Ohio

A small group of volunteers..no paid employees. Our dogs are in area foster homes or they are housed at Rose's..in a heated pole building with a "bedroom" (toddler beds, a chair and a radio..so they can keep up on current events) with a dog door to a small fenced area to potty in through out the day and night. Then they get to play in a four acre fenced in area and swim in the pond every day too! We do not have a "shelter" per se and only under special circumstances are any of our animals "kenneled". They are very well socialized with people and other animals, which makes it much easier to know their temperaments. We do NOT take owner surrenders. But we will do courtesy posts for pets that are vetted and in need of homes. OUR MISSION STATEMENT Rose's Rescue is an all breed rescue for dogs and cats. We primarily concentrate on local pound rescues as we feel these are the animals in the most dire need of a second chance. We are committed to finding the best possible home for each, and every animal that comes into our rescue and we are available to help with any training or behavioral issues for the life of each animal. Rose's Rescue requires that any animal adopted through our organization be returned to us if for any reason the family is no longer able to care for them. Rose's Rescue is also committed to educating the public on the importance of spay and neuter, routine vaccinations, heartworm protection for dogs, and aids and leukemia testing for cats. According to the Humane Society of American over 4 million dogs, cats, kittens and puppies are killed each year. It is our goal to some day see no adoptable pets euthanized. Every two months, Rose’s Rescue chooses a few special candidates for a new class of dogs to be trained at the Trumbull Correctional Institution near Warren, Ohio. While enrolled in this program, each dog will be trained by selected inmates and overseen by professional dog trainer Bill Oliver (www.customcaninecompany.com) who generously volunteers his time with this laudable project. Upon completion of their training, cell dogs will have learned important socialization skills, have mastered basic obedience commands, and be fully housebroken. They will also be taught tricks to entertain their future families and friends, such as sitting pretty, playing dead, and give a high five. All dogs can be visited (by appointment and accompanied by a Rose’s Rescue representative) while at the prison. They can be adopted upon graduation, or occasionally sooner if a dog has done exceptionally well and is deemed ready to leave before the class is actually finished. All of our current cell dogs or graduates are designated as such in their individual descriptions in the “Our Adoptables” section of this website. If you’d like to get a jump-start on training your new pet, consider adopting a Rose’s Rescue cell dog!

We were founded in 1910. In the past, we had a shelter with a paid shelter manager. Currently, we no longer have a shelter or physical location, and we are an all-volunteer organization. There are about ten board members, and we have a monthly board meeting. We focus on cat and dog adoptions and spay/neuter by offering two to three low-cost clinics per month and discounted pricing to clients with financial assistance. We are within a county full of low-income, rural residents. Cat overpopulation is our main focus through spay/neuter and adoption services. We also assist with TNR, and offer a lower spay/neuter rate for feral cats.

The Humane Society of Madison County operates the county animal shelter with the goal of placing all adoptable animals that come to our shelter. We also work closely with a local prison in a foster care training program for the dogs. Inmates also foster orphan kittens until they are big enough to be adopted. We use some off site adoption events to also try and find homes for the pets.

We are a small group of people bond by our love to help animals in any way possible. We do not just want to rescue and adopt animals. We feel that our biggest goal should be to educate our community and the general public on the importance of spay/neutering their animals and the importance of proper medical care of their pets. We also do a bed for shelter dogs program once a year and donate beds to get the shelter dogs off the concrete floors.

Peg Tucker began the TNR program in this city after seeing a need for it.

We are here to save needless killling of shelter dogs from death and place them in foever homes.
