As of March 1, 2008, Pit Bulls for Life has opened their doors once again to owner surrendered
bully breed dogs. Both the dog and owner will be thoroughly interviewed before any pet is
considered for the program. We strive to ensure that our dogs have no human or animal
aggression and a minimum of a $200 surrender fee will apply. The surrender fee will be subject to
the situation of the surrender and what the medical needs of the dog is. If you are interested in
surrendering your dog please call or email us.
Before giving up your dog exhaust all possibilities
Ask yourself, have you done everything that you can for your dog, taking on a dog is a lifetime
responsibility. What went wrong? What can I change?
Seek help for you and your dog if there are behavioral issues, do not dump this problem on
someone else and expect them to fix it. There is great help out there.
If there are no behavioral issues, ask people you know, friends, family, co-workers, and your vet
clinic if they know of anyone interested in adopting your dog. Word of mouth is very powerful.
To help you find your bully a good forever home we have included some tips:
Never advertise your dog as free and always specify that it is an adoption fee, you can always
donate this fee to a rescue organization in your area to help other unwanted animals if you are not
comfortable taking the money.
Before placing up for adoption, ensure that your dog is fixed; please help keep the unwanted
population down. By spaying and neutering you can also ensure that your unfixed animal will not be
used for breeding or in a puppy mill. Also, have your dog up to date on vaccinations. It is easier to
adopt a dog to someone that does not have to do anything with him/her except for enjoying his or
her company.
Interview the person(s) that are interested in your pet, find out why they want your dog, is for the love
of the breed or simply to look tough. Also find out living arrangements, do they have other pets or
kids in the house? Find the home that is most suitable for your dog not the first one that comes
along.
Be honest with the person interested; give both good and bad qualities of the dog. The dog will not
benefit from lying.
Ask for references from friends and family to get a sense if they are being honest with you about
their home environment and intentions.
Ask for their veterinarian’s number as well to confirm that all animals in the house are
spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines. If they do not have a regular veterinarian then where
will they take him/her for shots or becomes ill?
Take time to do the adoption, do a few meet and greets and ensure that the dog is responding to
the person interested. Ensure that your dog meets with all family members - two and four legged.
Your dog will tell you if they are happy with the person or not – listen to what your dog is telling you.
Do a home check and ensure that they have a safe environment for your pet.
Giving your dog time is the best thing that you can do for him or her.
Find the right home not a fast home.
