We applied to several different fosters, to try and fill a huge hole left by our late dog. MBR ran our app and Amy called to explain the intricacy of the dog (lillie), that she was terrified of men. That gesture immediately speaks volumes towards the character of the rescue personnel, and to myself as someone who is more interested in having a dog that's happy with us, then "just get any dog". A day later the dog's (lillie) foster called me and explained a bit more in depth from her own eyes. This reassured is into making a trip to meet lillie. We had a meet and greet at the MBR farm inside their playroom, then the foster met me and our OG dog for a walk, then we finally were convinced that we were the right fit for lillie.I wish my first rescue experience was like ours with Amy and MBR. I wish all rescue experiences were like what you'll receive at MBR, you'd end up with happier outcomes. We now volunteer at MBR cleaning and playing with the rescue and boarding dogs. The community that Amy has created is amazing, and the thoroughness of care every volunteer has is inspiring.
I recently moved to Grafton, and volunteer at Multiple Breed Rescue. It is incredible the work this group do to save dogs, and give them the best opportunity at a new life, no matter what it takes. Vet bills, medications, surgeries, even amputation are all covered by donations. The dogs are in foster care, where these amazing families nurture the dogs spirit back, and the right family comes along. Amy Hunt, works with the dogs that need their manners in check, along with all the fosters.
Seeing them in action, the amount of time and effort this group give to these poor, down and out dogs, pregnant mama dogs, unwanted puppies, picking them up immediately from shelters all over the State, to save their lives.
I adopted my precious senior through Mbr and know they do their best to
match the best adopter for all their rescues. I am so thankful they trusted me
to care for her. I try my best to support Mbr in any way I can because I see
time and again how they do their best to help the most desperate and needly and
that sadly Mbr may be their last chance. I am thankful every day that they saved
our sweet baby. Mbr is always the best of the best.

Absolutely nothing but the best always. Thank heavens for all of these wonderful
people doing so much for so many who need help. we first adopted from mbr
several years ago and treasure every moment we have had with our dogs.
i cannot thank them enough for the blessings they have brought to our iives.
i don't know how they manage to get through all the difficult times they encounter
but I know the heart of every dog they save will never never forget them.
Mbr is always the best of the best.
I haven’t fostered for a few years having my own Mastiff.
In the past I have fostered all the “big/bully breeds.
I currently have BMac a Mastiff mix who is THE best
Amy and all of the volunteers are THE best❤️
I adopted from MBR in 2017. It was such a great experience that I have been volunteering and supporting them any way I can. I appreciate that they check references and do their best to make a great match. They take in dogs that are sick and injured and pay for treatment and rehabilitate them. Their foster homes are great and allow dogs to decompress and heal and provide some training. I would highly recommend them if you were looking to adopt or if you are interested in fostering so they can save more dogs. The founder, Amy, is amazing and would save all the dogs if she could!
MBR was fantastic to work with when we were looking of our perfect new companion. The fosters that work with MBR are amazing and kind humans who take such good care of the pets in between shelter and their new/forever homes. The experience adopting from MBR was top notch and we are so happy to support such a great organization.
I have been waiting to do a review because words are not enough to say how wonderful MBR is. We have had several rescues in our lives and four now, but never one like Finnegan thru MBR. We live in MI and they are in Ohio. But saw a puppy that we had to have. They put us through a process, called our vet and references. Made our other rescue come to meet him. This made me really happy because it showed how much they care about these pups and dogs as well as their owners. MBR has become part of our life. Not a social media user but am with them. Check everyday for new rescues to share, look for what the need for supplies. I work with non profits and can say I have never seen one like this. The Board is tireless and do so much to save animals that never would have a chance. They have a volunteer base that goes up and above. They are all about rescuing dogs with no chance and are not about administrative costs, etc. like so many non profits and charities these days. They truly change lives and so grateful for them!!!
Great organization! Foster home based, 100 % volunteer. Good post adoption support.

We adopted our sweet senior girl, Abby, from MBR back in 2020. We thank MBR everyday for this sweet girl. This past March, we had the opportunity to foster another shih tzu! We were so excited to see the process and saw first hand that MBR does an excellent job at finding furever homes. Since fostering, I have decided to take on behind the scenes roles to help dogs find their furever match. MBR is a fantastic rescue who wants what's best for the dogs.
I've volunteered with MBR since 2021 in several different capacities including application processor and foster home. I love and support them completely. They are by far the most responsible dog rescue I've worked with, always placing the dog's best interest at the forefront. The owner and board members are all deeply devoted and do whatever they can to save as many dogs as is realistically possible. I truly cannot say enough about how impressed I am with MBR.
MBR is such a great organization! They take in the medical cases that others cannot or won’t. The love and care that they give each and every dog that comes to them is inspiring!
MBR is completely 100 percent volunteer run. They help as many dogs as they can. They tend to take the medical cases no one else will. I adopted my little guy from them back during COVID. They are a great group to volunteer with.
Twelve years ago I lost my boxer at 6 years old to cancer. I was heartbroken and it didn’t take me long to look for a new pet.
I contacted Amy Hunt at Multiple Breed rescue to find the perfect fit. Amy was compassionate and said she would let me know when a boxer became available. It didn’t take long for a litter of boxer/lab puppies to appear at the farm.
Amy contacted me and I was able to pick a pup from the litter that was the absolute best!! We named him Brady and he was our everything for the last 11 years. Brady crossed the rainbow bridge this past March. Always grateful to Multiple Breed Rescue for all the caring, advice and guidance through the years, not to mention boarding Brady when needed! I will always support this organization!
I have adopted 2 rescues from MBR. They were fabulous to with with and very honest. And both dogs were perfect for us!! I very highly recommend them. They truly care about the dogs in their care and want to make sure that they are placed in the correct home!
We adopted Gatsby from MBR four years ago. Since then, other family members have adopted as well! Such an amazing organization with great people who works the hardest to find great homes for all the dogs. Love MBR!
I have had the pleasure of adopting two Jack Russell Terriers from Multiple Breed Rescue...one in 2015 and one in 2017. It has been a blessing to deal with such a caring group of people who truly have the best interest of the dogs a top priority. Highly recommend this rescue! Now I am a proud volunteer!
I have been a volunteer for MBR for many years now. What started as occasional visits to walk or bathe dogs turned into fostering, joining the board, and then eventually foster failing on the best good boy in the whole wide world, everyone's favorite hambone, Billy. The volunteers of this rescue are top notch, our foster homes are complete rock stars, and the care provided to the dogs is amazing. From volunteering to being a board member to an adopter of MBR, I am proud to be part of such an amazing organization.
We have worked with MBR to both adopt and foster. Both were great experiences. The staff truly cares about the dogs, and works to be sure they are going to a great home that is a good fit for both the family and the dog. They don't want the dogs to go to just any home; they want them to go the the RIGHT home. I would not hesitate to recommend MBR to anybody looking for a new furry member for their family!
We adopted our Mason 8 years ago and it was a great experience!! The volunteers were so kind and the president was present when we got him, she's very hands on and makes sure everything goes as planned. We've followed them on Facebook since and I'm very impressed by the values and core beliefs the rescue stand by! I highly recommend them to find your furbaby!

