MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue |
Donate Today! Our Rotties thank you!!   |
MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue (MARR) was founded in March 1999. We are always looking for Rottweiler enthusiasts of all experience levels who are interested in breed and a desire to help. There is something for everyone to do!
This rescue organization was formed because we saw a great need for a rescue network in northeast Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and western/central/southern Illinois. While some of these states have strong and successful Rescue groups, there are gaps in area coverage and some states have no Rescue at all. We now cover several midwest states where there is a need for Rottweiler Rescue. Please e-mail us to see if you reside in our area of coverage. MARR receives dogs from private shelters, Humane Societies, animal control facilities, and other organizations where a dog was abandoned. In most cases we adopt from the shelters as a "last resort" adoptor, giving the shelter maximum time to adopt the dog through their system. Our organization is not accepting dogs into foster care from private individuals. However we do help the owner place those dogs on a referral basis. We require an adoption application be completed before a dog can be adopted. Potential adopters are required to provide a veterinarian reference as well as the names of three personal references. We ask that potential adopters allow a home visit. We prefer that the home have a fenced yard. In the event we determine the home to be a healthy and loving environment, a Rottweiler is matched with the adopter's lifestyle and family. An Adoption Contract that protects the dog for life, is part of the adoption process. The adoption fees are as follows, with $25.00 being returned when the first obedience class is completed: $300 for dogs 0-6 months $250 for dogs 7 months to 5 years $200 for dogs 5 years and older Where does that fee go? All dogs adopted through MARR are neutered, heartworm tested, and given rabies and DHLPP vaccinations. Besides standard veterinary care necessary for most dogs, some have special health needs resulting in higher medical fees. Rescue groups are also required to pay the standard adoption fee when taking an animal from a shelter or animal control facility. MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue (MARR) is supported solely through charitable donations and the fundraising efforts of its members. MARR is a nonprofit corporation, recognized as a public charity with federal nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. All donations to MARR are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by federal income tax code.
