Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Salem and I am a one-year bundle of joy! My foster mom says I am a 60-pound lap dog, but that’s not too big, right? My favorite pastime is playing with my foster sister, I have a lot of “puppy” energy, whatever that means, and I am very happy playing, going for a hike or lounging on your couch or your lap. I would love to sleep on your bed, but I can sleep on a bed next to you as well. I love my foster mom, but she moves her mouth and cannot hear her. You see, I am deaf, but I “speak” sign language and know a lot of commands (sit, stay, heel, play, bathroom, etc.). I’m a pro at this and would love to teach it to you too.
Little kids are very scary to me, so I would prefer a home with kids older than 8 that can be respectful when playing with me. I really am a good boy and my foster mom says I deserve a great home of my own. Can you help me find it?
If you are interested in adopting please visit our website and fill out an application https://www.meritpitbullfoundation.com/adoption-form
Our adoption fees:
$250 for adult dogs
$350 for puppies WITH a $100 REFUND with 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.
