Lovers Not Fighters Pit Bull Rescue Hosting Halloween Raffle

PORTLAND, OR — Lovers Not Fighters Pit Bull Rescue is hosting a raffle through Halloween. All monies will be split 50/50 between Lovers Not Fighters Alumni Walter of the Blue Quintet and the Lovers Not Fighters Community Outreach Fund.

Among the raffle items are a few items of Hauntingly Awesome Art, Face Envy Killer Care Lot, Spooktacular Jewelry Set, Bootiful Jewelry Set, Canine Surprise Trick or Treat Bag, Human Surprise Trick or Treat Bag and Kitchen Ghoul. Check out the full list of raffle items on the Lovers Not Fighters website. There will also be a couple of surprise Trick or Treat Bags too. Raffle tickets are $5 each.

Walter is a Lovers Not Fighters alumnus who has a number of vet bills and needs surgery on his right leg. You can read all about his situation and donate at www.youcaring.com/LNFAlumniSurgery.

"The raffle will also go toward providing a few monthly spay/neuters and basic vetting (vaccines and microchips) to a few community pibble owners who could use an extra hand to ensure their pups are health and able to stay in the home vs being surrendered to a shelter," Lovers Not Fighters outlined on their website.

Lovers Not Fighters is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and advocating for homeless, neglected, abandoned and abused pit bulls and pit bull type dogs. The nonprofit also strives to "educate and bring about positive awareness to these breeds through community outreach and education."

The Lovers Not Fighters website includes a section where you can apply to adopt or foster a pit bull. There are a few things to keep in mind if you're thinking of fostering or adopting a pibble:

• You have to be 21 and older
• Yards must be 100% secure with a 6' fence. If you're doing work to improve your yard, the group is open to hearing your plan to keep your dog safe in the meantime.
• You have to fill out the application before meeting with one of the dogs. Lovers Not Fighters doesn't have a public facility and filling out the application helps foster moms and dads ensure that your home would be a good fit for adopting or fostering a pup.
