Horse pens 40 is a historic outdoor nature park, a natural wonderland of animals and unique rock formations nestled atop Chandler Mountain in the foothills of the Appalachians. Located on top of the third highest mountain in Alabama at 1500' above sea level, it is blessed with a moderate climate. The stone formations here are said to be among the oldest naturally exposed stones in the world, dating from 600 million to 1.3 billion years old!
There are over 60 rare, threatened, protected, or endangered species in the park, and because of this, our goal is to protect all native species here as if they are an endangered species.

Bama Bully Rescue 1st Meetup!
Dave's Pizza
1819 29th Avenue South
Homewood, AL 35209
This is an informal gathering for everyone to come and bring their dogs for lunch on the patio. This will be our first meetup event, so we just want everyone to have a chance to hang out and become acquainted with each other. Come on out to Dave's Pizza in Homewood for lunch and bring your dog! They have a large patio where we can all sit and enjoy our pizza, dogs, and beer (if you want).
So, come with some suggestions for future meetups, activities, etc. looking forward to meeting everyone and everyone's bullies!
* As always, please only bring your dog if he/she is well-behaved and on a leash. Anyone's dog that shows aggression or inappropriate behavior will be asked to remove their dog from the meetup.
* Please only bring one dog per person to this meetup. It will prove difficult for most people to control two dogs at once and still be able to enjoy themselves. We want everyone to have a good time and be able to socialize not only their dogs, but with the people there as well. So, please keep it to one dog per person for this event. Thanks!

A Prayer for the Animals
~An official Alabama Week for the Animals event~
Join others who would like to observe a moment of prayer for the precious animals. We are requesting prayers from 5-6 pm eastern time on Sunday March 14th. This is a multi-faith observance.
Wherever you are, if you can observe a moment for the animals who need us...that collective energy will surely grow and bring light to our cause to love, assist and help them from any and all suffering.
