    #47 Lending a Helping Paw with The Pittie Project!

    This week's episode is dedicated to all the four legged members of our families as Brennen and Tracy are sitting down with Ashley Georgia the owner and operator of the Pittie Project. The Pittie Project is an amazing organization that partners with dog rescues across the US in order to give pitbulls a second chance at life. It's amazing work and we loved helping Ashley share her story. Also, some surprise guest appearances this week by Ashley and Tracy's dogs!

    If you would like to get involved with the Pittie Project with donations, volunteering, or even adopting, you can find them at: www.thepittieprojectpnw.org

    And as always if you have additional questions about the show, or ideas for future guests or topics please feel free to reach out to us. We love to hear from you!
