The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area will host its annual "Pity Party" for pit bulls from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at the shelter, 7790 Grayson Road in Harrisburg. The event is attended heavily by past pit bull shelter residents and their owners and includes numerous pet-friendly activities, said Kelly Hitz, director of public relations for HSHA. Pet owners and well-behaved and vaccinated dogs are welcome, she said. The Pity Party is held each year to celebrate a breed that makes up a large percentage of HSHA's adoptable dog population. The event includes a "Pity Parade," pet friendly vendors, a "Kiss-A-Bull" booth, pet psychic, weight pull exercises, BBQ and bake sale, kids activities and more. The pit bull advocacy group, Pinups for Pit Bulls, will also be on hand. A low-cost vaccination and microchipping clinic will also precede the event from 9 to 11 a.m. Adoptions of resident HSHA pit bulls will be 50 percent off. "HSHA works hard to advocate for the pit bull, as they truly make wonderful and loving companions," Hitz said in a press release. "It's important to show that the breed's often incorrect reputation is primarily a result of human irresponsibility and to educate the public on humane pet ownership."

Too bad there isn't something like this in Jersey-when we lived in PA there were all kinds of community things they don't have tri-state

Pin Ups for Pit Bulls sure do make the rounds. Dayum.
And there are events like this in NJ, Leslie. One at the beginning of the summer at the Monmouth HS, RPB has held an event, and LHS has their Bark in the Park which is very Pit Bull-focused this year.
