Who We Are
We are a small rescue group who have become especially enamored of the breeds commonly known as "pit bull terriers" with their clownish, loyal, tenacious personalities and athletic prowess. Our mission at Care N Compassion Pit Bull Rescue is to help rehome a limited number of pit bull terriers from kill shelters or whose owners cannot keep them and who might otherwise end up euthanized if a new home is not found. In addition, we occasionally assist with rehoming of dogs of other breeds in our local area, in addition to providing referrals. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to placement.
Adopting a friend
Please read up on the breed on www.pbrc.net (Pit Bull Rescue Central) and www.badrap.org and www.animalfarmfoundation.org There are some excellent articles on breed traits, care, etc. Pit bull terriers make excellent pets, but they are a special responsibility and are not for everyone.
Please think carefully about the time you have available to devote to your new friend and be ready to adopt for a lifetime. While we do stand ready to rehome a dog you adopt from us if it doesn't work out as well as expected, it is best for the dogs to find their permanent homes right away, and it is our goal to make good matches the first time around.

Meeting a Dog
Since we are not a shelter, but house our dogs in several foster homes, we show dogs by appointment only. The first step is for you to contact us so we can answer any questions and interview you to see if we feel one of our dogs might be a match with your household. All adoption decisions are ultimately up to our rescue group, we must approve all adoptions, we do not operate on a "first come first serve" basis but evaluate all applicants and decide what is best for the dogs we rescue. This is not meant to discourage you in any way, but simply to be clear that we must make the tough decisions about where our dogs go, and we sometimes have to turn down applicants. We must weigh a variety of factors, such as type of housing, number of children in the home and ages, to determine which placements are appropriate. Prior to finalizing an adoption, a home visit will be required so we can see where the dog would be living and get better acquainted with you.
Thank you for considering a rescued dog; these grateful dogs will love you forever!
