Adopt a Pit Bull
Thank you for your interest in a rescued pit bull!
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.
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 pit bull in the right home.
