Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Welcome To My Homepage!Click the paw to go directly to Our Adoption Information http://www.adoptarott.org/info/sponsorshipMeet Libby, Libby is starting a brand new life in her foster home.   A good samaritan found Libby in a neighborhood limping on her front leg.  She asked local residents if they knew where she lived and they all said no – she had been wondering around for a while and the locals were throwing her scraps of food.  This wonderful lady brought Libby back to her house and searched for her owner to no avail so she contacted MARR.  We believe Libby came from a back yard breeder as she never lived in a house or worse yet, never knew the love of a human.   Well, those days are behind her now!  Libby is a brand new dog!  Before you saw fear in her eyes and now all you see is smiles and happiness.    We took Libby to the vet because of her limp and found out she does have a tumor that is growing in between the pads of her front left foot which hurts very much.  She is scheduled to have it removed on the 22nd of this month.  Right now, she is getting plenty of rest and some good quality food to build up her strength for her upcoming surgery.     Note from her Foster Mom: Out of all the dogs I have fostered (around 35) Libby is one of the special ones.  She is such a sweet dog and is so grateful and happy to be part of a family.  She is truly amazing.  Libby gets along with all dogs – big and small and cats. She is a gentle soul who deserves nothing but the best.  We are working on teaching Libby basic obedience as she knew nothing when she came to live with us just a few days ago.  Please consider opening your home to Libby as she deserves to be pampered and lovedVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Welcome To My Homepage!Click the paw to go directly to Our Adoption Information http://www.adoptarott.org/info/sponsorship  06-25-14 Update:Tyson what a cuddler! He loves to lie at your side and get petted. Tyson is kennel and potty trained as well. Tyson isn't much into playing with toys or fetch.  He was an outside dog and that is still in him he loves to be outside lounging. Tyson does well with all people and kids but would recommend older kids 4 and up. He gets along great with big dogs but not small dogs or cats as he sees them as prey. He's getting better on the leash but does pull.04-15-14 Update: Tyson has been here almost a month and is quite the gentleman! Tyson hasn't had an accident for 2 weeks now. He walks ok on a leash he's just in a hurry to smell everything. He plays great with all the dogs and loves to play ball. Tyson will be your best friend he has the rottie lean wants to please you. He does good kenneling up when asked.Hello, I'm Tyson and been with my foster family for a little while now and it's going well. I've been told it's not ok to pee in the house so I'm getting into trouble a lot with that issue.  (Tyson will be neutered very soon so that will help) I've also been told the trash can is not my plate, but they put so much good food in there I can't resist!  I love my kennel so I lay in there a lot as I'm still nervous.  Noises and quick movements make me jump. I get along great with my foster brother and we play outside quite a bit. I love to snuggle with my humans at bed time and they even let me sleep in the bed.  I have been an outside dog all my life, so I just need some work on my manners and I will be a great dog!  Please check back soon for more about me!Notes from the Shelter:Meet Tyson!  He is a 6 year old Rottweiler mix who came into our shelter about 3 months ago.  He has been a yard dog his entire life before entering the shelter system.  Coming out of that situation he is really quite social with both people and dogs. No issues seen with people.  Tyson has interacted successfully with everybody that I have seen him with.  Men and women, he lived in a home with at least one child but we have not had him with children here at the shelter.   No resource guarding food, toys, bones, beds, etc from people.  We do not group house so could not tell you accurately how he is with resources and other dogs.   As I said earlier, Tyson has been a yard dog, so I have a pretty good idea that he will not tolerate cats or small prey animals.  He is very focused on the cats in our cat room, they are behind a barrier but I would not feel safe having him loose with the cats.  Could some 'leave it' training and redirection benefit Tyson?  For sure, but probably not  a dog that I would ever trust alone (w/o supervision).    Tyson is a staff favorite here at our shelter.  Just a big goofy rottie!  He would be up for any adventure and I could see him doing really well in a home with previous rott experience.

