collectively promote ethical rescue practices and responsible ownership,
create and implement educational campaigns and programs, act as an
intermediary to individuals or groups looking for support and help with
Pit Bull issues, seek fight bust case procedural reform, and be a breed
resource.
Policies, Guidelines & Codes of Ethics:
A goal of PBRA is to create and implement widespread Policies,
Guidelines and Codes of Ethics that may be independently and electively
adopted by other organizations & groups.
Additionally, each organization within PBRA is guided by its own policies
and guidelines, unique to its individual makeup, programs and services.

Please see the following brief summary of ethical rescue practices
that PBRA team members follow.
• Adopts out only sound Pit Bulls of correct temperament
• Selectively places dogs into homes that are properly educated
• Allows adjustment time within a foster home in order to learn each
dog's temperament, modify undesirable behaviors and get to know the
dog in order to make a suitable match with an adoptive home.
• Prepares rescued dog for life within a family via training, socialization,
behavior modification, etc
• Makes sure dogs are sufficiently worked with, exercised, and handled
while in the care of the rescue (not simply warehoused in a kennel while
awaiting a home, etc)
• Only adopts out altered dogs
• Provides required and preventative medical care prior to placement
• Discloses any on-going health issues which require regular
medications and/or further care (i.e.: allergies, joint issues, etc)
• Conducts thorough and proper screening prior to placement (ie: vet
checks, home visits)
• Adopts out dogs on legally binding contracts that stipulate specific care
and other obligations of adoptive homes.
• Offers support and training after adoption
• Mandates via contract that if at any time and for any reason adopter is
unable to keep the dog, the adopter must first contact the rescue group
for assistance. Adopted dog may not be sold, euthanized, traded, given
away, relinquished to a shelter or rehomed in any other manner without
prior consent of rescue group
