MISSION STATEMENT

As an organization who's main focus is on educating the public, shelter community, and law enforcement agencies, Casa Del Toro also extends it's helping hand in implementing responsible successful pit bull adoptions through local animal control facilities.

  Casa Del Toro believes that, through education and community outreach it can and will improve public perception of the APBT breed (commonly known the American Pit Bull Terrier) by not only focusing on the above aforementioned but also supporting responsible ownership through adoption placement, training and post adoptive support.

  In addition to supporting shelters and owners Casa Del Toro will work on improving the lives of APBTs in the following ways:

  • providing dog houses and supplies to “outside dogs” and encouraging owners to bring their dogs inside to live as family pets.
  • educating the public on humane laws (care and treatment)  
  • ending indiscriminate breeding and overpopulation through spay and neuter programs. 
  • actively working to strengthen dog fighting laws/punishments while educating the community on the realities of dog fighting

      Casa Del Toro fully endorses & practices the "Pit Bull Rescuers Code of Ethics"

    We do not take in "owner relinquishments", but will assist the owners in finding a new home by posting their dog on our web site if they will continue to physically and financially support their dog until an appropriate, permanent home is located.

    PRIMARY GOALS

    Assesing & Pulling pure-bred American Pit Bull Terriers of sound temperament from local shelters and placing them in our adoption program while finding appropriate permanent homes for them,

    Educating the public on the American Pit Bull Terrier breed,

    Assisting owners with all aspects of raising an American Pit Bull Terrier,

    Promoting responsible pet ownership,

    Advocating spay/neuter as a means of decreasing pet over-population, and

    Networking with other rescue groups that practice the same Ethical practices and assisting them whenever possible.

    ADOPTION PROCEDURES




    Application for adoption: http://www.casadeltoro.org

    When filling out the adoption application : Please be sure to answer all questions as thoroughly as possible - Do not rush!  It is important that you not answer the questions with the first thing that comes to mind but that you carefully consider each answer.  It is also important to answer every question. 

    A thorough application helps us to know if the requested dog will be a good match for your family.

    The dog you thought was the perfect size, color or was just plain too cute to pass up might not be the best match for your family’s situation. 

    Our goal is a pleasant adoption experience for both you and your new dog!  A dog’s personality, degree of training and activity level are far better indicators of whether or not a particular dog will work out for you on a long-term basis.

      The adoption fee is $125.00 - this helps to offset some of the cost for the dogs’ spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing, heartworm preventative as well as testing, and treatment (if needed) for internal parasites.  CDT is staffed entirely by volunteers.  We rely 100% on our adoption fees and donations to provide for the dogs in our care.

    All adoptions will require a home check.  Each of our dogs has been failed in some way by their former owners or they would not be with us.  Some are rescued from situations of neglect and abuse, while others were abandoned by their caretakers when the responsibility of a pet became an inconvenience.

    We feel very strongly that it is our responsibility to ensure that our dogs never have to endure those situations again.  We don't want to look in your closets and we don't care if the dishes need done.  We only want to verify that you are able to provide a safe and caring environment for a needy dog.

      We do not intend for the adoption process to be overly complicated or invasive.  But please remember that these dogs have been in our homes and our hearts.  We will not place them hurriedly or carelessly – Your understanding and patience is much appreciated
