Modified k9 Pit Bull Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are not looking to just "find a home" of our dogs. We are looking for the BEST possible forever home for each and every one of our Bully Breeds. Therefore, we do reserve the right to refuse to adopt a dog to any family for any reason.

Modified K9 does not have a shelter. We are a small network of foster homes located all over Pennsylvania.

If you wonder why our adoption process is so lengthy and cumbersome, many of our dogs were emaciated, sick, heartworm positive, covered in fleas, or full of intestinal worms when they came to us. At one time, their owners convinced someone that they would provide a wonderful, loving home....




OUR ADOPTION PROCESS/POLICY:

~MUST be 21+ to adopt one of our dogs.

~we prefer to do oposite sex adoptions
("some" cases will be considered)

~application will be e.mail to you to fill out upon request

We are not a shelter, we are a very busy Home Based Company "right now", that operates within a very small network of foster homes.

We are dedicated to educating the public on the American Pit Bull Terrier,rescuing & re.homing these very misunderstood dogs.

All of our rescues are temperament tested & evaluated. We look for the best of the best when taking in unwanted pit bulls. We look for the potential ambassadors for the breed & human aggression is NOT an acception at any time.

Every dog that comes through our rescue is neutered/spayed , micro chipped & update with basic vaccs.

*In addition to adoption fees we operate solely on our own personal funds, do donations are much needed.

Modified k9 Pit Bull Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

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.
