MPR receives countless e-mail a day, most from shelters, rescuers, and individuals requesting help for needy Pit Bulls in MO, KS and surrounding states. Our volunteers try their best to keep up with the overwhelming amount of e-mail we receive on a daily basis but we are swamped and can barely keep our head above water. We encourage anyone looking to re-home Pit Bulls to first visit www.pbrc.net - Listing a homeless Pit Bulls on PBRC is free and easy. Very rarely can MPR take a dog that someone contacts us about There are just too many out there, and we have a very limited amount of space. PBRC is a "Pet Finder" like service created specifically for Pit Bull dogs, dedicated to assist caretakers and to provide essential information to anyone needing help with a Pit Bull. PBRC is often the dogs best chance to find a good home. MPR is NOT a dog shelter. We have very limited funds and space available to board dogs and only a few active foster homes. Most of our resources are tapped out with sick/abused Pit Bulls coming into our program. Unfortunately, unless dog breeding is regulated and we are able to put an end to the unscrupulous practice of "backyard breeding", we will never be able to help all the homeless Pit Bulls in the region. MPR doesn't know any "legitimate" all-breed rescue or no-kill shelters in the Midwest that can accept a Pit Bull at any time either. The truth of the matter is that Pit Bulls are very difficult to rescue and place. There are many things to consider when placing a Pit Bull and we realize that often times shelters and groups do not have the resources for these intensive placements. Pit Bull rescue is better handled by specialized groups which are few and far between. Please remember that we are an all volunteer group, with full time jobs and families. It helps us tremendously when people visiting our site do a little research before writing us to make sure the answer to their question is not already on-line. In most cases, our volunteers will send you one of the links below when you contact us.   LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE WITH A PIT BULL IN NEED: WE ARE FULL. If you are contacting MPR because you have found or know about a Pit Bull in need of rescuing, please go to PBRC. Unfortunately, you are experiencing an all too common situation for many homeless Pit Bulls. MPR is a foster home network with limited space and funding. PBRC is a resource created specifically for people who are trying to find a home for a Pit Bull dog. Please Read: What To Do If You've Found a Pit Bull If you do contact us about a dog in need of help, please send a picture of the dog for breed identification. Only requests with pictures will be considered. Please send pictures to v@mprgroup.net FINDING A NEW HOME FOR YOUR PIT BULL: If you need to find a new home for your own dog, please go to Pit Bull Adoption. You can then go to the Submission Form to list you dog on line if you decide this is the best option. ADOPTING A PIT BULL: If you are interested to adopt one of our available dogs or would like to know more about some of them, please fill out an application. One of our volunteers will get back to you as soon as we receive and review your adoption proposal. MPR will not provide any information on a specific dog unless an application has been filled out. If you are not driving distance from Kansas City, we recommend that you view adoptable dogs in PBRC.
