It is the primary goal of the Lexington Pit Crew Adoptions Team to find the home best fit for every individual dog. For this reason, applications are not always processed on a first come, first served basis. Much more detailed information on each dog can be read on their petfinder profile (link at bottom of this page).

Before an applicant can be fully approved for adoption, please know:

1. Lexington Pit Crew does not place female dogs together if they are within 3 years of age. This policy was put in place after multiple instances of females in the same home reaching the age of maturity and challenging the pack leader.

2. Homeownership will be verified, or we will call the applicant’s landlord/property management company to obtain approval for the applicant to adopt.

3. All current pets must be spayed/neutered and up to date on at least their Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. Indoor-only cats may be exception to our vaccination requirements. In the event that applicants choose not to vaccinate for personal reasons, or if vaccinations were not recommended by the applicant’s vet for age or medical issues, LPC will review on a case-by-case basis.

4. One to two personal references not related to applicant will be called and interviewed.

5. A home visit will be conducted to ensure that the residence and property is safe and fit for a dog.

6. In most cases, a meet and greet with the LPC dog and the applicants’ current pets is required before the applicant can start the 2-week adoption trial period. No individual meet and greets will be scheduled until an applicant is fully approved.

LPC adoptions has a mandatory 2-week trial period to ensure that the LPC dog is a good fit for your family and current pets. Adoption Fees are NONREFUNDABLE.

Please allow up to 72 hours for a team member to be in touch with you following your application submission. Our processing team is made up of wonderfully dedicated Volunteers and they will get through your application as soon as they can!
