Yvette,
Dora and Coco
OH BOY NEW DIGS!!!!
This is a gang in Camden NJAFA "takes care
of"...Yvette, the owner, (who just came out of
the hospital and cannot separate two large dogs
that have frequent altercations;
 Dora,
the mastiff, who we had spayed and even
supplied a dog house for her (after taking
off the back fence just to fit it in) and
replacing the fence....
Add to the mix, Coco, the pitbull, who was
dumped on Yvette by her nephew because Coco was
too "old" and he 
didn't want her anymore. Yvette did NOT want to
take Coco to the shelter and have her put down
and all she needed was a "cage" to keep them
separated.
 Because
of our limited funds for our summer program
services due to our major fundraiser of the year
being cancelled, we did not have money to
purchase a new crate.
 Thanks
to fellow pb lover, JR who donated AND DROVE
the two very large crates for Dora and Coco to
our house so we could deliver them to Camden the
next day.Thanks to John and so many others for
reaching out to NJAFA.
Yvette is going to help NJAFA at the next rabies
clinic in Camden to say "thanks".

Baltimore Chosen for Pit Bull Fundraiser due to Pending
Breed Specific Legislation
January 31, 2008 — Pinups for Pitbulls, the nonprofit
organization founded by pinup model Deirdre 'Little Darling'
Geurin dedicated to saving the lives of abused and abandoned
pit bulls, will be holding a silent art auction and raffle
on Friday, February 22, 2008 at the Sidebar in Baltimore.
The event will promote the sale of the 2008 'Pinups for
Pitbulls Calendar' featuring models and their pit bulls, as
well as featuring Baltimore bands The Dead End Boys, Empire
by Design, The Side Affects and Pessimist Parade. Wilmington
artist Ric Frane has also donated prints of his artwork for
auction. Pinups for Pitbulls has raised nearly $10,000 from
2008 calendar sales and fundraisers to assist bully-friendly
rescues with funding for dog crates, food, blankets, foster
care and transportation.
The city of Baltimore has been chosen as the final
fundraising location for the 2008 Pinups for Pitbulls
calendar to raise awareness about pending breed-specific
legislation. If passed, this would declare all pit bulls as
"dangerous" solely because of their breed. The bill would
require owners to keep the dogs caged, muzzle them outside
cages and post property signs that read "Pit Bull Dog" or
"Beware of Dog." Violators would face up to $1,000 in fines.
The undue stress and heartache families of these dogs face,
due to exorbitant licensing and extreme care requirements,
is cause for some to say the legislation is
unconstitutional.
Pinups for Pitbulls is dedicated to helping homeless pit
bulls and removing the stigma from the breed because of
irresponsible and abusive pet owners. Pit bulls are loyal
family members, have been war heroes and American icons such
as Petey from the Litte Rascals, The RCA dog Nippy as well
as Helen Keller's service dog.
Little Darling has been featured in broadcast interviews
about her organization and its mission on CBS-3/KYW TV and
the Philadelphia morning show Cn8 as well as print
interviews in the Philly Daily News, The Trentonian and
more. For more information and to see a list of rescues that
have benefited from the organization's efforts, please visit
www.pinupsforpitbulls.com or email Little Darling at
pinupsforpitbulls@gmail.com. A complete press kit will be
available soon.
Pinups for Pitbulls is not an actual shelter or rescue so

"Out in
Jersey" Magazine Article
One Lucky Girl
By
Mike Kellerman
In our current cynical
age, very few news stories are able to serve as a source of
inspiration or hope. The rescue of Cha Cha the pit bull just happens
to fall into that category. To put it quite simply, Cha Cha is one
lucky pit bull. Originally, she was being used for dog fighting,
until Kevin Charles of Camden City rescued her from that life,
tended her wounds, and gave her a loving home for the next ten
years.
Sadly, in December
2006, Kevin was rushed to a hospital up north due to complications
from AIDS, and Cha Cha was left on her own. Kevin’s aunt called
Kitty Bodeep of Audobon, NJ, a longtime rescuer of animals. She, in
turn, notified Kathy McGuire, President and Founder of NJ Aid for
Animals (NJAFA), who placed Cha Cha at Halo House Boarding Kennels
in Franklinville since the NJAFA foster program was full at the
time.
Cha Cha had several
medical issues to contend with, including an infected paw and
mammary tumors. However, Kitty Bodeep paid to have her spayed and
her tumors removed. During this time, Kathy McGuire visited Cha Cha
fairly regularly, and the search for a new home for Cha Cha
continued.
Finally, via McGuire’s
connections, Cha Cha was accepted into Out of the Pits, a non-profit
that rescues abandoned pit bulls. Cha Cha has since been adopted by
the Mansfields of Vermont and enjoys life on a 33 acre farm. She has
certainly been to hell and back.
