So You Want To Adopt Your New Best Friend

Our adoption process is a little different...

We don’t take applications for specific dogs. Instead, we ask potential adopters to become pre-approved.

Once approved, you’ll have access to:
  • Info, photos, and videos of all available dogs
  • Direct contact with foster families and our founder
  • Help from volunteers to find the right match

If none of the current dogs are a fit, you can wait until the right one comes along — your pre-approved status lasts a full year.

We can’t guarantee a dog will still be available by the time a new application is processed.
The approval process can take up to 5 weeks (sometimes a little longer). Our volunteers do their best to expedite the process, but with juggling work, family and life in general, it can be hard. We appreciate your patience.
If you’re serious about adopting a bulldog from B2TR, the best thing you can do is apply NOW.

OUR PROCESS

1

Apply

We appreciate you wanting to bring a dog into your home. In order for us to find the right pet for you, we need you to submit an adoption application.

2

Review

We will review your application upon receipt. If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact you for clarity.

3

Home Visit

Once your application review is complete, a Bullies 2 The Rescue volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit to meet in person and discuss all-things pet. During the home visit, we look for potential hazards for the dog that the adopter may not have considered. All household members must be present during the home visit. This includes all pets.

Finding Your Pet

Once approved to adopt, the search for your dog begins. Volunteers will begin to evaluate pets currently in our foster care program who may be a good fit for you and your family. We would also be open to discussing dogs in our care that you are specifically interested in.

Additional Information

  • We will not discuss adoption details regarding any particular dog if you have not yet applied to adopt.
  • Bullies 2 The Rescue is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization. We will make every effort to schedule your home visit in a timely manner. Please be patient with us…the dogs need our time too.
  • All dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all shots prior to adoption
  • Adoption fees range from $50 to $650, based on the age and health of each individual animal.
