Michigan Bull Terrier Rescue
The Bull Terrier Club of Metro Detroit Welfare Committee works to rescue and evaluate Bull Terriers which have been abandoned in Michigan. Most of our rescue dogs are referred to us through shelters and other purebred dog welfare groups.
All dogs go through a 30 day health and evaluation period and are assessed for their reactions to children, cats, and other dogs. All welfare dogs are brought up to date on innoculations, heartworm tested, and neutered before placement.
Prospective adoptive families are screened to make sure the rescue dogs will fit into that family's lifestyle and that the family is prepared to take care of this special dog.
Welfare dogs are placed on a trial basis. When an adoptive family decides to keep a welfare dog, a fee is charged to cover expenses for rescuing, evaluating, and veterinary treatments for their dog.
The Welfare Committee also needs volunteers who can foster rescue dogs before they are placed. If you might be interested in being a temporary foster home for a welfare dog, contact Diane Thomas
If you need to find a new home for a Bull Terrier, first contact your dogs' breeder. The Welfare Committee may be able to help with referrals for prospective homes for older dogs, but will not buy dogs from private owners.
