Midwest Bloodhound Rescue

An Animal Rescuer

My job is to assist God's creatures. I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs.
I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures without planning or selection

I have bought dog food with my last dime. I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand.
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid. I have fallen in love a thousand times and
I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body too many times to count

I have animal friends and friends who have animal friends. I don't often use the word "pet".
I notice those lost at the road side and my heart aches. I will hand raise a field mouse
and make friends with a vulture. I know of no creature unworthy of my time.

I want to live forever if there aren't any animals in Heaven, but I believe there are.
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind?
Some may think we are master of the animals, but the animals have mastered themselves -
something people still haven't learned.

But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind.
We are a quiet but determined army and we are making a difference every day.
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan, nothing more rewarding than saving a life,
no higher recognition than watching them thrive.
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play,
who only days ago was too weak to eat.

By the love of those who I've been privileged to rescue, I have been rescued.
I know what true unconditional love really is........
for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so many, grateful for so little.

I am an Animal Rescuer....
My work is never done,
My home is never quiet,
My wallet is always empty,
My heart is always full.


	Midwest Bloodhound Rescue, Inc. We are a non-profit, volunteer organization that helps bloodhounds who have, for one reason or another, found themselves homeless. When a bloodhound no longer has a loving home, rescue steps in to help find one for them.

Economy - Even the Dogs Feel the Pinch: MBR has received multiple phone calls & emails this year from previous adopters needing to return their bloodhound. The main reasons being financial hardship, loss of job, loss of home. MBR offers our deepest sympathies and hopes for a speedy recovery to these families. However, we have noticed a very disturbing trend for people to wait until the last minute to contact us. Many of these dogs are older now - a move will be extremely traumatic to them - and very difficult for MBR to accomplish. We urge you to please consider all alternatives before deciding to return your companion. However, if you cannot continut to care for the dog, the following policy will now be in place: If you must return a dog adopted from MBR and the dog is under 6 years of age, you must give us a minimum of 3 months prior notification. If the dog is older than 6 years of age, you must give us 6 months prior notification. IF a dog must be rehomed, it is in the dog's best interest to go from your home to a new adoptive home. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
