THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE SUBMITTING A FAMILY PROFILE
If you are looking for an “inexpensive” puppy, BRTCA Rescue is not the place to find one since we rarely, if ever, get puppies. If you are looking for a BRT mix—you will not find one here since we only take in purebred BRTs. If you are looking for breeding stock, we can’t help you. If you are looking to provide an outstanding home to a BRT in need—you will not be disappointed! Although a happy-go-lucky, healthy adolescent is not uncommon, most of the available dogs in our program are between the ages of two and seven and no matter what age, they all come with “baggage.” These dogs are given up for a variety of reasons ranging from family tragedies to family indifference to misinformation. Many of the dogs have behavioral, emotional or health issues that must be addressed and dealt with by their adopting families. Through love, attention and, most importantly, proper (and sometimes intensive) training, these dogs can become the pet you have hoped for!
Adopting a BRT from us is not an overnight event. You must be patient and allow US to choose the right dog for you, your family, and your lifestyle. This takes time and a great deal of effort on the part of our volunteers. We will check your references and evaluate your home thoroughly. Feel free to look at our national and regional websites to see some of the dogs in our program. Don’t see available BRTs in your area? Don’t assume there aren’t any! Foster homes with available dogs are located across the United States and we just cannot list them all. If you wait until the “right dog” appears on the website, you may just miss the opportunity to adopt the BRT of your dreams who is waiting patiently for YOU to be their FOREVER HOME.
