East Tennessee Pit Bull Rescue, Inc.
Adoption & Foster Application

We are so excited you are taking the first step on your path to a future with one of these GREAT dogs! Please fill in the form to the best of your ability. Again, I want to remind you that we will make decisions on a case by case basis. We try very hard to match the right people to the right dog. This means the only right answer is the truth and the only wrong answer is an untruth. There are many people having to rehome, surrender and give up their bully breeds at this time and much of it is due to breed discrimination. Property owners will not allow them on rental property, many insurance companies that will not cover them if involved in an incident or will cancel your homeowner's insurance if they know the bully breed is there. That means we will ALWAYS speak to the property owner before approving an adoption. We ask that you contact your insurance carrier as well! We will also want you to be at your residence for at least 6 months and there will be a home visit. Thank you for your time and interest in this wonderful breed! We look forward to working with you.

By selecting this box, you understand that we will be contacting reference and verifying your application.
By checking this box, you understand that all ETPBR dogs are altered prior to adoption, placed as indoor companions only and are NEVER adopted out as outside dogs.
By checking this box, you understand that although it is not fair - the reality of it is that Pit Bull owners are held to a higher degree of accountability. This will often mean that you must obey the law to the utmost while the owner of another breed may get by without doing so.
By checking this box, you understand that if an adoption is approved, ETPBR will be doing follow ups periodically for the first year or until a time that we feel it is no longer necessary.
Personal Reference: Please list name, address and phone number of two people.
