PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTION
In order to be considered for adoption of a PBGV, please follow the following instructions. Please understand that there are very few PBGVs available for adoption, which speaks well of our breeders and owners. There are usually many applications and often very few, if any, PBGVs that need homes.

Complete Rescue Adoption Consideration Application: Click Here

Once your application is submitted, you will be placed on a waiting and will be contacted should a dog become available.

PBGV Rescue attempts to match the proper owner with the proper dog. Obviously, if a dog does not do well with children, the dog would not be placed in a home with children. Therefore, your place on the waiting list would not be the only criteria used when placing a dog.

Once you are selected, you will have the right to accept or refuse the dog. If you accept the dog, you must complete an adoption agreement and submit it to your Regional Representative. You would then work with a volunteer/contact person to determine the best procedure to follow to take possession of your dog.

All PBGVs shall be spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption

Rescue

The PBGV Club of America Cares!

If you have one or more PBGVs that you cannot keep for reasons such as illness, family changes, financial changes, please contact the Club’s Rescue Committee instead of turning the dogs in to a shelter. The Rescue Committee will act quickly and in confidence to find a new, suitable, home for your dog, regardless of age.

Have you seen a PBGV in a shelter? Please contact the Rescue Committee and let them know about the particulars of the situation.
Are you interested in fostering (providing a temporary home for) a PBGV in Rescue?
Are you interested in providing a new Forever home to a PBGV?

This page provides information about the Rescue Committee, contacting a member of the committee, and submitting a rescue application.

Any and all persons interested in the well being of the PBGV breed are needed by rescue! If you are aware of any PBGV in a shelter in your area, please contact your Regional Representative IMMEDIATELY!
