You're invited to a party Saturday at the Humane Society of Harrisburg. It’s a pity party, but it's not that kind of pity.
While pit bulls often get a bad rap, “Well so many times we see pit bulls in the news, they're not positive,” realizes Amy Kaunas, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Harrisburg.
Some like Marky Mark are playful.
“Marky mark is just fantastic, he's a huge couch potato, loves affection, loves attention, loves his treats,” explained Kaunas.
So Saturday, it's a different kind of pity party. “It’s a celebration of the pit bull,” Kaunas told us.
The pupose of Saturday’s pity party is to show off the positive side of the breed. At the shelter, over half of the dogs are pit bulls.. Saturday, they're offered at half price in hopes they'll go to a good home.
“We are also featuring a kissing booth and have a number of happy residents happy to participate in that,” Kaunas told us. “You can also bring you your pit bull or non-pit bull, if you would choose, but to get treated as a canine good citizen
So no need for feeling sorry for yourself at this party, “the goal of the party is education,” Kaunas concluded.
The pity party kicks off Saturday morning at 10:30 at the Humane Society's shelter on Grayson Road in Swatara Township.