We met this fantastic group of individuals 5 years ago when we were looking for a black lab. I've followed this organization since adopting Mason and I am so impressed by their processes for adopting, their love of dogs and their generous love. Amy Hunt is an amazing leader and get Board believes in finding the best dog for your family!
I give MBR 10 + for all the caring and compassion they give to dogs in need. When we use the boarding service for our fur baby Bella, Amy and her team provides the best care ever !!
I have adopted 2 dogs from this rescue (soon to be 3) and they are great to work with. They really care about the dogs and who they belong with. The volunteers are great and spend lots of time making sure all the dogs and puppies are taken care of. They are up front and honest, and Amy does her best to make sure all the dogs get great homes! I recommend them to anyone I meet looking to adopt a dog!
MBR is absolutely the best! I’ve fostered with them and then became a willing foster-fail. Will hopefully get my schedule back to a point that I can do some fostering again soon!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this rescue. We applied to adopt a hound mix from them and unfortunately they did not feel he was a good fit for our family. A year later we applied for another dog and he is amazing and the absolute perfect fit for us and him. Although at the time we were disappointed we weren’t chosen for the first dog we wanted we are so glad we weren’t because we now have a dog that suits our lifestyle and family well. MBR does such an amazing job of finding the perfect homes for their dogs. It takes a lot of time and work but they go above and beyond.
I have adopted two wonderful dogs from MBR. Amy truly cares deeply for every dog. She places them in the best home, not just the first home. MBR is exceptionally run and I will adopt there again. Highly recommend them ❤️
Multiple Breed Rescue does so much to help save so many.
They are truly the best of the best.
I have been blessed to be able to adopt 3 older and senior dogs from Mbr.
Mbr has always been available for any questions or to help in any way.
As they say the dogs always come first and I could not agree more.
I know they try to find the best fit for both the adopter and the dog.
I am honored that Mbr trusted me with adopting from them.
I am thankful every day for everything they did to save our treasured
dogs and so, so many others who would have had no one else to help them.
I have had the pleasure to visit, take animals in need to the farm, and learn so much from this outstanding rescue. Throughout COVID, through the toughest times in rescue - the administration of this rescue take in animals they know can be adopted and trained. Animals that struggle are evaluated and a plan is put in place. On the rare occasions that an animal is deemed unsafe - they are not accepted for adoption. The reality of rescue is both full filling and heart wrenching. This is a premier rescue. Pictures of one of my own rescue pups and a foster.
We adopted a pet from this org. The volunteer misrepresented him. After taking him to our vet we found out that he had health issues that were not addressed. Over $5000 later, we are in the process of helping him get better. I contacted the owner. She was combative and denied that anything was wrong. Insuulted me and our vet. Offered to take him back. There was no way we would send him back there.This is not a good place. Be cautious. Especially if you have children.

I am sorry that you feel an abscessed tooth that happened a month after adoption was something we should have known would happen. When we spoke to your husband 10 days after adoption he had a glowing review and no concerns.
We first noticed MBR through Facebook and all the wonderful things everyone had to say about it and the tireless work all the volunteers do to help with the rescues whether it be from pulling pups from the county kennels to the pups from the mills.
We hope to at some point in the near future adopt a dog whether it be through MRB or somewhere else but first need to see if that will ever be possible with a pup we rescued several years ago who has shown to be dog aggressive.
We are currently working with Amy and one on one training with Chance to see if it will be feasible. Right off we have been very pleased with the improvements in him and how less reactive he is with our neighbors dog. The training is ongoing and with the tools Amy has given us to work with at home with Chance well, it is giving us a Chance....
We came to Multiple Breed rescue over 8 years ago in searching for a rescue pup. We had such a great experience. We got to meet our puppy before adoption, saw numerous pictures of him, and he was fixed and vetted and chipped with we picked him up. When he came down with Parvo shortly afterwards, Amy picked up the vet bills, which I knew were not cheap. She made sure that our dog got the best, fastest care possible to make sure our puppy survived. I cannot wait to have my own place to be able to foster for Multiple Breed!
When we moved to OH three years ago, we had a very sad dog who had lost his two canine brothers to old age right before we moved. We sought out a rescue dog to add to our family so he would have a friend again. MBR had a little chihuahua who fit the bill perfectly. They were great to work with, and I have been impressed with how they work with the dogs prior to making them available for adoption to ensure they know any issues the dogs have. They work to find the right fit for these dogs in a furever home so it WORKS.
We got our Marshall from Multiple Breed Rescue a little over a year ago and we can’t stop singing their praise! They handled the entire adoption process so professionally and caring. Amy and her team truly care about the animals, even when they are in the adoption process. The foster parents were also so communicative and loved the puppies so well. We will definitely be adopting from them in the future!
This is a group who looks for the best family for each dog. They care so much about the pups and work with each pup to make sure they will thrive in their new home.
We have adopted two super dogs from MBR. The process was easy and the fit was perfect each time! I love that they take time to know what is right for both the family and the dogs. Get an application in before you are even ready and the right fit will come your way!
I can't say enough about the MBR. Wonderful people to work with. They pick the perfect family for each dog. We
We're picked for Rose (Oliver Twist Group) her new name is Maddy. She is amazing and a perfect fit for our family which includes our other rescue, Cooper. We love her like crazy. If we ever adopt again we will definitely go back. Amy and the MBR group are the people that you want to adopt from.
MBR has given us two wonderful rescue pups, and has allowed my husband and I the greatest joy of all...fostering and volunteering! Helping animals is their TRUE mission, and when working with them we have found that each and every person who is a part of the team is just as wonderful as the next. Our furbabies are a part of our family, and MBR treats each and every rescue that way., too.
We adopted Daisy from Multiple Breed Rescue in September of 2020. Everyone we interacted with in the rescue was beyond helpful and very knowledgeable. It is abundantly clear that all of the volunteers truly love and care for the babies that they rescue! They have the dog’s best interest at the forefront of each adoption. I still feel that I can contact the rescue with any concern or question about Daisy. That is why I love this organization so much.
This rescue is known as one of the most stellar run organizations for adopting out and accepting animals in need. The owner has hands on with volunteers, animals, training needs and general run of the facility.
I’ve visited this wonderful rescue when bringing owner surrenders to safety. I’m in awe of the manpower behind this fabulous work.
Three weeks after my husband passed away - I adopted the sweetest little Maltese, Bella, who was saved by Multiple Breed Rescue. She had been abused, needed medical care and fostered for months during her long recovery by an MBR volunteer. Bella has been my companion for almost 4 yrs - through grief and COVID - we’re still standing. Can’t say enough good things about Multiple Breed Rescue.
I have adopted two wonderful dogs from MBR. Amy runs the most caring rescue I have worked with. The needs of the dogs are put first, which is most important!!
I adopted our pup 9 years ago when he was 7 Weeks. He has been amazing and the support from the rescue has always been beyond expectations. Amy and her team are committed and love what they do. Their only interest is in saving animals and making sure they go to a loving home. I will always go to MBR for my future pet!
I became a foster for this rescue at the beginning of the COVID shutdowns and soon realized this rescue was 5 minutes from my home. I’ve continued fostering as well as volunteering for this awesome rescue. It’s so inspiring seeing the changes these dogs go through and all the hard work all the fosters, volunteers and Amy puts into these dogs and helping them. I am so proud and grateful to be a part of such an amazing rescue.
Just a couple photos of the fosters and dogs we’ve played with. I’ve successfully adopted out 7 of the 8 fosters we’ve been involved with this year and each interaction has been so rewarding finding the perfect homes for these dogs.
We adopted Cooper from MBR in 2017 and we started volunteering for MBR on Jan 5th of 2019. Soon after that we started fostering for MBR and successfully adopted out 22 of the 23 wonderful dogs we had the pleasure of bringing into our home. Yes, we foster failed on number 22 with our sweet Luna. Thank you MBR for our fur babies and this wonderful opportunity as well as all the fun and great people we work with and continue to meet!
We adopted ‘Missy’ a year ago from this wonderful amazing rescue organization. She was saved from a dire situation by MBR after she was thrown from a moving vehicle. She had sustained multiple injuries including a broken leg & dislocated hip. MBR was contacted & came to her rescue making certain her life was spared & her injuries addressed after being given an initial diagnosis to euthanize due to her age, she was 12. She had extensive surgery to repair her injuries & had bone reparative hardware implanted. She is so full of life ! She is spunky, sassy, comical, loving & clearly the boss ‘fur’ babe. She is so loved. As the saying goes, ‘who rescued who’ ! Many thanks to Amy Hunt & each & everyone @ MBR.
MBR is wonderful. We adopted our puppy in March 2020. He’s a healthy, happy dog. He had his first vaccinations and was microchipped before adoption was allowed. They really do background checks including calling your veterinarian. The facility is so impressive, with a large fenced-in area outdoors and a large indoor area for the dogs to run around. They have a large network of volunteers and foster families. Amy is a wonderful trainer who works with dogs that are untrusting and afraid.
We adopted Abby about 7 years ago from MBR. I found this rescue to have very high standards of responsibility and ethics. We had asked for information about another dog, but the rescue appropriately guided us away from that dog due to his illness and recommended another dog which turned out to be Abby. She was the perfect match for our family! MBR seems to be committed to creating the best match between a dog and a family rather than just adopting a dog out to random families and I have a lot of respect for that. In addition, when a dog comes to this rescue with behavioral challenges, MBR works with the dog to help it become adoptable. I feel confident that if I adopt a dog from MBR, I will have adequate knowledge about it and that the dog is the right fit for our family.
I started as an occasional volunteer for MBR, then moved into fostering dogs for the rescue. I currently serve on the board, along with a group of amazing ladies. We have some of the most amazing supporters and volunteers, and we all take pride in helping dogs make it to a better life.
I love my adoptive families, and my rescue family. Couldn't ask for a better group of people!
We adopted Lily Bell in the fall of 2019 from MBR. MBR is a nonprofit organization that cares deeply for the wellbeing of the dogs. This group of volunteers are 100% committed to securing good homes for the dogs. Many of the dogs stay in foster homes until they are adopted.
I had a very poor interaction with MBR Farm and Rescue in Grafton. I emailed the rescue looking for a foster home for a dog. This dog was receiving medical care and in a shelter. It was in bad shape and like all abused animals, had a heartbreaking story. The individual who received my email, called me and she was argumentative and very difficult which is completely unnecessary and very upsetting. Rescuing animals is difficult enough without being screamed at by someone who is supposed to love animals. Her behavior and email that followed is completely unacceptable. Our priority in rescue should always be to put the animal first not your need to be verbose and argumentative.

