After all 48 dogs were evaluated; the USDA gave permission to the rescuers to transfer the remaining 16 dogs who were not yet adopted. Three of those dogs were taken by rescue groups to the east coast and the other thirteen were loaded up in a rented RV and headed west with the Bad Rap team. This was by no means an easy mission. They also had to be very careful of their route and which towns they drove through, because many towns have breed specific legislation in place against pit bulls. After a long trek across country, with many stops lasting hours to insure all dogs got walked and relived themselves, the team finally made it to the San Francisco Bay Area.

I'm blown away by the extremes of what people do. Thank goodness we're not all bad and that some are angels.

The breed specific legislation (BSL) that made it dangerous to travel with these dogs exists not only in communities with breed bans, but also in homes and apartment complexes across the country. Countless Pit Bulls die without a chance to be adopted because of landlords who do not allow tenants to have them. If this discrimination could be alleviated, many, many more would be saved. USAA and Farmers are both Pit Bull friendly companies that offer homeowners insurance!

You guys did a really good thing. You could probably have used more help! The dogs look really happy on their big adventure- as if they'd never been abused at all! Just goes to show you the true nature of the bully dogs- another fine example of man's best friend.

thank god for wonderful and patient people like you for doing what needed to be done to give these dogs the lives they deserve. i'm an avid football fan and was absolutely disturbed at what vick did with his power and money(in which all of it could have been spent on a Charity). his life will never be the same as he will always be looked down upon for this but at least the lives of these wonderful dogs will be long happy ones thanks to you angels. God bless all of you!

Your hearts are the most huge of all! In a year of financial ruin and war, this story is so wonderful. Having a Pit myself - abused, beaten and adopted from a local shelter - I know how misunderstood these animals can be - but she is loving and wonderful! Thank you for your huge efforts and sacrifices for these animals. Boodogsbud

Please be aware that USAA has changed their policy. They NO LONGER INSURE homes with German Shepherds or Pit Bulls. Ironic considering how many Shepherds have served their country.

I think the courage and dedication you have is remarkable. You took on this challenge, and made a real difference in these animals lives. Kudos to you and your volunteers for a great job helping these dogs from a deadly fate! Hopefully, they can totally forget the cruelty they had to go through, and live a good life- wendy mize

People are nuts.Pits should have a good rep too!Banning pits is like bannning canadians from america!

This brought tears to my eyes. I have always only heard bad things about the breed in general but, as I visited the shelter here a couple of years ago I met the most wonderful loving pit bulls and have had full support for the breed ever since. This is just astonishing how far truly wonderful people will go to save these beautiful innocent creatures. Thank you for being such angels.

You know, if there weren't some people who do not understand the word KINDESS then pit bulls (and/or german sheperds) would be freely welcomed in all places! DOGS ALL THE WAY!

That should have never happened to those dogs. They are all BEAUTIFUL. I'm glad they are in better hands and yall did a wonderful job!

Thank you for being so kind to these dogs, and thank God for people like you. Just from the look on the faces (on the video and photos), they look so happy and loving. And to think that they've been treated badly, and probably seen humans being cruel to other dogs on the Vicks estate, yet are now still so trusting of humans, and so loving...it just shows that dogs are made of bigger things than humans could ever be. Thank you once again.
