Our adoptables are housed in foster homes throughout the state of North Carolina. We accept adopters both in North Carolina and outside the state (out-of-state adopters are responsible for transportation). The adoption process, including a home visit, remains the same for both in state and out of state adoptions.
Additional adoption info
For adoption or fostering information, email us at info@mpbf.org or visit our website at www.mpbf.org for complete information and links to contact us.
Our adoption fees:
$175 for adult dogs
$250 for puppies WITH a $100 REFUND after proof of training
* All dogs receive the following prior to adoption: Distemper/Parvo Vaccine, Rabies Vaccination, Heartworm Test & Treatment (if needed) Spay/Neuter (no dog will ever be adopted out without being altered), and Microchip.
* Puppies too young for rabies or final boosters will need to be vaccinated post-adoption at the expense of the adopter.
* All adopters must be at least 21 years of age.
* We will only place dogs with indoor ONLY homes.
* A home visit and application are required prior to adoption.
* We do check home owners insurance or with your landlord to ensure pit bull type dogs are accepted in your home or apartment.
IMPORTANT: Many homeowner's insurance companies have breed blacklists or "dangerous dogs" lists which include, but are not limited to, pit bulls, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, American Bulldogs, Chows and wolf-hybrids and WILL NOT insure you if they reside in your home or may cancel your insurance if you add a dog of these breeds to your home. If you rent, landlords may also have these same breed restrictions due to their insurance policies. Please check your homeowner's insurance policy or ask your landlord regarding breed discrimination before submitting this application to adopt a pit bull type dog.