Hi Amy Reyes. When I called you to gain information on the dog you didn't have any. I called the shelter and they told me the dog was in the care of a vet and two rescues were working on taking the dog into their care. I called you back to share the great news. You asked me if the dog was going to a foster home, I told you I didn't know. You began screaming at me telling me you wanted it to go to a foster home. I tried to explain I was only giving the information which the shelter gave me. As you were screaming at me I hung up and you continued to call me 3 more times and each time I said hello you began screaming again. You then left a negative review on my business page, which has nothing to do with the rescue but my livelihood. You then sent me a very nasty email and continued to harass me. I had to get a lawyer to send you a Cease and Desist letter.
My first experience with MBR was in 2017 when we adopted our Cooper. He was the last of several puppies they rescued from an abusive environment and he is loved dearly by our family. In 2019 with my sons graduated I wanted to get more involved and decided to volunteer at the rescue caring for new intakes until they were placed with foster families and keeping the kennel clean. I then added being a Foster myself and I have fostered 5 dogs to date with all being adopted into loving homes. All the volunteers at MBR work together to pick up rescues transport to and from vet appointments and keep the the rescue running through work, fundraising and Love. It is quite amazing how much truly is accomplished by this small group of people, but it is all done with the mission to save and re-home dogs of all shapes and sizes that were abused in puppy mills, surrendered by families, picked up and put in kill shelters or lost their Mom/Dad do to age of death. I am proud to be apart of such a devoted organization and look forward to many more happy adoptions.

