Chapo is available for Adoption!! He is being fostered in MO currently, however, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area.

Chapo is a sweet, loyal, and playful boy who can be a bit nervous meeting new people. He does best when he can come to you on his own terms, at his own pace, he will start sniffing and nudging when he’s ready for pets. Chapo seems to prefer women over men, and can be especially protective of children. He has experience around kids aged 4 and 6 years.
While Chapo does not currently live with any small dogs, he has done well with one through a fence. He is very playful and submissive with male and female dogs, it is unknown how he is with cats. Chapo is still learning to heel and how to behave well on a leash. He is usually correctable but will occasionally pull and whine if another dog seems reactive. He knows “sit, down, come, muzzle, shake, and go home (go to his crate).” He willingly goes into his crate every night, is not food aggressive, and will wait for permission to eat. While he is still learning how to take treats gently, he is great at catching treats! Chapo has grown and made so much improvement in the time he has been in foster care! He’s a silly, playful pup at heart. Very treat motivated and learned house rules, house and crate training very quickly. He loves his foster family and loves to be near his humans. He also plays well by himself and loves to play with all toys and balls. He also knows when to calm down and will be quiet and sleep all day quietly in his crate if you work nights. He does tend to be skittish and anxious meeting new people, so slow, gradual intro are an absolute must. When he’s ready to meet you, he typically comes to sniff you on his own. He’ll show he’s uncomfortable by barking at you. Since he is muzzle trained, this may be the best option when meeting new people.

Harley2 is now Available for Adoption!!!She is being fostered in WI, however, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area.

Harley2 wants nothing more than to be with her humans. She is a fan of men and women alike, as well as children ages 5 and up! She is happy to see new people and will happily greet them. She is a laid back and overall calm dog who loves sleeping on the sofa and sitting/napping in her Foster’s attached greenhouse. Harley2 does have separation anxiety, if left alone, she will whine and bark. It is perfect that her Foster works from home so she can spend as much time as she can get with her humans either while they work inside the home or outside in the garden. She will be content chewing on a bone outside or burying it in the yard but when she has had enough, she will head to her crate inside and settle in for a nap. She does well in her crate. Harley2 is ALWAYS happy to join you for a car ride or a leashed walk. Harley2’s Foster tells us she does well on walks and does not pull on the leash, for some reason she doesn’t like to do her business while leashed so a yard might be the best situation for her. This Good Girl knows sit, wait, back up, lay down, roll over, shake and kennel up. She takes treats gently and can be hand fed although she isn’t very food or treat motivated. She prefers antlers or bones over toys. We are told that Harley2 would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She will bark and growl at cows and horses, even on her car rides, however, if leashed, she is very good at ignoring the free-range chickens her Fosters have. Harley’s Foster tells us she is a great and calm dog that just wants to be spending time with her people, she will happily be your cuddle buddy on the sofa while you watch tv. Do you have space on your sofa for Harley2?!

We're often asked "Out of all of your products, what raises the most for rescue?" The answer to that question is SUBSCRIPTIONS. Keeping this in mind, we've created two summer product bundles that are available as monthly subscriptions.

If you follow us closely, you know that we run almost 30 of these coffee brands, each of which supports rescues for different dog breeds. If we can get just 10 NEW subscriptions for each of these brands, we will raise an additional $5,000 for dog rescues.

These bundles not only allow us to donate more, but they also provide a significant 35% discount off of their $50 value. Allowing you to try more, for less! We will continue to update these bundles seasonally, so that you can try different flavors throughout the year.

So if you are a Rottweiler lover, please consider helping us reach this goal of 10 subscribers. Just a few purchases can make all of the difference! https://www.rottweilercoffeecompany.com/collections/summer-bundles

🖤MEDICAL SPONSORSHIP NEEDED🤎

Maggie, one of MARR’s hospice fosters, has been battling severe UTIs since January 2024. She has been urinating blood and been put through various X-rays, ultrasounds, bloodwork, and several rounds of antibiotics. Maggie is now on blood pressure meds and a special diet, which has helped rid her urine of crystals. After months of this, she was finally diagnosed with Cushings. The meds to manage this cost about $400 a month.

