Bull Terrier Rescue of Virginia (BTRVA)

The first step in our adoption process is the completion of the Adoption Inquiry form found on our website. After filling out an adoption inquiry form one of our members on the Rescue Committee may contact you for a phone interview. This is so we can make sure all of your desires and needs are met as well as the dogs’. This also gives you an opportunity to ask us as any questions you may have and gives us the ability to determine which dog would be a good fit. After the adoption inquiry and phone interview we schedule a visit to your home. Home visits give everyone the ability to ask and answer questions concerning the dog, the adoption process, how to care for a dog, etc. It also gives us a chance to make sure your home is "dog proofed" and ready for a dog. This is not an inspection but rather an informal visit to make sure you're ready for your new dog and the dog you've chosen will fit into your lifestyle, home life, etc. We will then have an introduction between you and the dog, and complete the adoption process if the person or family is deemed a good fit for the dog, and vice versa. To help defray our costs we ask that a tax deductible donation of $400 be made for each adoption. All proceeds go back into the rescue to help other Bullies in need. This donation is subject to change depending on veterinary costs the dog needs. - If any of the above steps are not completed, the adoption process will not move forward.
