Memphis Rottweiler Rescue

Adoption Guidelines You must be at least 21 years old to adopt from Memphis Rottweiler Rescue. We do not adopt out dogs on a first come, first serve basis. Instead, we try to match each dog with the adopter whose home environment and lifestyle best fits the needs of that specific dog. Homeowners & Renters • Homeowners - If you own your home, please be sure to check with your insurance provider to make sure that your homeowner’s insurance does not have any breed restrictions on your policy. • Renters - If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord to verify that you are allowed to have a Rottweiler or Pit Bull. Many apartment complexes and rental properties do not allow certain dog breeds (Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Chow Chows, etc.), which is why we always to want to verify everything with your landlord first. How to Adopt We require all potential adopters to submit an adoption questionnaire first. The information that you provide in the questionnaire will help us to determine which dog may be the best fit for your home and family. Each of our dogs is different from one another and several factors must be taken into consideration when placing a dog with an adopter. If we do not have your information from the adoption questionnaire, then we will not know which of our dogs would even be suitable for your home. So, in an effort to not waste your time, our time, or our foster’s time, we do require that the adoption questionnaire be submitted first. Note: Submitting an Adoption Questionnaire does not obligate you in any way to adopt from us. It is simply a starting point for the adoption process. After submitting your adoption questionnaire, if any of the dogs that might work well in your home do not appeal to you, that is ok! Reference Checks: We require a vet reference and two personal references. We will contact your veterinarian to make sure that the other animals in the household are up to date on routine medical care. This is done to protect both existing pets and any potential MRR dog that may be joining your family. Home Visit: The final step in the adoption process is the home visit, where we bring the dog to your home. We want to make sure our dogs are going into a home environment that is safe and secure for them. During this time we can also help you to properly introduce the dog to your current pets. MRR’s Adoption Fee • Adult dogs: $175 • Puppies: $200 The Adoption fee includes: • Spay or Neuter Surgery • Heartworm Test • Heartworm Treatment (for Heartworm Positive dogs only) • Vaccinations • Microchip All of our adoptable dogs are kept current on monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention.
