📍Location: Martinsville, IN
🐾 FOSTER NEEDED for Tank Bigsby, the mellow rottie lovebug everyone at the shelter adores! 🖤 This 2-year-old neutered male was found as a stray in Martinsville, Indiana, and quickly became a staff favorite.

Tank is easygoing, sweet, and polite with both male and female staff. He’s calm during vet checks, loves affection, and will lean in with eyes closed for head scratches 🥺💛 While he’s got a chill vibe, he does need a few treat-taking manners (he’s a foodie, okay?) and a safe space to settle in. Once settled in, he could be a great family dog!

🐶 Dog-neutral
🐱 Cat-indifferent
🍖 Food motivated
👀 Diagnosed with Pannus, an eye condition treated with daily drops (about $45/month), manageable and non-life threatening.

Chapo is looking for his HOME. Currently, he is being fostered in MO, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area(detail in post).
Chapo is a sweet, loyal, and playful boy who can be a bit nervous meeting new people. He does best when he can come to you on his own terms, at his own pace. He will start sniffing & nudging when he’s ready for pets. Chapo seems to prefer women over men, and can be especially protective of children. He has experience around kids aged 4 & 6 years. While Chapo does not currently live with any small dogs, he has done well with one through a fence. He is very playful and submissive with both male & female large dogs. It is unknown how he is with cats. Chapo is still learning to heel and behave well on a leash. Although he is usually correctable, he will occasionally pull & whine if another dog seems reactive. He does know “sit, down, come, muzzle, shake, and go home (go to his crate).” In fact, he willingly goes into his crate every night. He is not food aggressive & will wait for permission to eat. While he is still learning how to take treats gently, he is very food motivated & is great at catching them! Chapo has grown & made so much improvement in the time he has been in foster care! He’s a silly, playful pup at heart, very treat motivated & learned house rules & crate training very quickly. He loves his foster family & loves to be near his humans. He also plays well by himself & loves to play with all toys & balls. He knows when to calm down & will be quiet & sleep all day quietly in his crate if you work nights. He tends to be skittish & anxious meeting new people, so slow, gradual intros are an absolute must. Please be patient with him & let him come to you on his own terms. When he’s ready to meet you, he typically comes to sniff you on his own. He’ll show he’s uncomfortable by barking at you. He is muzzle trained, this may be the best option when meeting new people.

🎉🎉🎉FOSTER FOUND!🎉🎉🎉

🐾This little girl has the MOST expressive eyes, just begging you to Foster her!! At the moment, she is in a Shelter in Valparaiso, Indiana. Transport is available for Foster within MARR’s coverage area(more details at end of post).🐾

✨Trixie came into the shelter as a stray, not chipped and no one has claimed her. The shelter has had applications for her but they want to place her with a knowledgeable Rottweiler owner. She is a high energy puppy who has a nice kennel presence. She is spunky and confident and thrives around people. She has no issues around men, women, children or dogs. She has not been cat tested. Staff have not seen any triggers that affect her. Notes from evaluator: Trixie is very friendly and gentle, she knows sit and shake. She came right up to me and likes her treats. She clearly has never had any training but is treat-motivated and very trainable. She does not have resource guarding tendencies. Trixie is playful and you can take toys away from her. She will mouth the toy and bring it to you. Trixie will walk past other dogs in the kennels without a problem. Physically, she could use some weight as her ribs are showing and she is still growing. She has a healthy coat and her eyes are alert. She also has an expressive tail. Trixie is eager to be with people and explore. She is a very sweet girl who loves human contact and interaction. She is very bright and loving and seems to demonstrate very desirable traits as a canine companion. Do you have a place in your home for this sweet girl?!✨

🐾 Meet PJ, the sweetest 7-year-old pocket female Rottweiler 🖤

PJ is a gentle, spayed girl looking for a calm and loving FOSTER HOME. She adores people (even kids!) and would be happiest lounging by your side soaking up affection.

✨ She’s crate-trained, house-trained, and recently updated on all her vaccines.
✨ Enjoys chill walks over intense runs due to her arthritis, just needs a little patience around loud noises and busy streets.
✨ PJ is dog-selective, so she’d thrive best as your one and only, or with a calm dog after very slow introductions.
✨ No cats, please 🐱

💬 The MARR team absolutely fell in love with her sweet, soulful personality. She’s a true couch buddy with a lot of love to give.

🐾 We are urgently seeking a foster home for Cleopatra (deadline below)💜

📍 Located: Mishawaka, IN 🌎
‼️DEADLINE: July 24, 2025‼️
(Potential extension)

Meet Cleopatra: a smart, playful 3 year old girl who’s been at the shelter since June 12th. She’s had great care from the staff, but she’s ready for her next chapter in a calm, experienced foster home.

💫 Cleopatra’s shining qualities:
• Food-motivated & eager to learn
• Walks nicely on a leash
• Non-reactive to seeing cats through a window
• Responds well to her favorite people

She’s a little cautious with new people and may take time to warm up, especially around men (current staff are all women). She’ll need some help with food/toy guarding and feels nervous during vet care so a muzzle is recommended for those visits.

