Our Adoption Process

Our adoption process starts by completing an adoption application so we can obtain more information about you, your family, and other pets in the home. Once the application is approved, we will arrange a meet-and-greet with our companion; you/your family; and family pet, if applicable.

 

If all goes well, we will conduct an on-site or virtual home check, then transition the dog to your home for a 7-10 day (or longer as needed) foster-to-adopt trial period to ensure it's a good fit for your family. During this trial period, Bully Up Rescue provides all needs for our companion including crate, food, leash, medical care, etc. If after the trial period you wish to adopt, you will remit the adoption donation and complete the adoption agreement. Once finalized, we would send you all relevant records for your companion, including vaccines, rabies certification, medical records, and microchip information. 

​

Minimum Requirements for Adopting a Bully Up Companion:

​

  • Be at least 21 years of age

  • Have no breed or weight restrictions on lease, in HOA by-laws, and/or homeowner's insurance, if you rent or own

  • Have written landlord approval required to allow a bully breed, if you rent

  • Be prepared to pay a pet deposit, if applicable, if you rent

  • Reside within Central Florida (exceptions may be made on case-by-case basis)

  • Verification of homeownership

  • Verification of veterinarian reference checks, if applicable

Adoption Donation

$300

Our adoption donation of $300 for adult dogs and $400 for puppies, includes your companion being spayed/neutered; up-to-date on vaccinations; rabies vaccination; flea/tick and heartworm preventatives; and microchipped. We will also provide at least one month of flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, supplies, and food for his/her transition into your home.

 

In most cases, when we take in a new dog under Bully Up Rescue, the cost of care greatly exceeds $400; however, the adoption donation for dogs that were already vetted when they came to Bully Up helps defray some of the expenses, and allows our rescue to help another dog in need. 

There are five methods by which to remit your adoption donation (go to Link Tree)
