Notes:

Pit Bull Rescue San Diego is a volunteer run, 501c3 non-profit organization (Tax ID# 20-3957702) dedicated to rescuing and re-homing pit bulls. We are devoted to helping pit bulls obtain a positive image through education, despite the image that the general public has of them due to misinformation and media sensationalism.

We are in desperate need of foster homes to save more dogs! The shelters are absolutely OVERWHELMED with dogs right now, and many are running out of room.

Why Foster?
Foster parents are the most important people involved in a rescue. Imagine getting over 20 emails a day from people begging you to take their dog. Pit Bull Rescue San Diego works with a network of foster homes who care for the dogs while we find them their permanent homes. We don't have a shelter, so the fosters are invaluable to us. Without the support and presence of fosters, most of the dogs that would otherwise find homes end up languishing in the shelters, or not finding homes at all.

What does a Foster Parent Do?
All the things that a dog owner does, but for a shorter time! Daily care, feeding, grooming, reinforcing obedience, and generally giving the dog love and affection. The reason why foster parents are so important is because there are wonderfully adoptable dogs in the shelters whose perfect owners haven't found them yet. Many people are wary about adopting directly from a shelter because so much is unknown about the dog. We only take in temperamentally sound dogs, and people are more likely to adopt from us because their foster parents can tell them what they are like in a home situation, likes and dislikes, and little quirks - things that are impossible to tell in a shelter situation.

There will be small expenses such as dog bowls if you don't already have them, but if you need help with food expenses, we are happy to provide a bag of food for you. In the event that the dog requires medical treatment or medication, we will take care of those expenses. And the dogs will pay you back ten fold with their unconditional love and affection.

If you can find room in your heart and your home to foster and pittie please contact our foster coordinator: fostering@pitbullrescuesandiego.com

And we are always in need of volunteers to help out at various events. Check out our website at www.pbrsd.org .
