Jasmine's House Inc. has a growing team of amazing volunteers and the team works endless hours to help Pit Bulls that have been abandoned find love again and provide our dogs with good nutrition, exercise, training, socialization, enrichment, and most important LOVE, we give them the time and tools to succeed.

B-More Dog is an outreach and education organization created after a group of individuals came together in the fall of 2007 to speak out against breed specific legislation being proposed in Baltimore County and To promote responsible dog ownership in the Baltimore Metropolitan area through education and outreach programs, and ultimately restore the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier as a beloved family pet.

Beyond the Myth is a film about dog breeds commonly referred to as"pit bulls" and those who love these breeds. Viewers are taken on a journey to four
U.S. cities where Breed Specific Legislation focusing on "pit bulls" has profoundly impacted people and animals: Denver, Miami, Cincinnati, and San Francisco.

The documentary intelligently explores the contributing factors behind the public's generalized fear of "pit bulls", and examines the conflict existing between advocates and opponents of breed discriminatory laws, commonly referred to as breed bans. It investigates the myths associated
with these breeds, challenges the idea that they are inherently vicious, presents eye-opening research regarding the media's role in influencing people's opinion on dog attacks.
