Last January, the Lov-a-Bull Pit Bull Rescue Sanctuary was the recipient of $25,000 from the Heigl Foundation. The Oregon based volunteer rescue organization, dedicated to re-homing unwanted Pit Bulls, used the grant to build isolation buildings to separate incoming dogs until they can ensure they are not suffering from distemper or parvo.

Located on 50 acres just outside Eugene, Oregon, Lov-a-Bull was created to rescue and re-home Pit Bulls in 1999. LAB foster dogs live either at the organizations main kennel facility or in a network of foster homes while they wait to be adopted and placed in forever homes.

The sanctuary also receives animals from various high kill shelters in the Los Angeles area and gives them a second chance at life.