Cleopatra has SO much potential with the right person. If you’ve got a calm space and a soft spot for overlooked pups, this sweet girl would love a chance to shine outside of the shelter.

💙❤️Freedom Friday ❤️💙

Ace, Stella and Zoey Rae decided they wanted to celebrate their freedom by wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸

We also wanted to remind anyone who has a dog to take extra PRECAUTIONS this weekend‼️

🔴Ensure your dog has access to shelter and plenty of water due to the HOT temperatures expected this weekend.

⚪️Keep your dogs INSIDE during the fireworks. Loud noises and bright lights can be extremely scary causing pets to run away and hide. Avoid the stress of losing your pet by safely securing them inside before you participate in the festivities.

🔵Lastly, here are some other tips to help keep your pet comfortable including: playing soothing music, leaving on a TV for noise, and contacting your vet about a calming agent to help your dog get through the weekend. Remember to be patient and understanding with your pet. Fun for you doesn’t mean fun for them.🙌🏽

ALSO…. Ace, Stella Rose and Zoey Rae are currently available for adoption. 🎇

🎉Cella has been adopted from the Shelter!!🎉

🔥 Meet Cella — a spunky 7 year old female with a spark! 🐾

Cella is a quirky, energetic gal who’s been through a lot and is so ready for a stable, loving FOSTER HOME.

🖤 Friendly with dogs but prefers chill pups
🖤 No cats, please
🖤 House- and crate-trained
🖤 Walks great on leash, no reactivity
🖤 Can be shy with strangers at first, but warms up with time & patience
🖤 Best in a calm home, possibly with older children

Cella is affectionate once she really bonds with people she knows. When she’s comfy, you’ll see her cuddly, goofy side come out. Shelter staff absolutely adore her and believe she just needs the right person to give her the stability and love she deserves.

Lucky Boy is looking for a foster home 💙🐾

Lucky Boy was found as a stray and sent to Kansas Humane Society. Because he was not responding well to the kennel environment, he has been moved to a temporary boarding facility. When an evaluator visited him at the shelter, her experience was that he enjoyed pets and affection. He allowed body handling and was able to walk past other kenneled dogs without any reaction. At shelter during vet exam, he wore a muzzle and staff vaccinated him for distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza and rabies. He is heartworm negative. Lucky Boy wasn't too interested in treats but hasn't had a problem with resource guarding food or toys per the shelter. He will play fetch but is easily distracted by other dogs and the environment. Lucky Boy seems very active and appears to be somewhat aloof and unbothered. This will likely change once he is fully decompressed in a stable foster home. Staff had observed that Lucky Boy does not like being touched on collar. Upon further conversations with boarding staff, we learned that he and another dog were beginning a kerfuffle at a barrier and a staff person intervened by pulling Lucky Boy by his collar, we strongly recommend the use of a slip lead to prevent any issues in the future. Other than that, Lucky seems very loving and playful with humans. Lucky Boy has met a few men without issue and has been good with women. Physically he is in good health and looks well. Lucky Boy has pent up energy and needs activities or walks to calm him and help him focus. In boarding he only gets 4 to 5, 15 minute potty/exercise breaks daily. He will do best in the care and focus of an attentive owner to train and work with his energy levels. We believe he could live with another dog, but they will need slow and proper introductions to be successful. 🙌🏼

✨💖☀️👙🍉

MARR is dedicated to saving all Rottweilers regardless of their age, so we have decided to give our senior girls the spotlight they deserve.
Zoey Rae & Zailey are currently senior dogs who are available for adoption. The girls are not a pair, they are being fostered by separate individuals and would go to separate homes.

We want to increase senior adoptions because we know just how much senior dogs have to offer. Senior dogs are perfect for laid back households who want a couch potato and a snuggle buddy. You won’t need to spend hours after work running off your dogs energy because senior dogs are just happy that you are home. Don’t have time to teach commands like “sit” “stay” or “down”? Don’t worry our senior girls are smart and already know their basic commands. Did we mention you could completely skip the potty training and chewing your favorite shoes phase? That is definitely something to brag about. Worried that maybe your senior dog is gonna be boring? False, our senior girls love toys, treats, and affection just like any other pup. Don’t discount giving a senior dog a chance because they are just as lovable and deserving as the rest.❣️🐾

In case, that didn’t change your mind we have one more trick up our sleeve. MARR is officially offering a medical stipend for any senior dog adopted. That means that MARR is willing to reimburse $1,000 for approved medical expenses on any senior dog adopted. (More details regarding the medical stipend will be discussed during the adoption process). This can help take the stress and worry about expensive medical bills out of the equation so you can just focus on loving your new senior companion. We believe all dogs deserve good homes and we are dedicated to ensuring no senior dog is forgotten. 🐶❤️🙌🏼
