My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marilyn is an incredibly loving, affectionate girl who's absolutely gonna trust you with her life. She thrives on attention and will happily soak up all the cuddles you’re willing to give. She loves playing with other dogs and truly enjoys being part of the action.



She is potty trained and very disciplined — she consistently lets you know when she needs to go outside. On walks, she rarely gets overly distracted and does a great job staying focused.



With new people and unfamiliar dogs, Marilyn can be a little alert and curious at first, but she adjusts quickly. In our home, she was introduced (not even very slowly!) to our resident dog and cat and adapted surprisingly fast. 



She is very intelligent and already responds to several commands such as sit and lay down. She also waits patiently for her food and won’t eat until you give her permission — even if her bowl is already served. She does need continued obedience training, especially with managing overstimulation, but she is highly trainable and eager to learn.



As a mama dog coming from foster care, we believe that once she fully decompresses from the shelter environment and her hormones settle, she will blossom into an even more balanced and wonderful companion. She has all the potential to become an exceptionally obedient dog with consistency and structure.



Marilyn would do best in a home where:
    •    Items are not left on the floor (she’s still learning!)
    •    She has durable chew toys that don’t break easily
    •    She has stimulating toys, especially ones that make sounds
    •    She gets enough physical and mental exercise to stay balanced



She can stay home alone, but she needs to be well-exercised and mentally stimulated beforehand, along with plenty of safe chew toys.



Overall, Marilyn is an extremely affectionate, smart, and devoted dog who will thrive with a loving family willing to continue her training and provide structure. Honestly, we have the feeling that she is the kind of dog who would protect and care for you and your kids with her whole heart. With the right guidance, she is going to be an amazing lifelong companion and probably someone's soulmate.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events EVERY SATURDAY. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR THE LOCATION AND DATES OF OUR NEXT ADOPTION EVENT. www.rmpuppyrescue.org

Thank you for your interest in saving the lives of these beautiful pets through our foster and adoption program.

To all the people that have called and emailed in hopes of meeting a puppy before our event, we hope you can understand, we cannot meet between events. We truly appreciate you wanting to help by adoption but ask that you make our events. We are a foster based rescue, and all of us have full-time jobs. We simply can't arrange one on one meetings with all of our foster families, our puppies and all the people that want to meet them.

Please do not call the locations of our adoption events as they do not have any information on our available dogs and puppies. We match the family energy level and lifestyle to the puppy's energy level. We do have the right of refusal. Please check out our website at www.rmpuppyrescue.org to download our Pre-adoption form and Requirements form, print, fill out and bring in hand to the event. You can also submit your application online at our website.

Here are some other things we require:

- If you rent, YOU MUST BRING A COPY OF YOUR RENTERS/MORTGAGE AGREEMENT TO THE EVENT. We do this to confirm you own your house or if you rent you are allowed to have a pet in your home. NO EXCEPTIONS.We would like to see if there is a weight or breed restriction. No rescues will be adopted to those persons who do not bring a lease or agreement to the event.

- You must show a valid drivers license, and You must be 19 years or older.

-You MAY NOT bring your dog to our event. This is due to the fact that our puppies have immature immune systems.

-Any animals you own MUST be Spayed or Neutered. NO exceptions.

- RMPR adoption fees are $225-600 this includes your microchip, starter puppy food and of course lots of puppy love!

RMPR Does not take checks. We accept, cash, Visa, MC, and Discover. NO AMEX (sorry)

RMPR and its directors have the right to refuse the adoption for any reason. Please see our website www.rmpuppyrescue.org for more details on how to adopt.

We appreciate your interest in our lovely rescues. If you would like to join our Puppy Brigade through volunteering or fostering one of our rescues, we would love to have you. Please visit our website for more details.