We adopted Cooper in 2017 from MBR and he is the sweetest boy and we are so happy to have him as part of our family. As a result of our experience we decided to become a foster placement for dogs needing a family to care and guide them until they are placed in a loving family. We are so happy to be a part of this organization and have fun volunteering and participating in the volunteer activities and events.
My daughter adopted a deaf dog from MBR 5 years ago. I found the organization to be very reputable. They provide great care for the dogs and are thorough in the application process. The dogs are in foster homes where the families spend time learning personalities, training and attending to any medical needs. When a family adopts a dog from MBR, they are getting a great dog. The rescue also offers training after the adoption. MBR has rescued some very sick dogs and doesn’t hesitate to provide any medical care needed. They work with other rescues from around the state. MBR is just an outstanding animal rescue.
Multiple Breed Rescue is amazing! We rescued our Théa almost two years ago from them. They are kind and easy to work with. They have the animals best interest at heart and do thorough background checks on potential adopters. The process was easy and once you adopt from them you feel like part of a family. They always have updates on their fb page about the animals so we can connect. We love our dog Théa and couldn't be happier with Multiple Breed Rescue!
I am on permanent disability and I was desperate to find a dog to keep me company as my husband works rotating shifts & my son was going to start college in Boston. I looked on many websites for a dog and then saw Helen's photos on MBR website. I knew this was the dog for me. The fact that she was blind was not a problem. Amy & MBR staff were awesome. Helen is a neighborhood favorite. The training she got from MBR is invaluable. I cant imagine life without her. Even though we got Helen for me.my husband & son love her too & she is part of the family.
This rescue truly puts in 110% into each dog that comes into this rescue. Each dogs needs are met individually. Screening potential adopters is taken seriously to make the needs can and will be met for the dog that will be placed into adopters family and home. No dog is turned away.
We were looking to adopt a dog for a long time. we got pre-approved however didn't see any dogs we would be interested in. Matt with other rescues who are not as nice and organized the detail that Amy and her team shows are amazing. They took in for lovely lab mixes and I was interested in any one of them. Within just a couple of short weeks they had met with me and we ended up adopting a beautiful lab mix from them. Not only did they show us a caring attitude but a concerned attitude. They even gave us training tips grooming tips and tips on understanding a puppy mill baby. I would highly recommend Amy and her team to anyone. Her foster parents deserve medals cuz I'm sure these kinds of situations are not easy.
Above and beyond your "normal" rescue, Multiple Breed Rescue saves dogs that may be euthanized, saves dogs from mill life, and rehabilitates them so that they can enjoy a life with a loving family. I adopted my dog from MBR two years ago. He was minutes from being euthanized when MBR got the call - the founder of MBR, Amy, dropped what she was doing and took off to save him. He is a very active, happy beagle/cattle dog mix who just wants to play. Because of MBR, he is enjoying a life complete with running, hiking, boating, camping. MBR takes the time to fully match the dogs to the families. Amy works tirelessly to give these animals safety, happiness and health. It takes a lot of time to run a rescue, and it takes a lot of money to save these animals, get them healthy and ready to move on to a wonderful life. Amy NEVER turns away a dog regardless of the problem or the possible costs. What she does for these animals is nothing short of amazing!
We have adopted twice from MBROhio. This is a fantastic organization. The members LOVE these dogs. Please consider adopting.
Multiple Breed Rescue came to my rescue when my mom passed away from pancreatic cancer and I could no longer have 2 dogs in our condo complex. It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but MBR does such an amazing job of keeping it smooth during transition. I miss them terribly, but know they have been placed in loving and nurturing homes, more-so than I could provide at thins time.
I have adopted 2 dogs from Amy. The work this rescue does is nothing short of amazing. I love MBR and cannot thank Amy and the volunteers enough for the lives they save.
I seldom write reviews, but I feel so strongly about this rescue- that I must share my story. I was there to surrender and re-home my dog. Amy helped to train my dog so that I was able to keep him with me. This rescue truly loves animals and I highly recommend them. A great facility and just a very welcoming environment.
Lisa Sprague, Retired Chief of Police
I found my Diego at MBR. I was very impressed with how the whole rescue operates. They take great care in caring for and placing animals.
We were finally ready to get another dog, after losing our previous pet to cancer seven years earlier. We have 4 children and needed a dog that is easy going, friendly with kids, and low maintenance. Multiple Breed Rescue knew Bandit was the perfect dog for us. We adopted him in March of 2014, and he has been the perfect dog for us. He is so sweet and loves life! We will continue to use MBR in the future for connecting our family with the perfect dog.
We found our puppy Fred through Multiple Breed Rescue. He came into our lives at the perfect time. He brought so much light into our lives and gave his older brother Gino so much life and energy. Multiple Breed took the time
To get to know us as well as informed us so much about there rescue. 4 years later they are still apart of our lives. They are such a caring organization that truly goes above and beyond! We are so grateful to have found Multiple Breed Rescue and our pup Fred.
We adopted our 2 dogs from this wonderful rescue! I would encourage anyone looking to adopt a healthy puppy or dog to check out the MBR website. They are very caring and they make sure the right dog goes to the right family. Amy and all the volunteers are great!

I had fostered for MBR in 2008. I wasn’t looking for another dog at the time, but soon had my first “foster fail”. I still have Maggie today and I couldn’t love her any more.
Every one at MBR is 100% dedicated to the welfare of all the animals they take in. I wished every one I met had the empathy and compassion for animals that they do.

About 11 years ago I realised I needed a little something extra in my life and decided that fostering a dog was helping and doing something good for a dog in need. I had fostered for another rescue before finding MBR. I reached out to MBR because I already had two dogs and lived in a small house so I was looking for a small breed dog to foster. My first foster with MBR was a pure bred JRT male. He was beautiful. He loved to play with balls. I decided to call him Eddie while he was staying with me. I had grown very fond of Eddie and was considering adopting him myself when I got the call that he had been adopted by a young woman with other JRT’s. Eddie instantly fell in love with her and I knew I was doing the right thing for him by giving him to a good home.
Then it was time for another foster. She was also a JRT. She was not potty trained, very shy, had many many fears, and just seemed very withdrawn. I spent many hours, days and weeks working with her trying to build up confidence. Teaching her to go potty outside. And not fear absolutely everything. Slowly, I was growing attached to her as it had been nearly a month that I had been caring for her. I was told that she had someone interested in her, but then they changed their mind. I knew I could never let her go, and right then decided to add her to my now growing dog family of three. I’ve never regretted my decision, in fact I couldn’t be happier. Maggie is still a part of our family. She is a very happy 12 yr. old little girl with more spunk and spitfire than ever. And today, I don’t think there is anything she fears, except maybe a bad thunderstorm.
Fostering for me was very rewarding. I enjoyed every minute of it. I enjoyed all the dogs I got to meet and care for. And I especially enjoyed the one I got to keep.
We are forever grateful to MBR! We adopted Rocky 2 years ago and he has added so much to our crazy family. They are a top notch organization!
There is no better nonprofit! I adopted my first rescue through them and I have been an active volunteer and foster mom ever since! You will not find a more committed, dedicated, passionate and fun group of volunteers to work side-by-side with! Highly recommend this rescue!

If you're looking to help a pup find their furever home, look no further!
I have volunteered with MBR and love the way they care so much about finding the perfect forever home for dogs.

Everyone at Multiple Breed Rescue was amazing and so caring!!! We adopted our Mayhem March 22, 2019, the process was simple yet thorough, they truly care about placing their rescues with the right families and thoroughly research prospective adopters to be sure these beautiful animals go to great homes!!!
I have adopted two shorty jacks from Multiple Breed Rescue, two years apart. What I love about this rescue is how much time and effort they take to ensure a perfect match. For our first Jack, I asked for a 4H dog for my young daughter to train and one that was happy to sit in your lap. She recommended Emma who was exactly what we asked for. Two years went by and I wanted to get into dog agility and came back again asking for a shorty Jack that she felt would be a good agility candidate, and she recommended Beanie. Beanie is a very accomplished agility dog, earning MACH2 and is still the 3rd fastest Russell Terrier in AKC agility in the entire country. My dogs are now 12 and 14 years old and I am thankful every day for this rescue. I have followed them all these years and so impressed with this organization.

We have adopted two dogs from MBR over the years and we have adopted another dog from a different rescue. I can say that the quality of care, compassion and just overall experience I had with MBR was exceptional compared to the other rescue. My MBR dogs are now 8 and 10 years old, yet Amy Hunt who heads up the rescue still follows up and cares about all the dogs she has rescued and re-homed over the years. MBR knows their dogs, gets to know their applicants so they can find a good match that is best for the applicant and best for the dog. This organization truly cares for their dogs, cares about what happens to every dog and saves as many as they possibly can. Their compassion is genuine and all who volunteer there spend countless hours of their own personal time with the hopes of saving just one more dog. MBR will always be my first choice when I am ready to rescue another dog.
Great group of volunteers! Always willing to do whatever it takes to help any animal in need
Proud to be able able to attend their events to help fundraise for the animals.
Amazing group of people who advocate for animals and the proper care and treatment of those animals!
While going thru a nasty divorce, I lost my dogs to my ex. Everyone knows that dogs help heal everything, so my hunt was a for the perfect pup (in my eyes). I came acrossed the cutest 12 week old pit mix that I iust had to meet. After meeting him I knew he was the puppy for me. MBR did their check on me and how I cared for me other pups. Within a week or so, Diesel AKA Ozzie came home to me. MBR and his foster mom checked on us for some time after to make sure everything was ok for Diesel and me. I HIGHLY recommend MBR for your adoption needs...
This is not your average animal rescue, they go above and beyond helping those animals that nobody would think are worth saving. Many lives are saved because of the wonderful work they do.

