ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
What is Memory of Monroe?
Memory of Monroe
Scottie Rescue began in 1997 and was dedicated to the memory of our own
Scottie boy, Monroe.
Monroe was a rescue who was out on the
streets and needed a lot of love and medical care.
Despite his illness and age, he charmed us
with his antics, personality, and willingness to live.
We told him we would find all the other
“Monroe” Scotties and find them homes, too.
Since the early years of doing rescue, we quickly found our four to five
dogs a year expectations quickly surpassed.
We got busy, and we found homes.
We stretched out to Wisconsin, Iowa and the
Dakotas.
Not too long ago, we added Nebraska.
Each
year, the number of purebred Scotties that enters our rescue program
inches up a bit.
This year, one of our hardest yet, found us
with many puppy mill surrenders.
We spent thousands of dollars getting these
dog’s medical needs taken care of.
We also had to address the socialization and
manners with these dogs that had never lived in a home.
We had our work cut out for us.
We
also saw more owner surrenders due to the economy.
We also saw many dogs that could not
cohabitate with children.
Despite all of that, the dogs found great
homes!
Finding the right owner for the rescues is the number one goal.
The dogs enter foster care and have their
needs assessed, and then we work to find a home that will allow that dog
to thrive and grow.
Please
support our efforts by attending the picnic or offering a donation to
allow us to continue this work.
Memory of Monroe is run by volunteers and is a 501 (c) 3 organization
under the IRS’ charitable organizations code and donations are tax
deductible.

Beautiful.
