Vindicated Pit Bull Rescue was founded in 2014 by a group of volunteers with one goal in mind: restore the reputation of the misrepresented and misunderstood "pit bull”. Our staff works closely with the shelters in our area, the dogs in our program, our fosters, and potential adopters in order to ensure success throughout the rescue to re-homing process. Vindicated Pit Bull Rescue is located in Northern Virginia and currently serves the Metropolitan DC area.
We aren’t going to lie, our adoption process is lengthy. Why? We aren’t the kind of rescue group that adopts dogs out on a first come first serve basis. Our adoption process is centered around finding quality matches for the dogs in our program. Aside from your adoption application and one on one interviews, we use a two week in-home trial (roughly the time it takes for a dog to acclimate to a new environment) to determine whether your lifestyle and the dog are a quality fit. Before any adoption is finalized, a two week in-home trial must be conducted. Please be advised that sometimes the dog you request for adoption may not be a good fit for you.
