People doing great things.

I would like to give Joanie Wazney a big thank you as she is doing great things. The founder of the Buster Foundation, One of Michigan's largest Pit Bull rescues. There are very few "bully breed" rescues in the state of Michigan. We need more people like you Joanie, So thank you from one dog lover to another.
