MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue (MARR) was founded in March 1999. This rescue organization was formed because we saw a need for a rescue network in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. While some of these states have strong and successful rescue groups, there are gaps in area coverage and some states have no rescues at all. MARR is supported solely through charitable donations and the fundraising efforts of its members and is a nonprofit corporation, recognized as a public charity with federal nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. All donations are fully tax-deductible allowable by federal income tax code. We are always looking for Rottweiler enthusiasts of all experience levels who are interested in breed and a desire to help. There is something for everyone to do!

Adoption Policies
We are happy to hear from people interested in giving one of our wonderful dogs a responsible, lifelong home. Rottweilers become deeply attached and devoted to their families. They were bred to share in all aspects of their family’s daily life – being with you in your home and going with you when you go out. They thrive being near you with a head or paw in your lap. Our Rottweilers are adopted as inside family pets only. If you feel you may not truly enjoy having a dog’s constant companionship, enjoy having him sleep in your bedroom at night and share your activities by day, then you may be happier with a breed less oriented to human companionship.
Much like toddlers, puppies cannot go all day long in a crate and need to be let out often, so as a general rule, on the rare occasion we have one in foster, preference is given to homes where someone is home during the day or part thereof.
Adoption Requirements
• Highly preferred previous large breed ownership experience.
• Demonstrated responsible dog ownership, and primary care of a dog include spay/neutering of current family pets.
• All pets are up to date on vaccinations and (dogs) heartworm tested and on preventative.
• We prefer yards fenced in by chain link, wrought iron, or privacy fencing. Homes with no fences will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Invisible fencing is not acceptable.
Additional Requirements
• Proof of homeowners insurance that covers Rottweilers.
• If you rent, we require a letter from your landlord giving you permission to keep a Rottweiler on the premises and you must have Renter’s Insurance that covers Rottweilers. Many insurance companies will cancel your homeowner’s policy if you own a Rottweiler. The adopter must check with his or her carrier to ensure coverage will remain in place.
• Demonstrated financial stability and must be at least 21 years of age.
Step 1
You will need to complete an application (fill out the form online or print and mail it in.)
While we are reviewing your application, you can view all the dogs and puppies that are currently in need of a home on our Website, Facebook page, Petfinder.com, Rescueme.org, and Adoptapet; however, it is probably easier to wait until you are approved as the dog you inquire about might be adopted by the time you complete the application process.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DOG YOU APPLY FOR WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE AVAILABLE WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE APPLICATION PROCESS. But there is never a shortage of dogs coming into rescue.**
Step 2
Once we’ve received your application, we will review the information, conduct reference checks, and we’ll call your veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, on heartworm prevention, and well cared for. For renters, we’ll check with your landlord to ensure that dogs are permitted and that the dog you’re adopting wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions.
Step 3
We will schedule a home visit. During your home visit, we will have brief conversation with you to determine your needs and preferences, find out about your daily schedule, and talk about your previous experience with pets. The home visit and interview are to make sure your new pet has an environment with everything it needs and to make sure that the dog you are interested in is right for your whole family and lifestyle. It is also an opportunity to offer you further information on how to care for your Rottweiler, from vaccinations to diet and supplements, and for you to ask any questions you might have.
**All family members living in the household need to be present for the home visit.
Step 4
Once your home visit has been completed, you will be notified if you are approved, and we will give you the details of the foster parents of the Rottweiler you are interested in, so you can ask questions of the foster. A meeting should be arranged with the foster parent / Rottweiler and any current pets living in the household.
Step 5
Once you have been matched with a Rottweiler, you will work with the foster home to arrange a date/time to pick up the dog; we will not ship any animal. To finalize the adoption process, you will need to sign the adoption contract and provide the adoption fee at the time of the adoption.

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
