Chako Pit Bull Rescue & Advocacy (a 501(c)(3) non-profit) aims to alleviate the persecution of the Pit Bull breeds by finding homes for Pit Bulls in need, promoting responsible dog ownership, and standing against breed discrimination. Although the Pit Bull rescue is based in Sacramento, California they work on both a state and national level. Chako provides advocacy efforts for responsible dog owners, free and low cost Pit Bull classes, and educational events throughout the year.
