"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all

living things, humanity will not find peace.”

-Albert Schweitzer

Augustus

Augstus is a 11+ DEAF chow who was found wandering the streets. He also had ear infections, bad teeth and a laundry list of medical issues. DBMB pulled him from the animal hospital that had put a limit on his life and is taking acre of him and giving him love.

Daisy, Paolo, Tumbler and Zoe are pigs that all lost their home when the sanctuary they were living at was

forced to close due to the economy.*

Dont Bully My Breed is fostering them until they find permanent homes.

with their expenses.
