Chako Pit Bull Rescue helps Pit Bull owners both in California and across the nation. Our various programs and volunteers make owner assistance possible, but please remember our resources are limited! While the services we offer are often free, for some we charge a small fee. Even where our services are offered for free, donations are very much appreciated (else these programs might vanish).
