MCP Rescue
Our Featured Pet... Sweet "Bonnie" Lass
...
She was Blondie at the shelter and is now known as Bonnie. She is a sweet, calm and gentle creature who loves everyone who loves her back. She has wonderful house manners. She entertains herself with a toy, calmly follows you around to see if you need any help with anything or just lays down on a blanket. Bonnie struts her stuff on the streets and is looking for what she deserves--love and safety. She is highly trained: sit, stay, lay down, off, and no. Heartworm negative/all shots.
Handsome Patrick - Adopted
BEFORE.. 
.. .AFTER ... 
We met a dog whose eyes avoided human faces and whose body recoiled with every kind hand that attempted to comfort him. His former owner simply surrendered the dog for euthanasia and a quick fix for a wicked person’s moment of remorse. We swallowed hard and held the tears that would surely upset the poor animal whose neglect, abuse, and lack of gentle human contact broke his spirit and condemned the timid dog to death if the former owner’s wishes were granted.
Thank you Dr. Hatch, Secaucus Animal Hospital, and Liberty Humane Society for believing in this wonderful boy. Patrick has gained weight and was adopted by a wonderful and dog savvy mommy. Patrick emerged from his abusive past quicker than we thought and is now a playful, smart, and loving boy enjoying life with two furry companions. God bless you Patrick.
Martha Candy Patches Rescue
... Sweet Martha - Rest in Peace baby girl ... Never again will loving animals die in our midst ...
Like many animal rescue organizations, Martha Candy Patches Rescue (MCPR) formed as a result of tragedy. The organization is made up of volunteers who dedicated their time and personal funds to a local shelter that had been shut down. In January 2008, volunteers reported abuses and misappropriation of funds and partnered with local animal rights groups to change the management and board of that shelter.
In a last ditch effort to save animals before the facility closed, volunteers secured foster homes for 17 dogs, but were unable to save three wonderful animals even though homes and fosters had been secured for Martha, Candy and Patches.
After volunteers saved 17 dogs, the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City was tasked with giving shelter to an additional 15 dogs and 25 cats removed from the abusive shelter by a court order in April 2008. Former volunteers were able to save most of the animals under the Liberty Humane Society's care and afterward decided to form a rescue. Martha, Candy, and Patches became the battle cry for volunteers who vowed never again will loving animals suffer or die needlessly in their midst.
Many animal shelters have time, space and breed limitations and are forced to euthanize adoptable pets. MCPR was created to save some of these animals. Each pet that we accept into our group first goes through a behavioral evaluation outside of a shelter environment. Once we accept an animal into our organization, we ensure that the pet receives health care prior to placement. MCPR cares for our animals through a foster home network and in concert with other rescue organizations. Each foster parent cares for their pet building a trust of humans and offers a secure environment until their foster animal is ready to be embraced by a new owner. Our goal is to match each pet's personality and needs with the needs of the applicant.
MCPR is dedicated to pulling animals only from local sources at this time, but in time, MCPR hopes to expand its influence into the tri state area. After contacting MCPR, please give our representatives at least 24 hours to respond to your inquiries.
Why Are Adoption Fees Required?
... In order to continue rescuing and to transport, feed, house, and vet the dogs that we save, we have to charge an adoption fee. We are not gaining profit from this fee in any way. We are pulling, transporting, feeding, vetting, medicating, and caring for many dogs that are homeless and so in need. All of these expenses come out of our pockets and from the relatively modest adoption fees. Believe us, rescue is not a money producing enterprise, especially when caring for some sick animals as we have in the past. We are constantly in need of help, but to us rescue is so rewarding. Please understand that in order to keep rescuing endangered animals we absolutely have to charge an adoption fee. Likewise, nefarious people are looking for free or very low adoption fee animals to use as bait in fighting rings or for sale on the medical research market. Remember, you are helping us to help the less fortunate and not "buying" the pet that you are taking home.
What to Expect When Adopting a Rescue Pet
... For the safety and happiness of our rescues, we require an application be filled out and a contract to be signed. Our primary concern is to place our animals only once and forever. Contact us for an application and to speak with one of our rescuers. Please fill out the application completely in order to be considered. All vet references will be checked to see if your current pets are up to date on vaccinations or have been titer tested and spayed/neutered. We will review your application and contact you as soon as we can. When you adopt a rescued pet, you should be aware that we do not always know the background of the animal. We also cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information provided to us by the pound/shelter/rescue from where our animals came. We are happy to pass along any observed behavior during the dog's stay with us, but offer no guarantees once the animal leaves our rescue. Illness is a part of life in any shelter, pound, or rescue. While we take many precautions to ensure you are adopting a healthy dog, occasionally issues arise that are beyond our control. If an animal is showing obvious signs of illness of any kind, it is documented and placed on appropriate treatment. Occasionally an animal will not be showing visible signs of illness and is presumed healthy at the time of adoption. Please understand that once you sign the adoption contract, all veterinary/medical bills from that point forward are the responsibility of the adopter, and there will be no reimbursement of any medical expenses by MCP Rescue. When you first take your new friend home, please remember that a sudden change of surroundings and any change of food can sometimes cause loose stools. This usually resolves on its own in a few days. If it does not, please check with your veterinarian. Also, the pet may be a bit confused at first, and an ''accident'' in the house may occur even for fully housetrained dogs. Please remember that dogs are generally very eager to please, and may only need a kind voice and consistency in routine to learn what is expected of them. Be patient, and use kindness. Don't rely strictly on your new dog to make the determination of whether or not the adoption will be successful. It takes effort, time, patience and love on your part, too. All of our rescue animals have been treated for common internal parasites, but this does not mean that they may not require several treatments before the problem is completely rectified. Moreover, all dogs have received at least one vaccine for distemper, and if old enough, for Rabies. Finally, all pets are spayed/neutered before leaving our rescue. If they are not old enough, we will require a spay/neuter contract and a $50 deposit, refundable upon proof of spay/neuter.
Fosters and Volunteers Desperately needed
Temporary foster homes are such a vital part of our organization since we operate through a network of foster homes rather than a shelter facility. One person can make a difference in the life of a homeless dog. The more foster homes we have, the more lives we can save. Sometimes it may be hard to let go when an adoptive family is found; however, it is very emotionally rewarding to know that you have helped save the life of the animal that you fostered.
Surrendering a Pet
CONTINGENT on the availability of foster homes and evaluation.
THERE IS A SURRENDER FEE. We are not going to euthanize any pets in our rescue that are not suffering terminally per veterinarian recommendation. If your pet is seriously ill, PLEASE take the animal to your veterinarian.
ALL SURRENDERED PETS MUST HAVE been vet checked within the last 72 hours before contacting MCP Rescue whether a stray or owned by you. MCP Rescue will contact you after receipt of all veterinarian documentation.
Dogs that are UTD with vaccinations, healthy, and neutered require a 50 dollar fee.
Dogs that are not neutered or UTD with shots required a 100 dollar fee.