My family started volunteering for MBR so my son cod get hours for his senior year graduation requirement. My son is duely handicapped Deaf and Aspergers, not many opportunities are available to him, but Amy and her crew welcomed us and put him to work. We are now a foster family for MBR and couldn't be happier with the group of volunteers and board members who give their heart and soul to this rescue!
I volunteer for MBR and I am so proud to be a part of an organization that does so much for the dogs they take in & the people who are a part of the rescue.
We adopted our Hank last fall, and could not imagine not having him as part of our family! After we adopted him my husband and I became volunteers with Multiple Breed Rescue.
It is extremely rewarding being part of an organization that is focused on rescuing, and providing vetting for animals in need and most importantly finding the best forever home possible for them.
I love MBR! They are so dedicated and passionate about saving dogs in need and matching their dogs with their forever families! I would highly recommend this rescue to everyone!
We have gotten 2 dogs from MBR and couldn't be happier. They work tirelessly to help dogs/animals in need. Very thankful and grateful.
MBR has allowed me to foster for them. I have met some amazing people and dogs. My eyes have been opened to all that goes on behind the scenes. This fabulous group of animal lovers does more than anyone could ever ask to take care of the "unwanted ". The dogs are always the priority and I am blessed to be a part of this amazing group!
MBR is amazing. The only place I trust to care for my pups while I am away. I like that she has a choice of a room so my 3 can be together and not caged while there. I have one that needs a little help around other dogs and they work with him every time he is there. I love that she posts videos/pictures of the dogs while they are boarding. They also get grooming from For the Love of Fur which is on the premises. I have never seen my boys look so good. Forever a client!
I volunteer from time to time when I’m able to help out. This rescue is ALL about the dogs and helps so many dogs in need every year. All the volunteers and Amy work so hard to ensure the dogs go to loving homes.
I’m proud to be apart of this rescue!
An amazing rescue! Run by professionals! They are responsible and have a process that protects the families and animals
Review from Guidestar
We adopted Nida from MBR almost two years ago. This organization is extremely passionate, caring, professional and knowledgeable. They made sure when we adopted Nida that she was a good fit for our family. When looking to adopt a pet I highly recommend and trust MBR.
We adopted our dog from MBR in 2012 and she is the light of our lives! MBR rescued Delilah from the pound in, I think, Stark County. She was on the “kill list” because she would not interact with people coming through looking for a dog to adopt, she would only huddle in the back corner of the cage because she was terrified. MBR pulled her from the pound and had her spayed, then put in in foster home where she was housebroken and socialized (her foster family day did an amazing job!) What I love the most about t MBR is that their job doesn’t end when a dog is adopted, they are always there to support and help the adopters in any way can. This is an amazing group of people!
I got my Puppy from MBR almost exactly a year ago to the day. I appreciated their application process and dedication to matching a family and dog, and not allowing an adoption that isn’t a good fit. I was so impressed, I began to volunteer with them as well. This group is AMAZING. They are truly in it to save lives. We take dogs no one else will, due to the medical bills
Or training that may be required. They stick to their word, even taking 4 parvo puppies, who they agreed to take in (pre-parvo diagnosis). Those medical bills were astronomical, but MBR Didn’t even flinch. Even better, is that in their contract, they insist any dog
Who may be rehomed MUST come back to the rescue. No independent rehoming. They track the dogs until they pass away. MBR has an active Facebook page where members can post pics, questions, or other related dog info and receive genuine, thoughtful advice and answers. They have connections in any animal related area (vets, trainers, wardens, shelters, sanctuaries, etc etc etc). This group is hands down 5/5 perfect. I’d recommend them to ANYONE looking to adopt a dog (or pig, as they currently have a pig up for adoption too!).
My experiences with MBR have changed my life for the better!
I adopted Millie, a Basset mix "hospice" dog who has had an adventurous & happy life for the past 4 1/2 yrs & is going strong! And Shaggy, a senior Yorkie mix, who opened my eyes to what it means to persevere under adversity, having recovered from paralysis. We have received an abundance of support from this Group & I have gained many friends! What I love is that when you Adopt from MBR, you are supported & encouraged & are free to ask questions related to the care of your pet. It is a family of dog (and all animal) lovers & rescuers. I thank God for bringing MBR into my life!
Multiple Breed Rescue is AMAZING! When we decided to start looking for another dog to add to our family, we spoke with several rescue groups. By far, MBR Ohio was the best one we found. They are organized, well-run by awesome volunteers, and focused on the mission of saving animals. The two things that I think are the most important attributes of this rescue group are their dedication of matching animals and humans for the right forever fit and the unending support they offer adopters. I was impressed that that they not only follow-up with adopters, but they truly go above and beyond. I'm confident that if I needed to, I could contact them in two years with an issue, and they would do what they could to help out. I've spoken with other adopters, and they have had similar experiences. We're so happy that they saved our precious Melrose, and we're so grateful to have her in our family. MBR Ohio rocks, and I can't say enough good things about them.
This organization has it all, caring members, and amazing supporters. Dogs are living in homes . With loving foster families and having all their needs met including training. So when, they are adopted it makes the transition easier. Theres so much support, Including a free training class once a month. This rescue really cares about their animals and it shows.
I reached out to Multiple Breed Rescue after having a few less-than-great communications with rescue organizations in my city. MBR brought Penelope into my life, and nothing has been the same since! The application process was very easy- everything I needed was spelled out right in front of me. All my questions were answered quickly, my application was processed quickly, and within 2 days I was on my way to pick up my baby girl! Now, MBR is the only place I recommend to people when they say they’re looking to add to their family!
MBR is always there for an animal in need! I got my two jack russels from them over 10 years ago and even though I live 2500 miles away now I still keep in touch with what Amy and her crew are up too now, and help where I can!

I love that they never leave a mom or dad dog behind. If they are taking puppies, they are taking the whole family! And they take a lot of medical cases which is expensive. But they do it and do it very well.
I first became aware of MBR last year when I adopted my dog in nov of 2016. After I saw the volunteers, and all their wonderful people, I decided to volunteer. What a great organization. It is truly amazing to see such great people left in our world. Everyone takes time out of their busy schedules to help innocent dogs find homes and a better life.
In April my mother and I traveled from Michigan to a MBR adoption event. My mother completed the adoption application beforehand and adopted an older Jack Russell named Cookie at that event. Cookie has been her perfect companion. They walk all over her neighborhood and all of the kids know and love Cookie. So many thanks to MBR for rescuing Cookie and mending my mom's broken heart after the loss of her 13 year old Jack Russell.
We rescued a dog about a year and a half ago through them and they are nothing short of amazing at what they do! They are very careful who they match with a particular dog. They make sure to do everything possible to make sure that the dog is going to the best home possible. Love them! Will definitely adopt from them again!!

