In March of 2013 AAGS established "THE KEEPING FAITH PROGRAM" to offer REWARDS for the arrest and conviction of abusers and killers of animals. This fund was begun in honor of a blue-nose pit bull that we named “Faith”. Her abused, emaciated body was found in a garbage bag discarded along Onondaga Creek in the city of Syracuse, NY. She had likely been used for fighting. The fund will be ongoing, and any monies not spent will be included in future rewards.
