We are in desperate need of Caregivers!!!  Without the help and support of caregivers, we have to turn away needy animals.  Caregivers opening up their homes are integral to our rescue efforts.  Without our caregivers, all the loving, adoptable Pit Bulls don't stand a chance of finding a new family.  A caregiver provides a loving, structured, responsible, safe, and educational environment.

Responsibilities of Caregivers:

  1. To provide daily care.
    Just like owning a pet, this includes feeding, exercise, waste clean-up, and positive, loving interactions, as well as being on the lookout for any emerging medical or behavioral issues.

  2. To provide a good balance of love and discipline.
    Many dogs are returned to rescue because they were lacking in adequate attention or training/discipline in their early months.  As a caregiver, you have the chance to teach the dog just what love is all about, in the form of grooming, play and petting, as well as fair, consistent training and discipline.

  3. To Attend Obedience Classes.
    Many of the dogs we rescue have never learned basic obedience or good manners.  Our goal is to provide each dog basic obedience training so that they are well-behaved and breed ambassadors upon adoption.  Classes will be held once a week for six weeks and the foster parent will need to work with the caregiver's dog each day.

  4. To allow prospective families to meet the rescue dog.
    After an interested party is screened in accordance with our policies and we believe we've found a potential family, we will work with you to arrange a meet-and-greet.  We will solicit your input to help us match up the best possible family with your rescue dog.

  5. To provide feedback.
    Your role is to provide truthful and complete information about the dog. We'll also want to know how you are doing.  We want to make your experience the most positive it can be!

PLEASE HELP US HELP THESE DOGS!!!!  THEY DESERVE A CHANCE!
