Rescue FAQs

We are an all volunteer organization focused on getting Pit Bulls and other high kill breeds off of death row and into responsible foster and forever homes within Central Ohio. Transport is available with approved home check.

Additional adoption info

Our foster application process is the same as our adoption process. We want to ensure our dogs are matched with the right family and home situation. You must be 21 years or older to foster or adopt and a home check is required for every application. Our adoption fee is $175. This fee covers part of the cost of pulling the dog from animal control, ensuring the dog is fully vetted with all shots, and spayed or neutered before the adoption is final.
