My story

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

Monica is a highly intelligent, gentle, quiet, quick to learn, dog. She loves being near her people, whether that be curled up in a dog bed watching TV with us, lying on the floor near the kitchen while dinner is cooked, or sitting outside in the sunshine watching the squirrels and birds while her foster mom drinks her coffee. Monica loves being in nature, smelling the air and enjoying the sunshine. She walks very well on a leash and loves stopping to smell all the great smells. She enjoys chin scratches, ear rubs, and relaxing together. Monica is extremely responsive, wanting to please, and changes her behavior when requested with a simple gentle verbal command. She loves to snuggle in blankets with her favorite stuffed toys. When we venture out to pet stores or on walks, she gets along with everyone that she meets, dog and human alike. She is doing great with learning that cats can be friends, and would likely do well in a home with cats, with some gentle training and slow introduction. Monica came to her foster’s home with extreme anxiety but has been making HUGE progress toward feeling safe and doing well in her crate. She now sleeps all night in her crate with no problems, and has a tail wag and a kiss for her foster mom in the mornings. Monica really enjoys being with “her” people, and would love to be in a home with a stay-at-home parent or someone who works from home. She has also done great accompanying her foster family on adventures such as looking for a Christmas tree or going shopping. Note: Monica is still learning to be safe in the world again, after being in a shelter with her puppies. She may have anxiety around separation and being in her cage / crate as she transitions to her forever family, so adopters that will be understanding and supportive are essential. (Her foster mom has learned ways that soothe her and help ease her anxiety and would love to share those with her forever family.)

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.
