The Pit Bull Proud adoption program was created in 2014 to increase the number of Pit Bulls adopted into loving, forever homes. Pit Bull type dogs make up 45% of the homeless and neglected dogs brought into MADACC each year.
Friends of MADACC subsidizes part of MADACC’s adoption fee, allowing the adoptive family to adopt their new family member for $45.
In 2018, we revamped the program. Instead of subsidizing adoption fees, we will now provide our Pit Bulls with a welcome home kit to take home with them to their new family! The kit includes an easy walk harness, toys, and our new Pit Bull Proud sticker and bandanna.
We want to give a special thank you to Pet Supplies Plus Greenfield for discounting items to help make this kit possible!