We adopted our Buddy boy from them in September of 2015. It was the best decision ever!! He is such an amazing dog. What they do for there rescued animals is nothing short of amazing!! Everyone is just so passionate about what they do and are so eager to help foster, with events, with adoptions and anything in between! Love this rescue and will be adopting from them again! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new furry friend!!
I volunteer at mbr and have adopted a few dogs from them as well. I can not thank them enough for our furkids
My son wanted to donate his Christmas money to animals. My friends volunteered for MBR . We went to check out some events and volunteered to play with some dogs. My son fell in love right away. I loved how the organization is run. Very professional!
I would recommend anyone looking to add to their family:. To check MBR FIRST.
We recently adopted our second dog from Multiple Breed Rescue. They are so good to work with, proving information on the dog's temperament, vet records, and assistance with training. We love our Ellie and Maddie! Thanks MBR!
Multiple breed rescue is a great organization. They help rescue dogs, foster them and then find them a forever home. They just don't get dogs from shelters. My story I had a Belgian Malinois name Maya that was living the life of a lazy dog and not the life of a working dog like she was meant to do. They took her for me and promised they would find her the right home and would not let her go to a home that wasn't qualified to take her. It took a few weeks but the right person came along and she is now in North Carolina with a police department training to be a Narcotics dog and living the life she was meant to live. Thank you MBR!
Our beloved jack Russell Sparks died in April 2016. We were so sad and heartbroken and 5 mos. later my arms ached for another sweet baby. I started looking at rescues when I came across Multiple Breed Rescue . I was unsure at first, but as I researched the group, Amy (Founder) and read more and more about each, I realized that this was where I would find my next fur baby. What this group does for animals is phenomenal. They are making a difference in not only the animals lives but in the lives of the people who choose to adopt them. I believe that my Lily rescued me. Even though I am sure she would beg to differ. So I'll concede, and just simply say that we rescued one another and that every day we continue to do so.
We were blessed to find MBR and adopt Bruce into our family 4 weeks ago. The support, professionalism and thoroughness of MBR is truly amazing. They offer weekly free training sessions, continued support and education through their website. One of the best experiences with adopting a pooch ever!
Meet Mocha!! She is the most amazing dog and perfect fit for our family. We were interested in Mocha and matched by Multiple Breed Rescue. We can't imagine life with out her.
Thank you!!!
My husband and I rescued Milo in 2015 from MBR. After filling out the application we met with the gracious foster home and took him home the next day. We continue to utilize MBR through their dog boarding at the farm. Everyone is wonderful and supportive. I know Milo is is good hands when we are traveling.
Multiple Breed Rescue is one of the finest organizations I have ever seen. They take in the dogs who would otherwise be euthanized and give them a second chance and find them a furever home. I adopted Joe the Boxer a year ago and he was the perfect fit. This group of people are so very compassionate with their mission and love of the animals they save. I can't thank them enough for all that they do!
we adopted Tito(aka Andy) on Oct 27, 2014. We had recently lost our beloved JRT and were still heartbroken. We at first said NO MORE DOGS. Well that lasted about a month. I stumbled upon MBR. I discovered a group so dedicated to the placement of the rescue to the family. The paperwork we completed was extensive, my prior vet records were all checked, my personal reference was contacted. The original pup I applied for was determined not right for us. He needed little children- Well guess what we were paired up with the most loving sweetest needy little JRT. He was an instant family member. We were advised of some challenges that we may experience and how to deal with those little quirks. After all he is a RESCUE. I cannot tell you how professional Shannon, Sharon and Amy have handled our adoption. I tell everyone looking for a loving pet contact this organization.
My husband was looking for a dog for me, as he thought it would help my anxiety issues. He came across Multiple Breed Rescue in December 2015 when he was searching for a Yorkie mix. He immediately contacted MBR, who had a Yorkie/Jack Russell Terrier Mix for adoption. Everyone involved was so kind and helpful and we ended up adopting Josie about a week later. Unfortunately, Josie has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, but since then we have adopted 2 other rescues from MBR and they are both wonderful dogs. Multiple Breed Rescue has made such an impact on us that we volunteer our time as a family to help out with the dogs as needed and are hoping to foster one day soon as well. They really are with you for the life of your dog and they treat you like family. The owner, Amy, is always ready to help and has offered us great advice about our dogs. I highly recommend looking into their adoptable dogs if you are looking for a furry companion. This is a great rescue that truly loves these dogs.

