Maddy

**NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE** ... We are so busy with rescuing and caring for animals and can't return everyone's inquiry. If you are interested in adopting this pet...You must fill out the adoption application at: http://www.marlcares.org/adopt_app-dog.php (cut and paste into your browser) PLEASE READ all the following info. We do not reply to inquiries asking if the dog is still available, if it is listed here, then it is still available. Maddy's owners had to give her up because they lived in a town that had a breed ban...they did not allow pitbulls. A neighbor reported them for having a pitbull and when the police came to take her and euthanize her...the owners wouldn't let them in and then late that night drove her to someone who got to us. Maddy lived with other dogs large and small and cats. Her dad was a truck driver so she frequently went on long road trips with him....so she is always ready for a car ride and loves it and is a well mannered passenger. She loves toys and balls. She loves to cuddle and will snuggle in under the covers at night and keep your toes warm. Maddy is very affectionate and very well behaved. She loves everyone she meets and everyone loves her. Maddy loves to play with other dogs and curl up with them when it is nap time. Maddy was born Aug 5th 2017. Maddy loves to play tug with other dogs. Maddy is looking for a home that will love her and make her their BFF. $150 adoption fee, spayed/neutered, microchipped, current vaccinations, and currently kennel trained. ADOPTION APPLICATION: If you are interested in this pet you must fill out the Adoption Application…which you can find on this site or you can copy and paste this link … http://www.marlcares.org/adopt_app-dog.php This does not obligate you in any way. If this does not work for you then you can email us at [email protected] for one. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US BEFORE READING THE FOLLOWING INFO: Your inquiry may not get a reply if you have not read the info we have taken the time to provide. PLEASE READ about our ADOPTION PROCESS AND REQUIREMENTS provided on this site before contacting us. You can find it quickly by clicking on our NAME or MORE ABOUT US in the column to the right of this pet’s description. All your questions can be answered by reading the following info provided below. Our pets are fostered in the Memphis Area, a tri-state area, TN/AR/MS. Most are fostered in Red Banks, MS. We do not allow meetings with any of our dogs until we have your Adoption Application. Adopting a new family member should involve a well-thought out and deliberate process. This is not an impulse purchase. Please understand that we do not want these animals to be homeless again. We try to complete the process as quickly as possible and appreciate all the applications and will consider each and every one we receive. Filling out the Adoption Application does not obligate you in any way, but simply tells us a little bit about you and whether you and this pet would be a good fit for each other. We will call you after we receive your application and answer all your questions and talk to you about this pet. After being approved, we will set up a time to bring the pet to meet you and your family and pets or set up a time for you to meet the pet at the foster home. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. Rescue is a full time job every day. Please know because we are so very busy with the dogs along with processing applications, updating webpage’s, rescuing, in many vet appointments, caring for seniors and hospice dogs, etc, etc that we are not able to return phone calls or emails asking if this dog is still adoptable, how much is it to adopt, is it house trained etc…We have included all the info we have on this dog at this current time and update the bio as we learn more about them. We kennel train all the dogs and will indicate if there are housebreaking issues that we have discovered. We update our site regularly so if the dog is listed here they are in fact adoptable, but may have applications coming in on them, so if you are interested, you need to get your application in now. **WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY ADOPTION** Our first concern is the happiness and welfare of the animal. We respect our potential adoptors and appreciate your interest in adopting one of our pets. We care about you too and that you are getting the right fit for your home and lifestyle. By following our process, together we can make sure you are getting the right pet.** NOTE: We prefer to adopt in the Mid-South AREA, usually no more than 1-2 hours away in driving distance. It is up to the foster home, how far they are willing to drive. We rarely adopt long distance, but will consider each and every application. MidSouth Animal Rescue League is an all breed, 501c3, non-profit organization that prefer to rescue senior dogs and special cases. WE LOVE ROTTWEILERS...With 20 years of experience with our beloved ROTTWEILER breed, and little help for this breed in our area, we try to focus on rescuing them and try not to ever have to turn any away that need us…especially the seniors that end up in shelters. Currently, we have several senior rottweilers in our hospice foster program. We always need more fosters so that we never have to say NO to them or other seniors. We have also started a community relief effort specifically in the Red Banks, MS area not far from us, called The Dog House Project, where we go door to door providing dog houses to dogs on chains and other dogs and cats without proper shelter, including straw in cold temps, as well as food and other supplies as needed. We offer free spay/neuter services to those animals and continue to check on them all year. To date many have been spayed and neutered and some have been surrendered from their neglected lives on chains. We are making a difference and need your donations to continue this program. We always need igloo type dog houses. MidSouth Animal Rescue League relies on the kindness, generosity, and financial support of people like you so that we can continue to rescue and care for dogs like this one. We are a group of dedicated volunteers who respond to animals in need in shelters, strays, and from individuals. We receive no federal or state funds and are supported solely by private donations. Many of the animals we save are in need of special medical care or surgery to bring them back to health before they can be placed. Veterinary care, vaccinations, tests, x-rays, medications, spay and neutering, heartworm prevention, flea/tick prevention, worming, food, kennels, grooming, and other supplies are provided for each dog while in our care.
