As the holiday lights twinkle and families gather around warm hearths and full tables, it’s easy to see that Christmas is about more than gifts—it’s about love, compassion, and opening your heart to those in need. At Kennel to Couch, this season reminds us why our mission exists: to stand beside shelter dogs, especially pit bulls, who are still waiting for their second chance.
While many celebrate the comfort of home, countless dogs remain in shelters—overlooked, misunderstood, and too often forgotten. This holiday season, we invite you to join us in giving the most meaningful gift of all: hope.
Our Mission: Standing Up for At-Risk Dogs
Kennel to Couch partners with shelters across the country to sponsor pit bulls and help them find the loving homes they deserve. Through training resources, visibility campaigns, and adopter support, we give these incredible dogs a better shot at a forever family.
But we don’t do this alone.
Honoring Our Shelter Partners This Holiday Season
This Christmas, we’re incredibly grateful for the tireless efforts of our shelter and rescue partners, whose commitment on the front lines is nothing short of heroic. Together, we work to change the narrative for pit bulls—one dog, one family, and one success story at a time.
We proudly partner with the following organizations:
- Friends For Life (Houston, TX)
- The Hero Rescue (Jarrettsville, MD)
- Butte Humane Society (Chico, CA)
- Humane Society of Tampa Bay (Tampa, FL)
- Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) (Philadelphia, PA)
Each of these organizations shares our belief that pit bulls are not defined by outdated stereotypes or misleading headlines—but by their hearts, resilience, and potential to be amazing companions.
How You Can Help This Holiday Season
Christmas is the perfect time to take action. Whether you’re able to adopt, foster, donate, or simply spread awareness, your involvement matters. Here’s how you can support our mission:
1. Adopt or Foster
Visit KenneltoCouch.org/pitbull-adoption to explore dogs sponsored through our shelter partners. Giving a dog a place to call home is the greatest gift of all.
2. Make a Donation
Your financial support helps us continue sponsoring dogs, expanding to new shelters, and offering enrichment and training resources that increase adoption success.
3. Be an Advocate
Share our mission with friends, family, and social networks. The more people who understand the truth about pit bulls, the more lives we can save.
Because Every Couch Deserves a Dog
This holiday season, let’s remember the dogs still waiting in shelters. Let’s advocate for them with compassion, act on their behalf with urgency, and ensure that love, not labels, defines their future.
From all of us at Kennel to Couch, thank you for believing in our mission and standing with us in the fight to save lives.
Merry Christmas—and may the spirit of giving guide us all toward a more compassionate New Year.
