Urgent need for Foster Homes. We need to open more foster homes to be able to save more dogs with very limited time left. Please email pitsRlove@gmail.com for a Foster Home Application. If you can foster for as little as 6-weeks we can save another life ! Adopting a friend Email us for an application !
The Adoption process is designed to help best place dogs with homes that are in the best interest of the dogs and their human companions. The process starts with a prescreen review of an Guardian Application ( please email us at pitsRlove@gmail.com for an application). Making decisions about dog placement in adoptive homes is an "art", not a "science", and there might be times when applications will be denied for various reason(s). This is left to the discretion of the MAPS after reviewing relevant information. MAPS reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care into a foster or adoptive home. There is absolutely no guarantee, made or implied, that any person or persons requesting to adopt a dog being fostered through MAPS, or posted on MAP's web site, will be granted an adoption. After a successful prescreen, including background checks, the applicant(s) are notified that they can visit the dogs and a time slot is made for the dog and applicant interaction. After the interaction we encourage several days of reflection before adopting a pet to help assure this will be a lifetime commitment of love and quality care for the dog. Next we conduct a home/neighborhood visit to the Guardian Applicant's home. If the home visit proves successful the new mom and/or dad of the dog will sign an Adoption Agreement and share a lifetime of love !

We are a non-profit (501c3 status pending) Pit Bull Terrier rescue in Madison, WI. We make regular trips to Rockford, Illinois and Michigan City, Indiana. So approved applicants have many geographic options to see our foster dogs.
Our goal is to help as many deserving, homeless Pit Bull Terriers as possible that have been abandoned. We work extensively with Humane Societies and/or Animal Control Facilities in the Upper Midwest to save Pit Bull Terriers.. We want to place them in homes...........not just any home, but the right home for them, where they will be loved and well cared for. We conduct extensive background checks on all potential adopters.
These sweet pets are loved and protected by foster parents in their homes with families until they are adopted. The foster family's get to know the pet and help train them and let prospective adoptive parents know about the pet's personalities.
We work hard to find the best homes for the pets because they deserve nothing less.............
