Ring Dog Adoption Process
Thank you for your interest in a rescued bully! We take the adoption process very seriously and hope you will, too. We want you to think this decision through and be fully aware of the challenges that come with pet ownership. We want you to treat the animal as a full participating member of your household. Adopting a pet should be looked upon as a lifelong commitment of love and responsibility for the welfare of that animal, just as you would have for a human member of your family. Our adoption process intentionally has several steps and cannot be completed in one day.
Steps to adopt- Fill out an Adoption Application
- Phone interview
- Reference Checks
- Meet and greet with the dog you are interested in (and any dogs you may have)
- Home inspection
- 1 week trial run (in home)
- Finalize adoption (contract, collection of adoption fee and transfer of medical records)
Our adoption is fee $150.00, due at the end of your week trial, and includes spay or neuter, rabies (if of age), vaccinations, worming, microchip and any other medical required for the health of the particular animal.
The entire process can take 1-3 weeks to process, so please be patient and understand if you live outside of the Greater Richmond Area, the process may take longer. Our goal is to place the right bully in the right home.
