About MPBR
Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue was founded in 2009. Our rescue is a completely volunteer based organization that is working to change the perception of pit bull type dogs. We work hard to find solid homes for the dogs in our program and require obedience training to strengthen the bond between dog and owner and inspire them to become ambassador canine citizens. We do believe this is what sets us apart from other organizations and keeping our return rate low.
Our average annual intake is about 100 dogs per year with our 10th year on track to hopefully double that. As a 501(c) non-profit we operate solely on volunteers, foster homes and donations (both physical and financial). We have approximately 100 volunteers in our organization and 20-30 foster homes on a full-time or temporary basis.
Adoption fees do not cover all of our expenses as many dogs come in with medical needs that are higher than their adoption fee. Many of the dogs entering our program have been coming up from Texas where they have far fewer resources than we have here in Minnesota. Many of these dogs come with worms, intestinal parasites, and other varying medical conditions which can require veterinary care such as surgeries, limb amputations, blood transfusions, and medications.