We adopted our dear Dunkin last September. We went to an adoption event and could see how well cared for all of the dogs were and how conscientious and upfront Multiple Breed rescue was with all potential adopters. Dunkin has been such a blessing to us and makes all our days so much better. He is the sweetest and happiest dog and greets every day with a wagging tail and just to so happy to see everyone always.
We are so thankful he was rescued and saved. I can't imagine our lives without him. Thank you to all who do so much for those in need.
I am a long time volunteer and the passion and love that MBR has never falters.
It is great to see a rescue who sincerely cares about the placement of the animal in their care and not just the number of animals they have saved.
Anytime someone is looking for a dog or a cat I immediately tell them about this amazing organization.
I have transported for them, absolutely wonderful people and the best care for the animals they take in.
We adopted a great dog from MBR. They really put the dogs needs first and are honest with the information they give. The adoption cost is well worth it as the dogs come fixed, microchipped, and healthy. We will be looking to MBR for our next dog and referring friends here as well.
MBR is by far the most caring non profit rescue I have had the pleasure of knowing. They will pull an animal in need without hesitation and then find one of their very loving volunteers to nurse them back to health and find them the very best furever home.
I adopted Zeus (Terrier Mix) a few months ago! He's amazing & I am so thankful for the kindness of MBR! Great rescue! :)
We were lucky enough to find MBR when searching to adopt a rescue dog. Not only did we find the PERFECT dog for our family but we discovered this outstanding organization of dedicated volunteers who truly make this world a better place one dog (or cat, or pig or donkey!) at a time. Thank you MBR!
My family adopted our first fur baby from MBR in September. Amy helped us find a pup that was the perfect match for our family. We have been very impressed with the organization and the volunteers are just amazing with hearts of gold!
We adopted a JRT mix from MBR last year. They were so helpful and caring. When we are ready for another animal, I will definitely utilize them. I also have utilized them for expert information.
Best rescue I've ever worked with. Amy and the whole crew work together great and always have the animals best interest in mind.
Such a wonderful group of people! They care about all the animals they rescue and place. I am so glad they chose us for Quinn!
I drive transport when I can. I wish I could do more for some of the greatest group of people with the biggest hearts! Thank you for letting me be a part of such a distinguished group of caring people. Amy Hunt truly is a angel for the animals ...big and small. God bless you all for all you do!
They are the absolute best rescue around! I don't of any that have such caring people that work endlessly rescuing animals!
Amy Hunt and the people of MBR are the tops in my book. My children and I went to one of their events just to "look" at a dog and ended up adopting another one from their rescue. We were there for quite a while asking question upon question. They were very patient and answered all of our questions. To all of them, these animals are family not just a pet. Their adoption application process is very in depth, they will call your vet, your referrals, they leave no stone unturned when placing these precious animals.
Another thing that really impresses me is that they don't abandon you or the dog after adoption. This rescue requires that you add their name on the micro-chip. They check up on you regularly and should something happen that you can no longer keep your pet, they will take him/her back. I was so impressed that I applied to be a volunteer with this organization.
This is the BEST group of men, woman and kids that donate their time endlessly and effortlessly to help the less fortunate. I am so proud to be apart of this organization and a SUPER PROUD to be a foster failure!! We reach for the stars until one day our services will no longer be needed!! That's the dream and goal for all of us in rescue. GOD BLESS MY RESCUE FAMILY!!
I can't say enough good things about the work these people do for animals in Ohio! They go above and beyond for animals that no one wants or cares about and transform them into loving family members. Anyone looking for a dog in northeast Ohio should check them out!
I have been a volunteer with MBR since 2007. Although ,my physical limitations make it difficult to help in the ways that I WISH that I could; I still do what I can. I adopted my JRT ,Greta, from MBR....and even though it was a bit of a "rough start" Amy Hunt was there for Greta and me. If we need anything; MBR is right there for me.
I would LOVE to get another dog; and when I do, It will be from MBR . An AWESOME group of people that give of their time and selves to help animals . Very proud to be a member !!!
We have2 rescues that we adopted from them and I loved the experience so much, I started volunteering for them. We are currently a foster home and have 2 fosters in our care. What impressed me most is their stance on no one left behind. If there is a litter of puppies, we take the whole litter, including the mom dog if there is one! Amybhas pulled many dogs with medical needs without worrying about the cost of their care. I would highly recommend them,whether it is a new family member you are looking for, or just need advice!
I was newly divorced and looking for something to fill my time. I was introduced to Amy and decided that helping the dogs could help me too. I've been a volunteer for over 3 years now. It has been the most rewarding, frustrating, heartbreaking and wonderful experiences I can say I have had. This group of volunteers, lead by Amy, are some of the most compassionate people I have ever met. I have seen MBR take dogs in serious condition and nurture them back to happy healthy babies!!! MBR is not afraid to take dogs that most people would pass up. MBR will take a litter of puppies AND the mom. MBR will take a senior dog, a bald and sick dog, a dog with broken bones and broken spirit and love them all back to what they should be. I truly love this organization and the people that represent it.
After researching the rescues local to me, I chose MBR. I chose to be a volunteer for MBR because of the experience the founder had plus everyone has high praises for the group. Foster homes are provided with every necessity they could need for the dog in their care. Adopter's are told everything about a dog, even any bad habits. MBR completely vets each dog including spay/neuter and microchipping. Adoption fee is never over $250. The members of the group are like a huge family. We are there for anyone needing advice no matter how big or small the situation. You will not regret fostering or adopting from this group.
After losing our Border Collie we said no more dogs, it's just so hard when they go. I agreed, until I didn't, then I was on a mission to find a new family member we could train to be a Therapy Dog. I checked the Multiple Breed Rescue site daily and then Jack appeared. A one eyed hound was rescued by Multiple Breed, and he quickly rescued us. Jack has been with us almost a year now, and he's a registered Therapy Dog visiting Assisted Living, Nursing Homes, Schools, Pediatric wards, and Hospitals. He is always excited to go to work and in dog years, he probably puts in a 40 hours week. So grateful for everyone involved with Multiple Breed Rescue, wonderful people with a much needed mission.
Terry and Vickie and of course "One Eyed" Jack
Amy Hunt and her staff of volunteers far exceed any rescue I've ever seen. The are the most compassionate group of people, well they are simply amazing. I follow their facebook page regularly and they are so focused on the welfare of almost any four footed animal. They seem very selective on who gets to adopt their rescues. I admire EVERY single volunteer, foster homes and the staff of Multiple Breed Rescue for their constant dedication to the well-being of animals. They aren't afraid to take on the challenge of injured, sick or ferral animals to give the the best chance of having a forever home and living a long and happy life. Thank God there are people like this.
MBR is all about the dogs! There are no prejudices when it comes to pulling dogs out of pounds. If the dog has a broken leg and needs surgery, MBR takes the dog. If the dog is heart worm positive, MBR takes the dog from the pound and provides treatment. If it's a soon to be mommy dog ready to pop out nine puppies, they save the dog from euthanization. God bless Amy Hunt and all of her hard work day in and day out to make MBR what it is today!!
MBR is by far one of the most caring, dedicated, loving and devoted rescues that I know of. Their team of volunteers will go above and beyond at anytime day or night to rescue an animal and care for it..they never judge people, they try to help people in anyway they can. I recommend this rescue to everyone that is thinking of getting a pet. AWESOME AWESOME TEAM!!!!!
MBR is one of the most caring and dedicated team of volunteers I have ever met. They will go to any length, any time, anywhere possible to save just about any animal. The never judge, just unconditional love and devotion for any situation. Most times this organization will put the animals before personal needs. Many happy endings begin with MBR.
MBR has the most loving, caring & knowledgable people. We adopted our little Tuffy with the help of Amy Hunt thru MBR.
We never thought it would even be possible since our Golden Retriever doesn't get along with other dogs.
Amy made it happen though.
Tuffy has given our family so much joy. I'm not what we did withought him.
Thanks MBR for all your diligent work for rescuing animals & finding them good homes.
MBR changed our lives. We've adopted 2 dogs from Amy and her incredible group over the years and the love that these dogs have shown us is something you can't beat. Once you find the new love of your life MBR won't just sever ties with you either. In addition to the great work they do in taking in animals that have no place to go, MBR is a great resource if you have any questions about your pet or need some other type of support. Another thing we always look forward to is the Annual Puppy Party. A huge gathering of the families and pets who have been rescued by MBR. Fantastic organization. Fantastic people.
