25-071 Sorcha's Story

Hi, I’m Sorcha. Actually my foster family calls me Saint Sorcha because they tell me all the time that I am an absolute Saint. I don't like to talk about my life before being rescued, but I somehow ended up in a crowded shelter with huge infected feet and wounds all over my body. My foster mom thinks my foot infection was not addressed and my previous family dumped me instead of getting me the help I needed. Because I couldn’t walk and could barely stand, she thinks something attacked me and I couldn’t get away or defend myself. Luckily I ended up at my local shelter and they started me on a bunch of meds, but I was in super rough shape and I ended up with a nasty URI. Thankfully, Bull Terrier Rescue Mission was alerted and was able to pull me onto their program and get me the urgent medical attention I needed. Despite having a laundry list of medical issues initially, I tried my hardest to be a good girl, and hence the nickname “Saint Sorcha” stuck. Now I am a happy, energetic bull terrier! My feet are still bigger than normal, but due to prolonged infection, they will never look “normal” and I may end up needing pain meds due to early arthritis. That won’t stop me from living life to the fullest though! My favorite thing is cuddling on the couch with my foster dad. Followed closely by hunting falling leaves, meal times, snack times, tug times, and trying to win over my feline foster siblings. Unfortunately due to likely being attacked before coming to the shelter, I get too overstimulated around other dogs and my fight or flight reflex kicks in. But I am more than happy to live with bully-savvy cats/older kids (10+) with proper introductions. I do get a little too enthusiastic when meeting new people inside sometimes, but put me on a leash and I settle down immediately. I am always very polite when meeting people on walks and at the vet. My ideal home would be a calmer household with a fenced yard for me to relax and potty in. I walk very nicely on leash, but if I see another dog my brain may turn off on its own, so having a yard is imperative. I am excellent at taking meds and could teach classes on “the right way to behave when getting your feet soaked.” Really, I just want to be with my people. Ideally on their lap, on the couch, and under a blanket. Work from home? I’m your pup! I am also an angel in a crate and am willing to sleep there all day if your boss is mean and won’t let you hang out with me all day. My foster mom is awesome, but my foster family thinks I may prefer men, because I BIG LOVE my foster dad. I love to sing my bull terrier songs whenever I see him. If I sound like I may be the pup for you, please fill out an application with Bull Terrier Rescue Mission!

Bull Terrier Rescue Mission, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

Once we receive the application, our rescue committee will review it, and reach out via Social Media, E-Mail, Telephone or Text to set up a phone interview. The interview can take as little as 20 minutes but last as long as 45 or longer. This interview is the perfect time for applicants to ask any questions. Some questions to consider, and topics to be covered during the call include: * the breed in general * an individual in our care up for adoption * the process moving forward * why we do things the way we do them * specific follow up questions based on the application * establishment of rapport to help BTRM find the best possible match At some point the coordinators at Bull Terrier Rescue Mission will follow up by contacting any references listed on the application. After this and the interview; if both parties are in agreement, we will set up a home evaluation with a trusted volunteer. The interviewer will coordinate with the applicant and the volunteer to schedule a date and time that would be best for the home visit. It’s important that if the applicants have a spouse or partner and any children or other animals, that most if not all of them be present for the Home Check. Once a dog and an applicant are matched, there will be paperwork. Fosters will fill out a Foster Release Agreement, that will outline everything that’s expected from them as well as everything that will be provided to them, from BTRM. There is no charge to place a dog in foster care. We only ask that the dog is given the appropriate time to be brought back to health and that his behaviors are properly evaluated before we begin to look for their forever home. During this period and until the dog is adopted, BTRM will be responsible for all medical expenses, and training if need be. People looking to adopt a bull terrier, are classified as “foster to adopt”. This means that they have to fill out the Foster Release Agreement & the Adoption Agreement, as well as the $450.00 Adoption Donation in advance. If in 30 days the family and the dog agree that they love each other and want to stay with each other forever, the Adoption Agreement is signed and returned to the applicant and the match is made official and the dog considered Adopted. During this 30 day “Foster Period” all the rules and parameters of the Foster Agreement are in effect. For example, medical issues that have yet to be cleared are the responsibility of the BTRM. If the 30 days pass, and the dog and family do not consider themselves a match, the Foster to Adopt shifts to a Foster placement. The day the dog being fostered begins their transport to their new home, the $450.00 adoption donation is returned.
