Before you contact us to give up your dog - please read this page.

Our foster dogs come from local shelters and other local rescue groups. 99% of shelters do not adopt out pit bull's or pit bull mixes, we try to help those dogs that have no one else but us. This makes space very hard to find, we need your help, they need your help. Owning an animal regardless of what type it is, is a lifetime commitment, our society has made our four legged family members very disposable. Think about it, would you give your child away because they don't listen, aren't completely potty trained, or just plain have no manners?  To us, our pets are our kids.
 
Please do not contact us if you need to get "rid" of your personal dog(s) and are unwilling to help in the process.  It takes an average of 12-24 months to find responsible homes for this breed and sometimes even longer.  Yes, they do get lucky once and awhile and get adopted quicker but that is not the "norm".  If you can't help in the process, please be responsible and take them to your local shelter or vet and hold them as they are put down humanely with someone they love holding them.  Don't let a stranger be the one they have to be with. I know many people are outraged by that statement, but you know what, it is just the reality. Think that sounds harsh, go visit your local shelter and see how many unwanted animals are there.  Most shelters will tell you why the animals were surrendered, just ask.  

If you need to rehome your current dog, and are willing to help us help them until they find a home, we will do everything we can to help you get them listed. We will help screen applications, help take pictures and do home visits.

If you have found a stray and are looking to find them a quick home,  please take them to your local shelter, even if you believe they don't care and will "just put them down" - it is a better option then living on a chain, or running loose to get hurt, or hurting someone else's pet?  Remember I'm not the person that abandoned them, please understand one person can only do so much.  Although your local humane society might not adopt out pit bulls, they do know what rescues to contact that might have space.  Give those shelter folks a break, they didn't abandoned the dog(s) either, they are on the dogs side.   It really upsets me to hear people say, "well they just put them down", as if they really enjoy doing that, remember its a choice to work in a shelter, they do so because they CARE about animals.  I have yet to met a shelter worker that didn't care that they had to euthanize so many animals everyday.  They rarely get a thank you for caring enough to do their jobs with compassion.

Please be patient while wanting to hear back from us, we are a working family that does rescue between our regular paying jobs.  Without those jobs we wouldn't be able to help the homeless.
