You may then be invited to take the dog home under our foster contract, and the dog will be marked 'Adoption Pending' on websites. In most cases, foster/adopt homes bring their adult dog to the Saturday Pit Ed class at least twice a month, until all parties feel good about the match. Note: Long distance homes skip straight to full adoption. ADOPT! Once the dog is responding well to you and your family and pets, you'll sign an adoption contract, pay $250 and get all the dog's vet records. Pit Ed training classes are free for every adopter.