We need assistance to provide Maggie with the care she deserves! If you are interested in sponsoring her medical costs, please email [email protected]. If you’d like to make a one time donation, you can do so at adoptarott.org/donate!

Zelda Marie is crate trained; she will quietly sleep in there on her dog bed all night BUT she will happily sleep with you if invited! When she is left in her crate during the day while her Fosters run errands, she will bark and whine, but only for a short time. She quickly settles in, chewing on her Nylabone. Zelda is happy to lie at your feet or settle in front of a window or patio door and watch the world go by. Zelda will gladly join you for a game of Fetch, she LOVES her Jolly Ball and glow-in-the-dark ball. She loves car rides, but she will stand up on the windowsill and put half her body out the window. Zelda loves to go for walks but can pull on the leash. She is good at the Vet’s office and happy to meet new people. Zelda still has some puppy energy! She might want to mouth your hands when she wants to play. Due to this behavior we think it would be best that she be in a home with older children who won’t be afraid of her. Zelda was raised with a cat but ended up hurting her back leg chasing the cat upstairs in the original owner’s home. We have not cat tested her and she may or may not be friendly to other cats. Zelda had to have surgery in both hind legs for torn cruciate ligaments. She has been released by the surgeon with no restriction, however, we encourage a joint supplement to help prevent or at least prolong the arthritis onset that likely will come from the double TPLO. Zelda should be the only dog in the household. She can sometimes get overstimulated, and bite a dog while playing. She can be a resource guarder as well. Zelda will come to her new home with a muzzle, a crate, a dog bed, a no pull harness, a leash and her favorite toys, snuffle ball, blanket, and slow feed dog bowl.

When Chapo is ready to meet you, he typically comes to sniff you on his own. He’ll show he’s uncomfortable by barking at you. Chapo is muzzle trained so that may be the best way for him to meet new animal friends until he warms up.

Ace is available for Adoption!! He is being fostered in NE, however, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area(see post for details).

Ace is a playful, sweet and loving boy. He is such a happy dog, all smiles and rolls for belly rubs! Ace is good with adult men and women as well as dog savvy kids, ages 4 and up. He has been good with large dogs; we are unsure how he would do with smaller dogs as well as cats. He LOVES to play rough with other dogs; his Foster tells us he is assertive, not aggressive, but he has a tendency to hump females. Ace does pull on the leash, but his Foster tells us he is improving. He has learned sit, down, kennel and is working on wait, backup and heel. He is Food Motivated and hasn’t met a treat he didn’t like. He will take each one gently, but it never hurts to remind him to mind his manners. Ace will be more than happy to play fetch and chase if you have a ball or anything with a squeaker. Ace does not have food aggression, but he does try to steal treats from other dogs although he has no problem with other dogs being near his food or treats. Ace is Crate Trained and does not have Separation Anxiety. Ace needs his decompression period, but he is such a wonderful, loving and playful pup. He will play fetch and chase for hours and hours before taking a 15min break and going for more. This Good Boy will make a wonderful addition to your home!

Bandit is available for adoption and is located in Maxwell, Iowa. Transport is available for adoptions within our coverage area(see below).

