February 2020 Volunteer of the Month-
Meet Beth!
How did you find out about Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue?
2 years ago, I was at a
Bauhaus Brewery where MPBR was holding an adoption event. I fell in
love with the puppy snuggles and started following their page. Pit bulls
have had my heart ever since.
Why did you decide to volunteer for MPBR?
I started volunteering
with MPBR because I love pit bulls and organizations that help rescue and
advocate for them. My house association has a two-dog policy and since I have
two dogs already, I couldn't Foster but wanted to help any other way that I
could.
How long have you been volunteering with the rescue?
I just recently became a
volunteer actually (February 2020)! 😊

| Kissing Booth |
What was the last thing you volunteered for?
Since starting in
February, I helped as a Handler for a puppy at an adoption event, helped with a
spay vet transport, and my most recent volunteer experience was helping
set up and answer questions at the Kissing Booth! So many people came out to
the event to show their support for the organization; it was incredible!!
Do you have any pets of your own?
Two dogs- Hannah (11
year old German Shepard Chow Chow mix) and Addison (1 year old pittie)
Two cats- Miley (cute
fat chunk 6 year old baby) and Lily (little orange tabby 5 year old baby)
How would your pets describe you?
As a fun mama who gives way too many kisses and snuggles but goes for long walks and has lots of dog park dates.
Where is your favorite dog-friendly place
to take your pups?
Fish Lake Dog Park
because of all the dog friends that are there for my pups to play with. Bauhaus,
Headflyer, Wicked Wort or any other dog friendly brewery :D and Home Depot in
the winter because it's an easy way to get in a good walk when it's too cold to
be outside.
When you're not surrounded by dogs, what can you be found doing?
Eating a burger and
drinking a cold beer with my Fiancé or at the gym trying to burn off all the
beer (balance, right? haha). I can also be found planning my Fiancé and
I's wedding in Maui!!
Do you have a favorite memory that happened while you were
volunteering?
I was Lime's handler at
an adoption event and after the 2 hours she was TUCKED OUT so I got to snuggle
with her in my arms. Puppy snuggles are the best!
Do you have any advice for current or
future volunteers?
If you're thinking about
volunteering, you should jump in and do it because there are pups every single
day who need help. Even if you're busy and think you might only be able to help
a little, a little can still make a huge impact on an animal who needs help. If
you're a current OR future volunteer- you're amazing and I hope you don't stop
trying to make the world a better place for animals. :)

Hi, I’m Pecan 👋🏻 I’m the newest nut to make my way to MPBR. I had to stay in Texas for a little longer than some of my other brothers and sisters so I could be treated for Parvo. I've made a full recovery, am very healthy, and can't wait to meet my forever family.
