MPR TEAM....

Meet the people who dedicate their life helping Pit Bulls in need in Missouri and surrounding states

Everyone involved with our organization volunteer their time and often much more to a cause so important to their heart. For many of us, rescuing dogs from difficult situations and giving them a chance at finding happiness has become our mission in life. Our team is growing, and with it, our sense of accomplishment and the assurance that we ARE making a difference in the life of those wonderful dogs.
