Interested in Being a Pit Bull Parent?
Steps to adopt
Honestly evaluate your desire and ability to care for a new dog at this time in your life. It is our policy that all of our dogs are to be kept inside, and not to be left outside unattended. There are many bad things that can happen to a dog if they are left outside without supervision: dogs can get out of the yard and be hit by a car, poisoned, stolen (especially Pit Bulls since they are one of the most stolen dogs in the US.) All of our dogs are crate trained so they may be safely left inside when no one is home.
Research the breed to make sure you are ready for the trials and tribulations and joys of bully ownership.
Search for the bully you are interested in, we urge you to choose more than one dog that interests you, however please understand that your choices may not be the ideal match for your family or lifestyle. Our volunteers will help you determine the right dog for you in order to ensure a compatible and lifelong pet relationship.

Interested in fostering?
Love bully breeds but aren’t sure if it is the right breed for you?
Can’t commit the next fourteen plus years of your life to a dog of your own?
Experienced with these breeds, and have a heart to help a needy dog?
These are just a few of the reasons to consider fostering. When you foster, you are opening your heart and home to a dog that is up for adoption or soon will be. Like most rescue groups, BBR does not have a kennel. Instead, we rely on the generous network of volunteers who take in dogs temporarily during their journey towards a forever home. We are able to help only as many dogs as we can house and must turn away needy dogs regularly because we simply have no where for them to go.
Fostering a dog saves a life!
