Lizard's Story

She's one of the most sweet and affectionate dogs I have ever encountered, she wants endless attention from anyone she meets when she is in a safe and comfortable space. She is happy to be a couch potato for most of the day and thinks that she is a lap dog. She loves to play with toys, especially her Kong. She cannot do strenuous exercise due to hip pain, but loves gentle walks. How does she spend her days? Lizard goes on two 20-30 minute walks a day. The rest of the time she stays inside, snoozing on her bed or on our couch. When I lived in an apartment with a backyard, she liked to roll around outside and sleep in the sun. She also loves to play with toys and enjoys mental stimulation and endless pets. Lizard is healthy, up to date on vaccines and spayed. She is on regular joint supplements to manage minor hip arthritis. Lizard is approximately 5 years old and 55lbs. Contact waggytaylor@gmail.com to meet Lizard and for more info.

California Pit Bull Rescue's Adoption Policy

If you are interested in adopting a dog through California Pit bull Rescue (CPR) we have a few standard steps you will need to take: We ask that you fill out our Adoption Questionnaire, to help determine what type of dog(s) would best suit you. We will arrange for a "meet and greet" with your dog(s) of choice -- everyone, human or not, who will be living with the dog or interacting with him/her regularly is required to meet in person. Home checks are mandatory -- this is when we will get a first glimpse of how your prospective family member fits in and adjusts in your home. If all goes well, we start your trial adoption period with our adoption contract and donation (which includes microchipping, vaccination and spay/neuter) of $300. Depending on the situation, you will be required to check in at intervals to provide updates on the dog's transition. In most cases we will conduct a minimum of one follow-up visit to check on the dog's condition and welfare post adoption. You will also be required to provide proof of training with an approved trainer within one month of placement, before the adoption can be finalized. We also strongly recommend that you continue lifelong training with your dog. All CPR dogs have our full support post-adoption for questions, advice and feedback. Should you ever find yourself in the position of having to give up your dog, we require that you contact us first. We also strongly urge you to contact us before issues arise, so we can provide the resources you need to successfully keep your dog with you for life.
