A & S Rescue is a small rescue group dedicated to finding
permanent, loving homes for American Staffordshire Terriers
("AmStaffs") and American Pit Bull Terriers ("Pit Bulls").
Although we focus our attention on AmStaffs and Pits, we
occasionally assist different groups in rehoming other breeds in
emergency situations.
Prior to placement, all dogs are spayed and/or neutered and up to
date on necessary vaccinations relevant to the dog's age. When
possible, our dogs live in foster homes with foster families, where
volunteers evaluate the dog's temperment and work on basic
obedience and manners. We strive to place each AmStaff and Pit
Bull into a home best-suited for each individual dog.
We carefully screen all applicants; a home visit and reference
checks are required to ensure that the adoption is a good match-
one that provides a permanent and loving home for the dog!
Further, we maintain contact with our adoptive families and
encourage them to contact us with any questions or concerns. If
for ANY reason the Rescue AmStaff or Pit Bull is not working out
in its new home, we require the dog be returned to us as stated in
our adoption contract. Upon return, we will reevaluate the dog and
possibly consider placement into a different, more suitable home.
Under no circumstance will we place our Rescue AmStaffs or Pit
Bulls into homes where the dog will be subjected to dog fighting.
We are strongly opposed to all forms of dog fighting and similar
forms of animal abuse.
