Jersey Pit Rescue

You must first complete an adoption application. You must be 21 years and older to adopt our dogs. Must live within 3-4 hours driving distance from North Jersey All members of the household (and anyone who will be around the dog often) have to be available to meet the dog. No exceptions! If any other dogs are in the home, a meeting on neutral territory is required to ensure a good match. A home visit is required before adoption. All animals already in the home must be spayed/neutered, seen yearly by the vet, and be up to date on vaccines (Distemper, Bordetella and Rabies). And yes, we call your vet to check. A veterinary reference is required, as well as two-character references. If adopting a dog younger than 6 months old, we do require that there is another dog in the home. No exceptions! We do NOT adopt out littermates. No exceptions! Our adoption fee for dogs is $400.00 and puppies (6 months and younger) is $500.00 (this is a tax-deductible donation) All our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption (if old enough), up to date on vaccines (Distemper, Bordetella and Rabies). If a dog is too young upon adoption to be spayed/neutered, you are required to bring them to our vet on the day that we have them scheduled. Incase an adoption doesn't work out; all dogs are required to come back to Jersey Pits Rescue Inc. (This is stated on the application and the contract.) If you adopt a puppy from us that is too young for spay/neuter at time of adoption. You are required to have them spayed/neutered at our vet at 6 MONTHS old. No exceptions!
