ABOUT ADOPTION

Adopting from The Love Pit means gaining a family member. It means gaining a network of pit bull advocates, ready to support you and provide you with all of the resources we can. Most importantly, adopting from The Love Pit saves lives. When you adopt, you're saving the life of your own dog, opening space in their foster home for another shelter dog in need, and creating space in the shelter kennel for a dog whose life would have otherwise been on the line. Your thanks for all the good you've done? Lots of love and pit bull kisses to enjoy for years to come.

HOW IT WORKS:

STEP 1: Adoption Application

Complete the adoption application. An adoption coordinator will review your application and contact you within 2 business days!

STEP 2: meet and greet

Upon completing a phone interview, you’ll be connected with the foster family to schedule a meet and greet! You and your pack will meet your potential new family member at a neutral location for the safety of all dogs and humans present. We conduct 2 meets for adult dogs. The second meet will take place in your home. We may also ask that you conduct further meet and greets to ensure that our dog is the best fit for you and your family!

STEP 3: Home Check

A TLP volunteer will visit your home to ensure your potential new family member will be a great fit for you and your family. Home checks also provide our team the chance to assist you in "puppy proofing" (or dog proofing) your space! We want to do all we can to make each adoption a success!

STEP 4: Adoption

Congratulations on adopting a new family member! You have the total support of TLP's Post Adoption team, providing you with all the training and medical resources we possibly can!
