MPR does not do same day adoptions without an in person home check. Until our outdated laws catch up to protect these innocents we must fight to protect them. No legitimate breeder would sell their puppies to a dog store. We do not "buy dogs" or help dog breeders. MPR is strongly against puppy mills and designer puppy stores. Bios are written with deliberate care and with honesty. Our adoption bios are written honestly without a lot of fluff as we intend to match our adoptables with the best home, not the first one we can find with flowery language. Each adopted animal has seen a vet and all vetting is clearly explained to adopters. MPR is very proud of the care our animals receive and hope to be the standard for vetting through a rescue. We do not use vaccines from Tractor Supply or otherwise take "rescue shortcuts" in our vet care. We pride ourselves on the high quality of care given to our adoptables both in foster and at the vet. We use a top of the industry vet and practice excellent vet medicine. Reach out to us if true financial need is preventing you from fixing your pets and we will assist to the best of our ability. With rare exception, all other pets in the household must be fixed for an adoption application to be considered (talk to us about vet directed exceptions). Once pulled, we focus on animal rehab, recovery, rehoming, fostering, adopting, training and other shelter support. We pull our adoptable dogs and cats out of local West Michigan shelters and prefer the major medical cases the shelters cannot handle without rescue transfer. We are a Grand Rapids/West Michigan 501(c)3. As of 2021, our focus has shifted entirely to extreme medical cases pulled out of shelters. We had no idea the unbelievable need for cat rescue in Grand Rapids. That mission quickly expanded and MPR now works with all kinds of dogs, kittens, cats, and rarely even a bunny.

Mosh Pit Rescue was founded in 2017 with the goal of fostering and adopting out older male pit bulls and pit bull advocacy.
