October is Pit Bull Awareness Month!

When you hear “Pit Bull,” you might picture a tough dog with a bad reputation.
But here’s the truth—these pups are loyal, loving, and full of heart.
I know this firsthand. One of our family dogs is a Pit Bull mix—gentle, goofy, and deeply devoted.

Meet JIRO—our rescue Pitty and daily dose of joy!

Sadly, too many Pit Bulls are still misunderstood, abandoned, or discriminated against simply because of how they look.
That’s why October, also known as Pit Bull Awareness Month, is such an important time—a chance to shine a light on these incredible dogs, challenge unfair stereotypes, and celebrate their big, beautiful hearts.
 

Drink Coffee. Save Pups.

Today, I want to introduce a company whose mission I absolutely love—
Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co.
This isn’t just another coffee brand.
They use the sale of their 100% organic, fair-trade, eco-friendly specialty coffees to fund rescue organizations that provide safe havens for dogs between homes.
 

☕20% of all Grounds & Hounds profits directly support animal-rescue initiatives—helping fund adoptions, medical care, and shelter improvements nationwide.

Their motto says it all:
Great Coffee. Greater Purpose.
 

Partnering for Pit Bulls: Stand Up for Pits Foundation

For October 2025, Grounds & Hounds has teamed up with the Stand Up for Pits Foundation
—an extraordinary nonprofit dedicated to protecting, advocating for, and saving the lives of Pit Bull–type dogs.

Inspired by a rescued Pit Bull named Angel, the foundation has spent over a decade fighting discrimination and changing public perception through education, activism, and compassion.

Some of their amazing programs include:
🐾 Spay & Neuter Angel Day – providing thousands of free surgeries to reduce overpopulation.
🐾 Angel Grants – supporting rescues that save dogfighting survivors.
🐾 SUFP Serving Angels – delivering meals, enrichment, and exposure for shelter dogs.

They’ve also made history with events like the One Million Pibble March on Washington, D.C., and their signature Stand Up for Pits comedy shows, raising national awareness about dogfighting and breed-specific legislation.

And this month, you can help too!
From October 1 to 31, 100% of profits from every bag of “Rescue Roast” will be donated to the Stand Up for Pits Foundation to support their lifesaving programs.
