  Dear Friend,
  
  I wanted to bring something to your attention today that
  I find ridiculous. Once again the powers that be are singling
  out the breed and keeping them from being dogs.
  
  This time it's not a big city or town. No. This time it's your
  neighborhood PetSmart.
  
  PetSmart offers Doggie Day Camps. These camps are
  supposed to be...
  
  "Your best friend can spend the day in one of our climate-controlled
  play rooms playing with other dogs and our safety-certified,
  pet-loving staff trained in behavior assessment."
  
  I love the part about "pet-loving staff." I guess that doesn't go
  for the corporate headquarters that makes millions off of Bully
  breed owners each year.
  
  They take your money, but won't take your dogs. From their
  site...
  
  Quote:
  "Who may not attend?
  
  * Intact (unneutered) male dogs or pregnant females
  * Dogs who haven't been socialized with other dogs
  * Dogs in the "bully breed" classification (e.g. Pit Bull Terriers,
  American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers,
  Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bull Dogs or mixed breeds
  that have the appearance or characteristics of one of these breeds)
  * Wolves/wolf hybrids"
  End Quote
  
  I have contacted their corporate public relations department for
  answers. I have asked them to explain their policy and why
  they single out bully breeds or any breed related to them
  (Including American Bulldogs) and I for one am never going
  to step foot in another one of their stores and will be removing
  the toy links on my site to their website too.
  
  It is their decision not to include the breeds. That is a business
  decision and it's their right to do so. I am not saying you can't
  tell me I can't come to your doggie day camp, I'm asking WHY
  can't I come to your doggie day camp and it better be a good
  reason other than, "Statistics show..." or some other pathetic
  excuse.
  
  We give this franchise millions a year and they have the nerve
  to lump our breed into a "banned" position simply because
  they are a specific breed.
  
  Wait, they have trained staff in behavior assessment. I guess
  our breed presents a challenge to their staff. Well, can you
  think of a different reason?
  
  I sure can't.
  
  I will be reporting on the progress I make with PetSmart
  here in the Gazette and when I get their official reply I
  will post it here for you to review too.
  
  In the mean time, go to http://www.Google.com and
  type in, "PetSmart Doggie Day Camps" and you will
  be given their Doggie Day Camp page. Visit the page
  and notice that the quote above is exactly as it appears
  on their site.
  
  Once again, we are kept from things other dog owners (who
  have worse dogs than we do!) are allowed to take part
  in because we choose a great breed with heart and courage
  over the foo-foo dress up dogs.
  
  Contact their customer service and ask them why that is.
  
  Best Regards,
  Jason, Angel CGC/CTD, Honey and Patch
