Additional adoption info
Our adoption process begins with our application which lists basic information and veterinary references. Once an application is approved, a home visit is conducted. If the potential adopters have not yet met the dog or puppy they are interested in, we will also schedule an interaction with the family, as well as any family pets. If the home visit and interaction go smoothly, an adoption contract is signed, the adoption fee is collected, and the new family begin exploring the benefits of the canine-human bond.
Our adoption fee is currently $300.00 for most dogs and puppies, however, may be subject to change based on professional training and/or medical assistance provided.
The fine Pit print: We do not adopt dogs into outdoor living situations.
All dogs and puppies must be spayed or neutered, (they are all rescues); no exceptions.
We reserve the right to deny adoption for any reason at any time.
Fighters need not apply; we screen thoroughly.
We adopt out to individuals who have experience with this breed. If a first time owner, or inexperienced, we ask that proof be provided of breed research with an explanation as to why a Pit Bull would be a good match to the particular lifestyle of the applicant.
We require that any adopted dog receive vaccinations and heartworm/flea prevention from a licensed veterinarian.

APBF promotes responsible breed ownership through education, programming, and assistance.
One of our biggest goals is to help reduce the number of pets that end up at kill shelters due to neglect, abandonment, overpopulation, and irresponsible ownership. We work within the community to teach owners about compassion, nutrition, training, and turn negative activities with dogs into postive ones.
We support spay and neuter programs as well as other rescue organizations who serve a common purpose.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
