Saturday evening there will be a benefit to raise money for the 27 pit bulls seized from a Cleveland based fighting ring in December of 2011.
Badges for Bullies will be holding a benefit on from 6-11 p.m. Saturday at Zone Car Lounge, 1303 W. 58th St., Cleveland. Tickets are $20 and include food, drinks, entertainment, celebrity bartenders and raffles.
Up until recently, these 27 dogs have lived a life of pain and neglect. With the help of local rescue organizations, volunteers are striving to give them the chance to have a life they deserve. Over half of these dogs have been diagnosed with a rare, and lethal blood condition called babesia gibsoni. This disease requires extensive care and treatment to cure.
Proceeds from this benefit will go directly to the care of these dogs.
