It was an amazing celebration for all who played a role in making that horrible pitbull ban disappear! Thank you Pet Unity Project and Councilman Edward Burroughs for your strong leadership and courage to undo what should have never been done! We will have safety for all pet owners. Be the change you seek! It’s Implementation Time! It was an ending and a new beginning all in one! Let’s head to the PG County Shelter we got some sweet souls to save! ❤️#petunityproject#puppy#pitbulls#dogsofinstagram#americanbully

Just a reminder that you have more power than you think you do. 4 years ago I had no idea what I was doing. Honestly I feel like I still don’t. I didn’t even know I was going to be testifying. But now I know my voice matters. And this November my voice and many others made a difference. Today that difference is enacted as law. It doesn’t always feel like it, but we hold the power. We are resilient, strong, smart, soft, compassionate, empathetic, discerning, talented, caring people. I am so grateful for the community we have built, for the skills I have picked up along the way, for the education I have developed. I feel vulnerable as hell posting this but I’m working on doing things scared so here we are. Happy Black history month and happy PG BSL repeal day 💜

🎉 PG COUNTY BREED BAN REPEALED 🎉 Effective today, 2/2/26 And during Black History Month, no less 💜 After nearly 30 years, PG residents can now legally own or foster any breed, including pit bulls. Dogs are evaluated by behavior, not appearance, with an emphasis on education, safety, and shared responsibility. What this means for our community: • Fair, consistent rules for all dog owners • Support for responsible pet guardianship • A safer county built through prevention, not punishment What pet owners should know: • Dogs must be licensed • Leash and containment rules apply county-wide • Force-free training and early support make a difference PG PUP is here to support you: • Free Pet Parenting Class (force-free & bilingual): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbWAif_Jgxg • Dog licensing (required in PG County): https://individualanimallicense.princegeorgescountymd.gov This moment belongs to all of us. Save this, share it, and help a neighbor stay informed.

You’ll be able to tell once you start seeing it.
It’s there.
How do they talk about people? Do they talk about people at all?
How do they frame pet guardianship? Is there only one “right” way? If someone has a decent following and posts regularly, but hasn’t mentioned anything recently, just notice that. Be mindful of it before you hit follow moving forward.
Once you see it, it’s hard to unsee. There is almost always another account with similar content that does align with your values and deserves your support. If you have the time, look up a popular account you don’t align with (for example, ICE). On their page, IG will show you followers you have in common. This gives you a chance to do a quiet “audit” of who you’re following and what they may be supporting. Yes, sometimes people follow accounts to stay informed. That’s different. You can usually tell who’s observing versus who’s aligned. You hold the power here. Let this be a reminder to uplift and amplify the people who consistently speak out on important and uncomfortable issues - not just when it’s easy. And to be clear: this is largely directed at white people and white-led organizations. People of color have been doing this work for a long time. When we’re silent, it’s often because we’re exhausted from speaking up, being ignored, silenced, or gaslit.

If you know us, you know this is part of a bigger message - but we wanted to break it down to its simplest form. Pets depend on people. And right now, too many pets are paying the price for broken promises and careless decisions. Under this administration, families are losing housing, income, and stability - and pets are among those who suffer. Dogs left behind when a caretaker is taken suddenly. Cats without food when money runs out. Pets ending up in shelters that are already overwhelmed. We’ve seen policies that were supposed to protect people and families with pets ignored or rolled back. Protections for animals have been weakened, leaving them at risk. Enforcement of animal welfare laws has dropped as tax dollars meant to protect animals are redirected toward other forms of enforcement instead of care and safety. Promises to help pets and their families? Too many have been broken. It’s alarming. It’s upsetting. And it’s happening closer to home than many people realize. If you’re reading this, you already care about animals. You’re already part of a network that looks out for pets. The next step is simple: bring that care a little closer to home. Meet your neighbors’ pets. See if they could use extra food or supplies. Offer to help walk a dog. Let your pets meet and play together. A few extra minutes, a bag of pet food, or a friendly check-in can help pets stay safe and cared for, and often opens the door to real human connection too. When people suffer, pets suffer too. This administration does not care about our pets and the families that care for them. Help make sure your neighbors have what they need.

Update as of 1/7/26: 2/2/26 is the effective ban lift date! Happy New Year! 🎉 We’re back from break and want to continue being as transparent as possible as this work moves forward. We waited to share updates until we had clear, accurate information, given the many moving parts and partners involved in implementation. As soon as key dates and details are confirmed, we’ll share them. In the meantime, the best way to help is to support the shelter and support pets and their people - through volunteering, fostering, donating, and spreading accurate information. Thank you for being part of this community and this work.
