About RADAR
Fontana adopted her first bully, Ammo, in February of 2011 during the 30-year pit bull ban in Denver (overturned in 2020). He is now 13 years young, and the inspiration behind RADAR and Fontana’s love for all things bully breeds. In 2016, when stationed in Georgia, Fontana and her husband realized that a more permanent way of helping bully breeds had to be established; thus RADAR was born.
While educating the public and assisting those in need to better the lives of the dogs (providing dog houses, straw bedding, clean water bowls and nutritious food) in a state where it was legal to keep dogs tethered outside, RADAR also strengthened it’s community outreach capabilities and efforts.
Now, located in Southern Pines, NC, Fontana chose to transfer to the Air Force Reserves so that she could balance family life, work, and her passion for RADAR and its mission. RADAR relies on foster homes to make space for as many dogs as possible, but dogs who aren’t in foster homes reside with Fontana and her family with no danger of having to be displaced or euthanized.
This is why RADAR’s foster and adoptive homes are so important – the more space foster/adoptive homes make, the more dogs that can be rescued! RADAR’s fosters are always supported (supplies, medical and professional training are provided) to make sure that the dog’s adopted out are in their best physical and mental state.
RADAR is funding entirely by donations and Fontana’s personal income; she does not, and will never, take a salary.
