Texas Pit Bull Rescue to Get a Sweet Deal

Saving the death row dogs of Texas will be the focus in August for the Rescue Chocolate company, which recently named Don’t Bully Me Rescue (DBMR) as the group to receive a month’s worth of profits from chocolate sales.

Austin, TX, July 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Saving the death row dogs of Texas will be the focus in August for the Rescue Chocolate company, which recently named Don’t Bully Me Rescue (DBMR) as the group to receive a month’s worth of profits from chocolate sales.

DBMR is an Austin-based organization whose mission is to improve the lives of pit bull-type dogs. Its volunteers do so by educating the community about responsible pet care, offering information about spay/neuter services, and fostering homeless dogs until permanent adoptive homes can be found.

Pit bulls often wind up in high-kill animal facilities as a result of raids on illegal dogfighting operations. Few typically make it back out alive. But despite their violent background, many of these dogs can be rehabilitated and transformed into loyal family companions.

“Pit bulls are still so misunderstood,” said Rescue Chocolate owner Sarah Gross. “My own adopted pittie, named Mocha, is the most loyal and loving dog I’ve ever known. Most dogs can be model citizens, with the proper training.”

Rescue Chocolate was founded in January 2010 with the idea that all profits would be donated to animal rescue organizations. To date, hundreds of groups have received a share of the profits, including Red Rover, Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue, and All Fur Love.

However, Gross cautions that while sales ultimately benefit the animals, her chocolate products are only for human consumption. Rescue Chocolate’s bars and truffles are vegan, kosher, handcrafted, and packaged in eco-friendly materials. Additionally, the chocolate used for the bars is fairly traded and certified as organic.

Each Rescue Chocolate flavor is named after an issue important in the world of animal rescue. For example, there are bars called Pick Me! Pepper (urging people to pick out their next four-legged companion at a shelter rather than a pet store), Foster-iffic Peppermint (pointing out the benefits of fostering a homeless animal even if one can’t ultimately adopt), The Fix (emphasizing the importance of spaying and neutering), and Mission Feral Fig (highlighting the humane management of feral cat colonies).

In addition to chocolate, the Brooklyn-based company vends gift certificates, tee shirts, leashes, and animal care books.

Products are sold in retail outlets around the country as well as online. To learn more about Rescue Chocolate or to order products benefiting DBMR, visit www.RescueChocolate.com. For more information on DBMR, visit www.dontbullymerescuetexas.org.
