Rescue Helping Rescue?

Hello, I know of 5 Pitbulls or terrier type dogs that will be pit down in the next few days if nobody steps forward to help them. I have met them and they are amazing, sweet and definitely do not deserve the fate that is awaiting them :(

I have pictures of them all if you would like to see them. Please help them!

Hi E

Thank you for your email and wanting to help these dogs, but you'll have to send us much more information.

Kind Regards,

Hi L,

We are working on it on our own now. These dogs do not have time to be seen, assesed and decided upon. Our rescue is one of the only ones who will go see dogs and take them right away.

Thanks,

E

Hi E,

“We” who? What rescue? Not sure why you bothered to email us in the first place then...

That’s great that you have unlimited room in foster care and resources to deal with all kinds of behavior issues. Really nice to hear that there are rescues that have no regard for ensuring only pit bull type dogs with stable temperaments are being made available to the public. You must not be worried about all the personal liability that is involved with rescuing dogs in regards to the DOLA (or maybe you have a really great lawyer on speed dial).

Our rescue however, believes in QUALITY over QUANTITY and though we’d love to be able to pull dogs at a moments notice, we understand that there are limits to what we are able to accomplish. Our rescue is built on extremely high standards (and we have the track record to prove it) and we strongly believe that any pit bull type dog that is not super friendly with people is not suitable for adoption.

Excuse us for wanting, as a RESPONSIBLE rescue, to assess dogs before placing them in family foster home environments with other dogs, children, etc.

Best,
L

p.s. See how that works? We can be snotty too!

Considering the adoption option...or not...

Well I must say I am glad that this organization is there for these animals, but it seems a little easier for me to just buy a dog for myself and my kids. Sorry for the inconvenience and best of luck finding these wonderful animals a home.

Thanks for your email, and considering the adoption option :)

What other info are you looking for on B and S?

Before sending an application form, first we would like some more information from yourself - your knowledge of the breed and your knowledge of BSL? Thoughts on training, any info on lifestyle, feeding, etc The more info the better in regards to the pups future life with you!

Once we have received your reply, we will then forward you an adoption application. Once complete, we will review and hopefully arrange a time to conduct a phone interview. Once that is complete we require reference checks - personal, professional and veterinary, and then perform a home visit.

Making the best possible match for our dogs is our top priority!

Looking forward to hearing back from you!
