our adoptable dogs

Interested in adopting?

1. Click here to fill out our adoption application

2. Our adoption coordinator will be in contact with you within 10 days if the dog is currently available for adoption. If the dog is NOT currently available for adoption (i.e. not spayed/neutered, pending training or any medical procedures) then a representative may be in contact with you once the dog becomes available for adoption. Please be patient.

3. Our adoption coordinator will reach out and request the following items: proof of landlord approval if you rent, proof of residency, picture of your ID, copy of your HOI policy if you own.

4. Next step is a virtual home check and (2) reference checks.

5. (a) Once all that is complete, we will schedule a meet and greet. If you have a dog(s), we will schedule the first meet and greet with HUMANS ONLY. It’s important for people to get to know the dog without a new dog influencing how the dog you seek to adopt will behave. After this meet, we ask that you sleep on it and let us know the next day if you want to continue with adopting.

5. (b) If you have a dog(s) and you want to proceed with adopting the dog, we will schedule a second meet and greet for the dogs to meet. The dogs will do a pack walk together. If either your dog(s) or the dog you are seeking to adopt does great with other dogs, but is reactive at first, we will do a minimum of (3) dog-to-dog meet and greets with an experienced handler or trainer present.

6. If you wish to continue after meet and greets have been conducted and we believe you to be a fit as well, we will complete a background check that requires a non-refundable $100 deposit. This deposit will go towards your adoption fee, if you pass and are chosen for adoption.

7. Once all checks and meet and greets are completed and you are approved for adoption, we will collect the remainder of the adoption fee and schedule your pick up for the dog.

Our process is designed to ensure our dogs end up in their forever home, we believe that if a family is the right fit and they truly want to add one of our dogs to their family, they will be willing to go through our process.

*Please note that if a dog ends up being the perfect fit for your home you will be asked to pay the adoption fee via credit/debit card. An invoice will be sent to you via text.*

Testimonials…

“California Bully Rescue was a blessing to my family and I. They are so kind and they really care about their fur babies! My family adopted an older pitbull terrier, who was rescued by California Bully Rescue from a shelter, named Tiger. He was the sweetest dog I ever met. He was so loving, kind and gentle. I would love to adopt another fur baby one day and I will say when that happens I'm going straight to California Bully Rescue.”
