STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER WELFARE

In August 1995, it was decided there was a need for a registered charity and "Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare" was created, to work alongside the other SBT rescue groups in the country, but to have a different unifying role. The "hands-on" work would be left to the regional groups, whilst "SBT Welfare" would become a support group, encouraging the others to work together, as in unity there is strength... In the beginning, there was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and those who loved the breed. It wasn't the first among breeds, but it soon became one of the most popular. Which is why, many years ago, the need for a separate rescue group was identified by some of the breed stalwarts, who, as a result started The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue. As the need for help increased to major proportions, other areas throughout the country formed their own local groups to help the breed they loved... Charitable status was conferred on "The Welfare" (as it's colloquially known) on 14th..
