Foster Home Application

For the Love of Pits® is always looking for qualified candidates who are interested in providing a permanent home to one of our available dogs.

 

For the Love of Pits is a charitable rescue serving a highly misunderstood and mistreated breed of dog.  Owning a dog is a lifetime commitment full of responsibility and love.  To ensure that our dogs are placed in homes with people that are aware of this commitment, we ask that you fill out the placement application truthfully and thoroughly.  The intent of this application is to find the very best possible match for placement of the dog.  Please fill in ALL fields on the placement application.  If any field does not apply to you, please indicate that it is not applicable.  DO NOT LEAVE ANY QUESTION BLANK.  Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.  Please note that the placement process time may vary to ensure proper placement. 

OUR DOGS ARE SPAYED/NEUTERED PRIOR TO PLACEMENT.  All of our dogs are up-to-date with vaccinations, microchipped and basic obedience trained.  Ohio is the only state in our Country with statewide breed specific legislation.  What this means is that, in Ohio, all dogs identified as pit bulls are deemed vicious as a result of their appearance.  Pit bull owners in Ohio face discrimination by neighbors, authorities and the public and anyone looking to adopt a pit bull should be ready to experience such discrimination.

All dogs, no matter the age, must be taken to at least one basic obedience class after placement.  Home checks before and after placement (announced and unannounced) will be made and a legal contract is required with every placement.

Attention Smokers:  Second-hand smoke has been associated with lung and nasal cancer in smokers' dogs.  Because of this negative consequence, we will screen smokers carefully to ensure our dogs' health and longevity.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Thank you for considering our dogs,

For the Love of Pits®