This is a great organization with dedicated individuals that save so many furry live and educate people. I have two fur babies from Amy & her team and I applaud their their hard work and devotion to the animals. My profile picture is of Pickles & Sherman my fur babies saved by these wonderful people!
I adopted a dog from MBR 8 months ago. They are professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I had open communication prior to the adoption, during and after. They are honest and open about what they know about the animals and truly care about getting them into safe, happy homes.
I became a member of the MBR family a little over a year ago. Amy and all the other members are full of helpful advice and truly put the animals first. Knowledgeable and always available if needed. I can't say enough about this rescue and the compassionate people that have made MBR what it is today. They have helped me through some very difficult fosters and even helped my family through some hard times. MBR is truly the best!!!!
Found MBR while looking to adopt a pet on PetFinder. The organization is professional and the people who work with the animals are warm, kind and very knowledgeable. Thanks to MBR we found the most wonderful dog to add to our family!
I first heard about MBR in 2010 when we searched Petfinder.com to find our perfect pet. By chance, and by luck...it directed us to MBR. Once we arrived at the site I was AMAZED on how clean, how well cared for, and how much LOVE these rescues were given . Never, in a million years, would I ever visualize myself volunteering at a dog rescue. But once I saw the rescue, saw the "cared for" rescues...I KNEW that I wanted to be part of this awesome organization! I come weekly to clean, care for, and just give these rescues some old fashion love. I benefit MORE from my weekly visits then the dogs do. It is so rewarding (and emotional) for me, to watch these sometimes scared, sometimes neglected dogs transform as they are cared for at MBR and later welcomed into loving families. The work that MBR does is absolutely amazing, and I am so proud to be a very small part of it.
Multiple Breed Rescue is an enormous group of animal advocates. They are focused on saving animals by evaluating, vetting and placing the dogs in an appropriate and prepared home for their needs. Their volunteer network (myself included) is one of the largest I have seen and they rarely have needs the group can't meet. This includes transport, fosters and endless representatives at their public adoption events. They are consistently networking and taking dogs into public places so potential new owners have no surprises. I have not been working with MBR for much longer than a year, but I have already seen it grow and am so happy with the good work that we all do!!
MBR goes above and beyond its duties as a rescue. From the wonderful, genuinely caring nature of the owner and her volunteers to their dedication of every pup's placement in pre-screened, loving homes.
MBR takes the time to ensure that every dog gets a chance. Extra time is taken for those dogs who need special training and a little more TLC. Any and her vunteers will make countless long trips to save as many pups as they can.
Keep up your beautiful work MBR!
My family and I have watched MBR grow from a one woman show to a group of committed and dedicated volunteers. We have gotten the four legged members of our family here. The founder offers solid advice and is well connected in the community of rescue. If a question cannot be answered, the referrals to other resources have been very helpful. Recommend them highly and will continue to do what we can to promote and support this organization.
I showed up to help out at an adoption event with no real idea of what I could do to help. That was in October of 2012. I "handled" my first adoptable dog that day. And approximately three months later, I met the family that adopted that dog at the monthly adoption events MBR does at a retail store EVERY second Saturday of the month. The group of Volunteers just want to help. Everyone is kind and works very diligently for the cause of the dogs. That is why and what for. This rescue is not just about saving a dog here and there. MBR continues to educate and inform and keeps up on new laws for justice for dogs. This rescue works from the heart everyday for every dog from any displaced situation. I am a very proud volunteer of MBR!
I am a foster home, event volunteer, and the Volunteer Coordinator for Multiple Breed Rescue. I have been with them for a couple years and in that couple years I have been wittiness to and a part of the wonderful things Multiple Breed Rescue has accomplished. MBR is a large family constructed of amazing animal lover who only want what is best for the dogs that make their way to us and even the ones who don't. MBR fully vets every dog before adopting them out to their forever homes. MBR will also assist with the spaying and neutering of non MBR dogs to help prevent the pet overpopulation problem. MBR has saved thousands of dogs and because of MBR those dogs got to know love, compassion, and friendship. MBR is an amazing group and I am so thankful that I found them and get to help save the lives of dogs in need from all over Ohio. MBR welcomed me with open arms to their organization and I would recommend them to anyone!
Our family has been fostering for MBR for over two years. At-risk dogs' lives are saved on a regular basis, given the best care, and adopted into loving, stable homes.
I have been helping with Multiple Breed Rescue since September of 2013. I have been welcomes with open arms into their organization and have made friends who I hope will stay with me for the rest of my life. I truly feel passionate about this rescue in particular because of the way they operate. They will not overwhelm themselves and know their limits. They post regular updates on dogs who are ready for adoption, those who are working up to being adopted as well as those already in their forever home. They also have a policy of taking any previous MBR dog back for any reason and finding them a new forever home. The other volunteers for MBR all share a passion for animal rescue and do everything they can to help. They are all a caring group of folks who love my dog chevy and me just like we are one of their own!
I transitioned into Multiple Breed Rescue from another rescue as a foster home when it was formed in 2006. I love volunteering for this rescue since, while the dogs are the top priority, the leaders also understand that volunteers have lives too. As a foster home with cats and multiple dogs of my own, I have never felt pressure to take in a dog that would not be a good fit for my household. And on the rare occasion when one does not work out, the rescue is always willing to quickly take the dog back and place it in another foster home. I also love the philosophy of the rescue leaders. Many rescues are focused simply on placing dogs in ANY home. Others are so particular about adoptive homes that they never seem to approve any adopters. MBR's leaders place a strong emphasis on finding the RIGHT home for each dog and ensuring that each dog will have the physical and mental health that it needs to live a happy live. While this some times disappoints people who had their heart set on a certain dog, it ensures that each match is one for life. I also love the fact that the rescue tries to help adoptive families keep dogs who might be having issues, even going so far as to arrange free training classes for adopted dogs. But at the same time, it the adoption is not working out, they WILL take the dog back without making the adopters feel like they have let down the dog.
Three years ago, I was "Adopted" by Multiple Breed Rescue. Ever since, I have been volunteering at events, with dogs, with Marketing/PR and for the second year now, I am a board member. The founding principles of MBR have inspired me and are what drives me to continue to grow our presence. MBR is not just a rescue for dogs; it's a service to the community. MBR offers assistance to families who have fallen on hard times, helping with food and even raising money for their volunteers. MBR also helps control the pet overpopulation by offering to spay and neuter the puppies and the parents of accidental litters, at no cost to the owners.
I started volunteering for MBR in March 2013. I was called by a friend of mine who was already volunteering for the group and asked me if I would pick up a dog from a pound that was south of me since it would be a shorter trip for them to come to Akron to pick up the dog. I went and picked up the dog and brought him back for her to pick up. After seeing the conditions of the pound, I was hooked and immediately wanted to become a foster home for the rescue dogs. My first puppy came from the very same pound a few weeks later. He was quickly adopted into a wonderful home and since then I have had 6 more dogs in my care.
MBR is based in Cleveland and I live in Akron, so its about an hour drive for me to be a part of events and go to the rescue's vet and things of that nature. My family asks all the time why I don't volunteer with a group closer to where I am. I truly believe that this group does some of the best work I could be involved with in the rescue community. The people on the board and my fellow foster homes/volunteers are the BEST people I have ever met. Every single person who volunteers with this group has a heart that it is in for the good of the dogs and that is reflected time and time again.
We stretch ourselves as much as possible to help as many dogs as we can in Ohio. In the last month alone we have taken in 3 pregnant dogs, all of which had litters of 6-7 puppies. That was in addition to continuing to pull other dogs who needed our help. I wouldn't dream of volunteering with another group and leaving this one, my experiences have been nothing but good.
I do homecare andy client who was confined to wheelchair companion dog passed away.she was devastated they helped us find the perfect companion dog right for her situation.the dog was awesome and so good.we were so tgankful for there help with finding perfect dog for her
Multiple Breed Rescue was founded in 2006 to help save the lives of dogs in high kill shelters. We also report cruelty cases to local animal control. In 2011, MBR took in 3 dogs rescued from a dog fighting ring. These dogs were all placed in loving homes and are living happy lives with their new families. MBR does not rescue just one breed of dog, we will take mixed breed, large, small, black, white. All the dogs are given proper veterinary care, micro chipped, kept on flea and heartworm medication and placed in foster homes until a forever home can be found.
Multiple Breed Rescue is a 100% volunteer organization. No one is paid to do their job, we do it for the dogs.
