Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Rush is being fostered in IN currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. Rush is a deaf one year old neutered male Rottweiler with a tail. He was born in a Nebraska shelter and adopted as a puppy to a family. They loved him but didn’t have time to give him attention or training, so he returned to the shelter. A second family adopted him and realized he is deaf, but didn’t have the skills to train him; Rush went back to the shelter. Rush came to MARR’s foster network in July 2025 and has proved to be a friendly, playful puppy. He adores playtime with his resident dog friends, a neutered male three year old Rottweiler and a spayed six year old female Rottweiler. Rush has gone to dog day care and boarding and thrives with attention from people and other dogs. At home on walks he is learning to walk with a leash and has no issues encountering people, cars, children, large trucks or bicycles. In his first home Rush did live with little children and interacted well with them. Rush behaves well with vet staff and has no issues with body handling or getting vaccines. He has learned to accept nail trims and will hold still for those while getting pets and treats. He cooperates with having his teeth brushed twice a day. For meal times, Rush has learned to sit and wait before getting his two cups of Purina Puppy One. He accepts treats gently. Chew toys and balls are favorites for playtime, and he really enjoys eviscerating stuffed toys. Tug of war is a favorite game he plays with any dog or person. Anytime he has to stay at home because his foster person is out for errands, Rush will gladly go to his crate for a nap. At night he sleeps in a crate adjacent to his foster person. Occasionally it seems Rush may hear a distinct noise, or sense a vibration, or pick up a scent and alert everyone with a bark of alarm. However, that alarm only happens on occasion. Otherwise, he is a quiet boy who only vocalizes during playtime if he wants to initiate play. Rush understands the hand signals to cue sit and down. He does not seem to be highly treat motivated. Rather he really enjoys play and being with people.

The other dog must be accepting to Axel’s puppy energy. Gets Along with Cats: Unknown Housetrained:  Does well but will have an occasional accident Crate trained: Yes Gets Along with Men: Yes, He is very people oriented. Gets Along with Women: Yes - He is very people oriented. Gets Along with Kids: lives with 5 young children, two being toddlers. One of his favorite past time activities is running and playing with the kids outside. Temperament: Playful, Happy & full of Energy, Cuddly, Loves Affection, There is no personal space with this boy as he loves to cuddle. 😊 Needs Experienced Owner: .   Axel is a very sweet boy who loves affection and cuddles. When it’s time to eat, he will sit and wait until he is released before he starts. His recall is great! Axel is happy to see anyone that comes to visit because that means he gets more cuddles. Axel still has a lot of puppy in him as he loves to chew on everything along with wanting to run and play. Axel will excel with an active owner who is willing to help him use up his puppy energy in a positive way and stimulate his puppy brain. Many Rotties excel in nose work, carting, agility and obedience, just to name a few. He will also make an excellent hiking partner.

Story
Olivia is about 11 yrs old. She came to my home in Texas . I believe she was abandoned or ran away from a bad situation. I have had her 10 yrs. When she first came to my home she had oil on her fur the groomer I took her to said there was evidence of pellet shots and rose thorns on her. She needs to be the only dog in the house. She doesn’t need to be around children, though she’s never bitten she has nipped. She’s a very good girl, otherwise. A vet visit last year revealed an old pelvis fracture but she seems to get around fine. It takes her a while to warm up to men, just be gentle and consistent. She does have a jealous streak and can be protective of her food from other pets. She doesn’t get a long with our other dog. She has a nail defect on her right back paw and needs muzzle and calming medicine for nail care. I love her very much much and she needs a loving home.

Story
Hi there! My name is Owlette! I’m a loyal pup who loves my people so much that I’d really prefer to have all of your attention to myself — that means I need to be the only dog in the home. I promise I have enough love, personality, and zoomies to fill the whole house anyway! I’d also do best in a home without cats. They’re just not really my thing, and I’d rather skip the drama. Before I pack my toys and move in, I’d love to meet everyone in the household to make sure we’re the perfect match. Building trust and friendships is super important to me! One more thing — apartment life isn’t for me. I’d be happiest in a home with a little more space where I can stretch my legs, relax, and enjoy life comfortably. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will love you with their whole heart, I just might be your perfect match! Owlette is available on a first come, first served basis. To meet this pet, please come to the shelter during adoption hours, fill out a survey with your information, and then you`ll meet with an adoption coordinator who will introduce you and walk you through the adoption process.
