Please read these short paragraphs about the adoption process before scrolling down the page to see available dogs. (Click here for our first page of available dogs.)
The first step in adopting is filling out our Adoption Application. We regret that sometimes we are unable to reply to each and every application in as timely a fashion as we would like. As an all volunteer organization, our time is stretched "to the max." So please forgive us in advance. We also require a home check. Adoption fees range anywhere from $300 to $600 depending upon the age and health of the bully. We may not have a suitable dog for you immediately, in which case we'll keep your application on file and notify you when your "perfect" companion comes into rescue. We also share information about potential homes with other bull terrier rescue groups, so be sure to let us know if you've already submitted an application with another organization.
Until we develop our online application for your convenience, please use this version of our Adoption Application.

Since bull terriers are often prone to allergies, we suggest grain-free treats. You can use things you would normally have in the refrigerator, like bits of cheese or meat, and there are quite a few commercial dog treats now that are pure animal protein, without fillers like soy, corn or wheat.
A few dogs with severe allergies may also be sensitive to the carbohydrates in fruits and vegetables or potato/rice/oat-based treats, but most bullies absolutely love carrots, apples, pears and bananas to no ill effect!
Mac
Angel's mother
This is George. When he came into rescue, he appeared never to have known what is was like to live in a house and to be loved. He was needy and clingy, couldn't figure out what stairs were, just hadn't known "the good life." With a few months of loving care, he has blossomed into a robust quintessential bully boy: funny, silly, lovable, active. He is a stray from Long Island, New York , whose age is unknown, probably around 3 or 4. George is deaf but has easily learned hand signals. He is quite the terrier: He hates cats and amuses himself in the yard by snooping around for errant chipmunks and assorted varmints! With careful introduction, we think George will benefit from a female companion his approximate size who will tolerate his knockabout (but not mean) play style. George has a minor congenital condition called "dry eye" which is treated twice daily with a relatively inexpensive prescription ointment. For more information about George, please email us.

Diesel (picture below)
This guy’s a big affectionate bullie boy, and tres handsome. Fawn bullies are real headturners! Diesel wants nothing more than to put his head in your lap and get a nice neck massage. It was Diesel's misfortune to be lodging with another male, so fights broke out. And who was the dog to get dumped at the shelter? Diesel.
Diesel has some skin allergies that are kept at bay by feeding a grain-free food (no corn, wheat or soy) or raw food diet.
We are confident that Diesel could live amicably, under supervision, with a mellow female dog. Please consider adopting this fantastic dog. He is currently in a kennel now, and would much prefer to be in a warm, comfy home.
Angel retains a bit of her mother's coloring via one brown ear. She looks gangly in the pictures (remember, she's still a growing puppy) but will fill out to look much like the old "bull and terrier" dogs that were the prototype for the modern bull terrier breed.
