"They are a wonderful No-kill rescue that works tirelessly to save, train and find homes for abandoned and traumatized Dogs. Not only that, but they are part of the EPIC Program, allowing some of their Dogs to be used to rehabilitate and train people in the Correctional System. My Sister adopted a Dog from them named Lola and she’s still loved and a member of our family. She found her forever home because of MCR"

"Meridian canine rescue has saved countless canine lives since its creation and has focused on giving dogs the safest possible rescue environment. They understand how stressful and this time can be for dogs and they do everything possible to mitigate that. They have done a great job at implementing a prison training program that saves canine lives by training them for their future homes, but provides meaningful work for incarcerated people. They’ve done so much amazing work for our community and deserve all the accolades."

"This shelter goes above and beyond to help animals. When we had to surrender our dog no shelter would take him due to his anxiety and bad behavior. Meridian canine accepted him and the dog had progressed so much."

"The Meridian Canine Rescue is amazing. My family adopted one of our dogs there several years ago and since then have been fans. Their mission of no dog should walk alone means so much to me because you can see them living up to it every day. They do everything they possibly can to give the best quality of life to their rescues and make them the most adoptable dogs they can be. The staff and volunteers as well are always so generous and kind."

"Meridian Canine Rescue is a warm and loving place where dogs with behavioral issues can learn to be part of a loving family again. This shelter is a no kill shelter that depends on the donations they receive from the public. In their previous rescue they even built tiny houses so each dog could feel what home life is like. They have now acquired a new home where dogs and owners alike can be educated. This rescue and the folks within in are an amazing and loving family!!"

"The Meridian Canine Rescue is an amazing shelter that does everything they can to help dogs in the area get adopted. We adopted a dog from them years ago and they still remember him and care so much about all their pets. They also offer free classes to help reactive dogs and training which is an incredible useful resource. My family always goes out of our way to support them no matter what. The people who run the rescue and volunteers are all great people."

"MCR takes time to work with dogs that have behavioral or physical or other problems that cause them to be unadoptable. They never give up and do a very fine job."

"Meridian Canine Rescue is an exceptional rescue. Through the five years I have volunteered there, many changes have occurred. The best change is that they are taking in surrendered dogs with behavioral issues to rehabilitate them so they can find a furever home. By rehabilitating the dogs and educating families on how to help their own dogs, they are trying to reduce the amount of dogs surrendered to shelters/rescues. Please help this wonderful rescue to continue this important work."
