At Kennel to Couch, our mission has always been clear: to give at-risk pit bulls the second chance they deserve by removing barriers to adoption and supporting them on their journey from shelter to forever home. Today, we’re proud to announce our latest life-saving partnership—with the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
This exciting collaboration will allow us to sponsor pit bulls in PAWS’ care, helping them gain the visibility, support, and resources they need to find loving families. Together, we’re making it easier for these often-overlooked dogs to be seen, chosen, and welcomed into the homes they’ve always deserved.
A Shared Mission Rooted in Compassion
PAWS is Philadelphia’s largest rescue partner and a nationally recognized leader in animal welfare. Their commitment to lifesaving rescue, affordable veterinary care, and public education aligns perfectly with Kennel to Couch’s breed-focused advocacy.
Now, by working together, we’ll be able to shine a light on the pit bulls in PAWS’ care—many of whom face long shelter stays simply because of outdated stereotypes.
What Kennel to Couch Sponsorship Means for PAWS Pit Bulls
Each pit bull sponsored by Kennel to Couch at PAWS will receive:
Increased visibility through our national network of supporters and followers
Enrichment support to keep them mentally and emotionally well during their shelter stay
Ongoing post-adoption resources to help families succeed long-term
Breed advocacy and education to challenge harmful myths and promote pit bulls as the loving companions they truly are
Our sponsorship helps bridge the gap between shelter life and a successful adoption by giving each dog the individualized support they need to thrive.
Why Focus on Pit Bulls?
Pit bull-type dogs are among the most commonly found breeds in shelters—and unfortunately, they’re also some of the most misunderstood. Due to years of misrepresentation and breed-specific discrimination, these affectionate, intelligent dogs are often passed over in favor of more “popular” breeds.
But those who know pit bulls know the truth: they are playful, deeply loyal, and full of love. With proper care and a stable home, pit bulls make extraordinary family members. Our mission is to make sure they’re given the chance to prove it.
Stronger Together: Creating a Path to Adoption
By teaming up with PAWS, we’re expanding our impact in a city that sees thousands of homeless animals pass through its shelter system every year. PAWS’ dedication to rescue and community outreach, combined with our breed-specific support model, creates a powerful partnership rooted in the belief that every dog matters—regardless of breed.
This partnership is about more than just adoption—it’s about advocacy, education, and helping dogs and people succeed together.
