A Note From the President Regarding the Puppy Nursery

Hello CCB Supporters,

First off, let me thank you all for you supporting our latest endeavors to renovate an outdoor building into a fully-functional puppy nursery. We truly appreciate when so many get behind something we really believe can make a difference for the lives of pit bulls in the state of North Carolina!

It was with deep regret, sadness, and frankly, embarrassment that I have to report that these plans will not be coming to fruition based on the research we did in the preliminary stages of making this venture a reality. Due to legal, long-term, personal, and professional roadblocks (and believe me there were plenty of each), we can not realistically create a puppy nursery on a foster mom's property. Because Terry & I ourselves live on rental property, neither we can put a building on our property for this purpose. The best time at which to begin a project like this would be if CCB should sometime in the future own their own land where we can build a permanent structure that will belong to our organization for many years to come, making the very most of our investments.

Since each of you donated to our cause under the pretense that a puppy nursery would be created, we want to be 100% forthcoming with our latest developments. We would GLADLY issue refunds to any of out donors that would request them.

On the flipside, we have big plans for any remaining donations if you should be so generous to let us use them to continue our great work. CCB's next major purchase will hopefully be a full-size or mini-van for the purpose of our business vehicle. We have put literally tens of thousands thousands of miles on my personal vehicle in the past year and a half, and are in need of more room for transporting, crating, and supplies that my small Dodge Calibur just can not accommodate.

I hope that you can forgive us that sometimes our ambitions can be bigger that reality!! But we still hope to see many great things ahead with the help of your continued support.

Sincerely,


Amanda Liston
President, Carolina Care Bullies
