My Nonprofit Reviews

Our family had previously adopted two dogs from rescues prior to adopting a third from MLAR. As with our two previous rescues, a greyhound and black lab, our experience with those two organizations was outstanding to which when we rescued Max from MLAR, our expectations and experience were exceeded far beyond fantastic! Max was well cared for while at the facility and their commitment to match volunteers with the right animals, you can see how dogs begin to develop trust for their handlers/parents when they are rescued/adopted. We were allowed to have our Black Lab "visit" with Max to see how they might react to each other. I truly believe that because of that experience, that Sam and Max developed a "friendship" that to this day is fun to watch as the two are always interacting and playing and solidifying their relationship as brothers and members of our family.

Having observed the work the staff and volunteers do in the care for these dogs and the commitment to giving them a happy, safe, and playful environment is a tribute to their unyielding commitment to their mission of rescuing animals of all kinds with the goal of giving them a chance to be in the "right" home for their personality, dogs active lifestyle level, and overall living environment allowing the dogs to be a part of a family that will love and care for them as one of their own. It's not as simple to just pick a dog and say it's great, these people know how to observe and identify the right situation that will place the dog with the right family at the right time so everyone is happy, especially the animal.

I for one highly recommend MLAR as a great place to consider as a donor, volunteer, and place to adopt a wonderfully cared for pet that can be a tremendous member of a loving family.