Bandit is a 6 year-old, playful and assertive, neutered male. He is super sweet, loves pets and playing fetch…but it does take him awhile to trust someone new, so handling needs to be conservative as he gets to know a person. Once he trusts you, you can handle him freely. He has not been around children but is good with puppies as well as small and large dogs. Bandit loves to go for walks- pulls a bit at first but settles quickly and is really good at sit, stay, down and shake. He is food motivated and loves balls, tug and nylabones.
This boy needs a home where he can have the space and training he needs to learn how to trust his people in order to become the best dog he can be. He is a mild resource guarder, but it’s manageable. However, due to this, we don’t recommend him being in a home with children under the age of 14. He does not do well in a high-traffic home with people going in and out frequently, and needs time to get to know someone before he trusts them. He learned in his first few years that if someone made him nervous, if he was scary to them, they would go away, and he still will revert to that if he feels threatened. He does okay at the vet with lots of reinforcement. He is muzzle trained and will come with his well-fitted Leerburg muzzle. He does get along with other dogs with a proper gradual introduction. He was overly interested in cats, so probably not a good addition to a cat household. Bandit needs a rott savvy owner who is patient and willing to earn Bandit's trust. Once you have some respect and a bond established with him, he is a great dog. He knows sit, down, shake, kennel, and he comes when he’s called. He understands “no”. He LOVESSSSSS to fetch. He is clean in his kennel, and will bark when he needs to go outside. He can be trusted in the house and is non-destructive. He’s highly food motivated and learns quickly, seems to enjoy training. He seems to prefer women to men and learns to trust women more quickly; he would be a great fit for a single woman who wanted to feel a little more secure! Bandit is purebred and was out of registered parents- we have reached out to his breeder but we have gotten no response.

🤎🖤MARR RESCUE SUCCESS STORY🖤🤎

Luna came to us a very underweight girl that lived most of her life in a kennel. Her coat was dull. She had skin issues and was missing a lot of hair.

She had never been to the vet. She didn’t know how to play with toys. She didn’t know how to “dog”. That all changed in late January of 2024 when she was surrendered in Indiana and we brought her to live with us and Freddie Mercury (11/23 MARR Rescue.)

Every day is Luna’s “Best Day!” She wakes up every morning with an enthusiasm for life that is remarkably similar to Buddy the Elf. If only we as people could have that same attitude…

Because of this, all of us (including Freddie) get a daily lesson in practicing patience. She loves to romp around the house, wrestling with Freddie, being the President of the Neighborhood Watch, going for walks and occasionally doing a little counter surfing.

Like most of us, she is a continuous work in progress. What a difference can be seen after 4 months of love and care. It has been rewarding to give Luna a second chance at living her best life.

🖤ADOPTION FEE IS NOW SPONSORED BY A GENEROUS DONOR🤎

Zailey is available for Adoption.
She is currently being fostered in Indianapolis, IN.
Zailey has been looking for her forever home, she keeps getting overlooked. As any pet, Zailey has her challenges, but she has been working hard to overcome them. Zailey is fully muzzle & crate trained. She has also learned that barking does not get her what she wants, therefore she has resorted to throwing tantrums on the floor & couch. However, if you ask her if she wants a cookie, she snaps right out of it & comes leaping to wherever you are. She is a work in progress & is extremely food motivated which is helpful with training. She knows sit, down, stay, bedtime, room, outside, inside, off, easy, & leave it. There are a couple of other commands she hasn't fully mastered but she is slowly getting there. Zailey has also almost mastered walking on a loose leash with her head halter, she has also been learning wait when crossing streets. I could go on and on about everything Zailey has learned while staying with her current fosters but that would be a novel. Zailey LOVES toys & even though she loves playing with them she rarely destroys them, she would rather throw them around. Zailey is a wonderful dog that just needs reassurance when facing new situations, people, & other dogs. She has learned that if her foster mom is calm then there is no need for her to react, Zailey would do best in a kid free household where she can get all the attention. Princess Zailey is very much spoiled & would love to show you her tricks in exchange for a treat. She needs a confident & Rottie savvy person. Something else that will help her be successful is following the decompression guide as she will not rest and nap unless she is alone. We believe Zailey could live with another dog in the home but it would require slow introductions & a laid back dog for the best chance at long term success.

