Proverbs Celebrates Nashville Pittie



Often pit bull terriers are abused, neglected, abandoned because of their image, and bad press... as in dogs trained to fight. Proverbs applauds the efforts of Nashville Pittie.


Nashville PITTIE is an advocacy group built on the principle of education through compassion. PITTIE stands for “Pit Bull Initiative to Transform Image and Educate”. The goal of Nashville PITTIE is to restore the Pit bull’s positive image by: dispelling myths surrounding the breeds called “Pit bulls” through education, promoting responsible ownership, and promoting spay/neuter programs and the importance thereof. Nashville PITTIE strives to bring to light the true character of the Pit bull and the invaluable contributions they make as family pets and service companions, as they have for generations.
