THE SAVING SLIM FOUNDATION is a registered 501c3 non-profit and your donations are tax deductible. We believe that the American Pit Bull Terrier has become very misunderstood in American society. “Slim” was the muse for the Foundation coming into existence. Abused and an ex-fighting dog, he had no chance of survival. He was property of the FCAC shelter in Rome, Georgia where the county has a ban on adopting out Pit Bulls, period. This twisted ideology is called BSL or Breed Specific Legislation, where a dog is not just a dog, but targeted with prejudice. The reality is that very few pit bulls will make it out of an American shelter alive. Whilst we will never be a large pit bull rescue, but more so a foundation, offering resources and information, we are still very involved in rescue on a daily basis.
