How can I adopt from Pit Bulls for Life?
Our adoption protocol is very stringent; designed to be a lengthy process to ensure that all new
dogs placed in the home are going to be in the same home for the lifetime of the newly adopted
family member. The potential adopter must be at least 18 years of age. The process starts by the
potential adopter filling out an adoption questionnaire. Once the foundation has received the
questionnaire, a member of Pit Bulls for Life will contact you to discuss both your questionnaire and
the dog you are interested in adopting. Dogs are adopted based on suitability of the dog and the
family, not on a first come, first serve basis. If we feel this dog is not a suitable adoption we will
offer suggestions regarding other dogs we have in the program. After it is determined which dog
the adopters would like to meet, the foster home will contact you to discuss more about their foster
dog and set up a time to do a meet and greet at their home. If the meet and greet goes well at the
foster home and you are still interested, then a home check and a meet and greet at your home will
then be set up. All members of the home must be present for at least one of these meetings. After
the final meet and greet, we ask that you take a minimum of 24 hours before calling us to complete
the adoption. This gives all parties involved time to evaluate and confirm that this is the best suited
home for your family as well as the dog. Pit Bulls for Life will not ship any dog to a potential home. If
you live outside of the City of Calgary all family members of a potential adoption must come to
Calgary to visit the dog that they are interested in.
Pit Bulls for Life does not adopt dogs that are of the same sex.
4-Day Pre-Adoption Program
Our 4-Day Pre-Adoption Program is designed to ensure that the dog you are interested in, is the
right dog for you. This program is encouraged only for those seriously interested in adopting one of
our dogs. Before a pre-adoption date can take place, the other prerequisites outlined in the
adoption protocol must be fulfilled. We recommend this period to include both a weekend as well
as a day or two of your normal working schedule. If you are interested in adopting the dog after the
program or know before hand this is the dog for you, one of the Pit Bulls for Life representatives will
come to your home and complete the adoption. If you have decided that this is not the dog for your
family the dog will be placed back into its foster home and the Pit Bulls for Life team can determine
if a pit bull is the breed of dog for you and if we have a more suitable candidate.
Foster to Adopt Program
In some cases you apply to adopt a dog through our regular program but none of the dogs we have
in the program would be a suitable match. If this happens we offer the foster to adopt program
where we match you up with a dog that is in need of placement directly from a shelter. This
program allows you to be the foster home for this dog prior to adoption. As a foster home
everything will be supplied for you as any other foster homes would be and as a foster home you
would responsible for ensuring that you get your foster dog to the spay / neuter and vaccination
appointment. Take a couple of weeks to decide if this is the dog for you and then we will either
place your foster dog up for adoption or finalize the adoption with you and pick up the foster
supplies. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs but don't see the match for you send in
the adoption questionnaire and we keep you in mind if a suitable match is in need of our program.
What support do we have after the adoption?
Pit Bulls for Life takes pride in helping newly adopted dogs and their families with the transition into
their forever homes. We enjoy hearing from the adoptive families with updates on their new family
member. If the need arises Pit Bulls for Life is always there for questions or concerns that the home
may have.
Pit Bulls for Life has the right to refuse
any potential adopter without reason.