Story

Gracie is still shy and timid but is gaining more confidence every day.  She tries to play with the other dogs but when they want to play she leaves. Gracie would do best with a female as the owner as she lets males pet her though she don't listen to them;)  She loves to play with toys and get belly rubs! She definitely has lots to offer once she gains your trust.06-25-14 Update from Gracie's foster Mom:Gracie is a very sweet shy lady who loves attention. She is kennel trained and potty trained. Gracie gets along great with the 3 male dogs I have, she plays with them all. Gracie likes to play outside and play fetch and is still learning how to return it me. She plays nicely with toys inside and loves treats. Gracie is still very shy and timid around new people and men so would need to be adopted with a female in the home. Gracie does well with kids 8 and up; sudden movement still shakes her up. On walks Gracie does great she's an easy walker very laid back.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Welcome To My Homepage!Click the paw to go directly to Our Adoption Information http://www.adoptarott.org/info/sponsorship07-24-14Last weekend MARR took in a new foster named Arya.  She was left chained up in her back yard but when the city changed their laws to no longer allowed chained dogs, she ended up at a shelter.  She is around 1-2 years old.  Arya gets along great with dogs and so far the cats - although she sure watches them pretty close!   We’re pretty sure she also had a litter of pups at one time.  Arya is heartworm positive and this morning she checked into the Animal Hospital to start her treatment.  They ran blood test, urine test, and did x-rays.  There is no protein in her urine and one side of her heart is a little larger than the other.  She is a stage 2 out of 4, which means that the symptoms of heartworm infection are serious enough that they can generally be detected.  Arya will receive one injection today, a second one tomorrow and then will be allowed to go back home for cage rest.  She is as sweet as can be and only wants to crawl in your lap and be loved.  She is only 64lbs so it is pretty easy.  Please say prayers for a safe and effective treatment for Arya!!!  Hopefully she will be able to make it to Rottapalooza so everyone can meet this sweet angel.    If you would like to make a donation towards Arya’s heartworm treatment, you can find more information on doing so here - http://www.adoptarott.org/info/donate Arya will be able to go to her new home at the end of August if her new family agrees to follow up with her heart worm treatment.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Welcome To My Homepage!Click the paw to go directly to Our Adoption Information http://www.adoptarott.org/info/sponsorship11/19/2013: Hi I am Angel and that is the perfect name for me, I didn't get the best start in life and my original owners were very mean to me and made me not trust any people. They didn't take care of me and abused me and then dumped me but that is when I was found by a REAL angel who took me in and nursed me back to health and then found MARR for me. Since then I have learned that not all people are mean and though I am always leery of new people at first but once you've earned my trust I will show you more love and loyalty than you could ever imagine. I love my foster daddy and playing with my foster brother Reuben, he is twice my size but he's so soft and let's me push him around. I really love it when we go to Cathy's house where I can play with all the other dogs that live around there, I am not even afraid of Big Boss B the Great Dane, she thinks she's tough but whatever. Although I love it here my foster daddy works too much and says I would be happier in a home where someone has more time for me, I don't know how I could be any happier but that's what he says. They tell me I'm 3-4 years old but my foster daddy says my teeth are so clean I couldn't. be more than three and that I am full of puppy energy but I can calm down very easily we I need to. Can you give me my furever home? I will love you more then you could ever imagine!9/12/13: An update on Angel. She attached to me and is with me all the time.  Loves to ride in the truck now but had to work on that.  Likes being on the front porch with my husband.  Goes on walks with both of us.  Loves to run around the back yard and play with Dottie my sisters dog.  Loves treats and eats real good now.  I know that we are still getting to know her.  Probably more work to do and I'm willing to do it.  She needs a lot of love and i feel she has a lot to give with work. Angel is a super sweet girl who will attach herself to you very quickly but can be a little shy.  She loves to go for car rides or to just lie on the front porch with you.  Angel also enjoys romping around in the back yard with her fellow foster dogs and of course going on walks with her people.  She is a dog that will require some work but in turn, you will receive a lot of love in return!  Everyone needs an Angel.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
