mission, we strive to make a measurable impact in advocacy, compassion, and rehabilitation. Explore our website's program pages to witness the transformative effects of our initiatives.

Impact

Toledo's Pet Bull Project is committed to outcomes because we are serious about making a difference for the pets and people that we serve. Each program has been strategically designed and is regularly evaluated to ensure that it is making an impact for our mission.

Programs that do not make a measurable impact are adjusted or replaced with programs that are more effective. Measuring impact is the cornerstone of our organization, and our supporters have direct access to our "Outcome Plan" an open-source plan for fulfilling our mission.

WHAT WE MEASURE

Primary Measures
  • Number of reported dog abuse and dog neglect cases in the area we serve
  • Number of reported dog bite cases
  • Dog fighting related crime
  • Area Teen Violence/Crime
  • Local Teen Graduation Statistics
  • Local Teen Employment Statistics
  • Number of dogs given to shelter
  • Number of dogs adopted from shelter
  • Number of dogs spayed/neutered and dog populations
Indicator Measurements
  • Number of Dogs Trained
  • Attendance at Teen Center
  • Program Attendance
  • Program Evaluations
  • Teens Reached
  • Owners Reached

We regularly evaluate data both individually and collectively. Some of the data we collect are indicators (such as number of dogs trained) to a more meaningful outcome such as reducing neglect and abuse. Each program has individual evaluations to measure how successfully it is impacting the efforts of the organization as a whole.
