A Pennsylvania based animal rights group is getting ready to close a deal to buy Michael Vick‘s former home that was the headquarters to dog fighting activities he was convicted for.

Dogs Deserve Better had originally tried to raise enough money to purchase the 4,600-square-foot house and 15-acre property in Surry, Virginia by March, but failed.

Like several of Vick’s former dogs that were given a second chance on life, Dogs Deserve Better has been given another opportunity to purchase the home and is expected to close the deal for a loan towards the end of May.

Michael Vick has issued a statement on the new Android app “Dog Wars” that enables users to pit their dogs against others’ in fighting competition.

“I’ve come to learn the hard way that dogfighting is a dead-end street,” Vick said. “Now, I am on the right side of this issue, and I think it’s important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app.”

Most of the sports world already knows how MLB player Mark Buehrle feels about Michael Vick. If you didn’t hear Buehrle’s comment, it was something along the lines of Vick being the football that gets thrown at the next Eagles game.

During an interview with ESPN, Mike Tyson gave his thoughts on how Vick should be treated.

“Listen, listen. I don’t know why people do what they do. What should we do with Michael Vick?  Really, really: Why don’t we castrate him? Why don’t we do something bad to his children to teach him a lesson? Is that really the answer?”

One organization would like to buy the former headquarters of his dog fighting operation for their animal non-profit.