Rue (Ruth) is available for Adoption. Her Adoption Fee has been sponsored!!!
Ruth is being fostered in IL, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area.
If you have never met a dog who was not only one of the SMARTEST creatures alive, but also the cuddliest… look no further. Rue is that, and more. Rue’s showcase of cues and tricks is extensive, and she loves to perform for her family- her most recent trick, “play dead” brings laughter every time. Rue’s nose knows no bounds- she loves to explore quiet, open spaces on her long line, letting her sense of smell lead the way. She excels at scent games, including “find it” and food puzzles. She could easily be taught basic recreational tracking or even something like shed hunting, or she can just “find Mom” in the house for fun! She is an enthusiastic learner, and is always game for training. She’s equally game for snuggling, couch potatoing, naps and movie nights. She has a great “off” switch! She’s wonderful for grooming by her humans, and she fully believes that she is a lap dog. Rue has perfect house manners, including staying in her “place” when food it being prepared in the kitchen, but she will happy munch on a carrot or two if one is offered. She is crate trained and does well in a crate if needed, but can be trusted out in the house alone as well. She has a medium energy level, and her physical and mental needs are easily met with some play and a little training or mental enrichment each day. Rue does struggle with stranger danger, and also struggles with some dog reactivity in situations where she does not know the other dog. However, with gradual introductions to confident people, she can learn to trust them and will then become their favorite snuggle buddy. She does tend to sense when people are nervous around her, and may react negatively, so introductions to new people should be done on an as-needed basis only to minimize any extra stress to her (i.e. family, frequent visitors, dog sitters). Rue has successfully made several dog friends during training (with gradual intros) and she could live with a dog friend if that dog friend has the right temperament (laid back, non-assertive) and is introduced correctly. A confident, calm dog friend would actually be beneficial for Rue. Rue walks well on a leash, but if she is to be walked as a main form of exercise, care must be taken to ensure she has the space she needs from strangers and strange dogs while doing so. This special girl has been in our foster system for a long time, and although her current foster is very dedicated to her and her success and training, we want nothing more than to see this girl in a home of her own. She deserves that!! One look into her soulful, gorgeous eyes, and we know you’ll be hooked.

From one of our trainers!
Hey guys!! I just wanted to send out another reminder, after discovering that an adopter was using a prong collar on their MARR dog...

It is in our adoption and our foster contracts that we do not allow aversive training tools (big three would be prong, choke chain, and e-collars) to be used on dogs who are in or come through our program.

Board member Jay Pratte (who is an accomplished zoo behaviorist), I , and others have developed a training/behavior philosophy for the rescue based on current studies and science that have shown overwhelming evidence that a low-conflict, reward-based approach to training is far more effective long-term, and is much more supportive of relationship and trust building with these dogs as well.

Martingale collars, flat collars, Y-shaped harnesses, and in some cases, head collars, are all very effective and acceptable! No tool is a magic fix (and if it seems like it is...it's not without fallout). It’s reinforcement, repetition and relationship that makes the training work 🤓

I am happy to dog-nerd out with you on any training and behavior related questions you might have, but I just want to be very clear that if you are using the mentioned aversive tools (or similar tools... Starmark or dominant dog collars, unlimited slip leads (except for occasional quick transfers from crate to yard, for example), etc) you will be in violation of your contract with us.

I hate to even have to send this message, but it's not the first time that we have discovered that these guidelines were being ignored. Please understand that these guidelines were carefully developed and serve a specific purpose and strategy.

I know I speak for the board and all the dogs who rely on you all to save their lives that we appreciate you all SO MUCH!!! So many of you change your entire lives around to help one of these dogs. We could not do what we do without you!!

If you need help with behaviors, tools, or even locating a trainer that follows our philosophy, we are here for you!! 🙂

🌷SPRING FUNDRAISER MEDICAL CASE HIGHLIGHT🌻
Koa was not eating and was lethargic so he had x-rays and bloodwork done. They found a tumor in his Spleen and enlarged lymph nodes which led to an ultrasound. A needle aspiration was done that was inconclusive but the vet fears it is likely Lymphoma. We decided to keep him as a Forever Foster so we can help provide care and support to his Angel Foster. This way, for whatever time he has left, he gets to stay with the people he loves and who love him.

We will be holding a LIVE facebook raffle on Saturday May 11th @ 11am CENTRAL TIME!!

Grand prize winner will receive one gift certificate for a custom 8x10 portrait of your pet (valued at $180) AND a sterling silver/0.11ctw diamond dog paw necklace(valued at $116)!! Photos below.
