Midwest Schipperke Rescue
Our Featured Pet...
News
Midwest Schipperke Rescue participated in the "Celebrate Birmingham" parade. We had five families march in the parade with their Schipperkes. We raised a little over $500 with donations. This parade takes place every year and we are excited about doing it again next year. Our theme is always "Schipperke Strut - 25% Style - 75% Attitude". This year the theme is "Celebrate Woodward Ave". Please feel free to join us for a fun day. If you want to make donations, they are tax deductible. Make checks out to Midwest Schipperke Rescue and mail to Sandy King, 6708 92nd. Ave W., Taylor Ridge, IL., 61284. Thanks.
Who We Are
After years of working together, members from the Illiana Schipperke Club, the Schipperke Club of Greater St. Louis, and the Southern Michigan Schipperke Club, rescue committee's, felt it was time to form a group dedicated to Schipperkes needing rescue in just the upper Midwest. .
Unfortunately, with some of our members in close proximity to the puppy mill states - Missouri and Arkansas - rescue in the Midwest is constantly deluged with unwanted Schips. It was felt that by concentrating efforts close to home, more Schipperkes needing rescue and re-homing could be helped. We try to concentrate our efforts to help dogs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. We do have a large network around the country and are thus able to help dogs from outside of our working area
Midwest Schipperke Rescue was established in 2005 and is now a Non-Profit organization registered with the State of Michigan.
Midwest Schipperke Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Adopting a friend
Adopting a Schipperke from Midwest Schipperke Rescue is fairly easy. You will be asked to fill out an application for adoption. Once that is in the files, our volunteers try to match the adopting family with the perfect dog for your lifestyle.
All dogs are up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested (treated if necessary), microchipped and spayed/neutered. All dogs are kept in foster homes for a minimum of two weeks so their temperament and personalities can be assessed. Once evaluated they will go up on Petfinder and become available for adoption.
Interviews and homechecks are part of the adoption process. A fenced yard is required as a loose Schipperke is a gone Schipperke. Our current adoption fee is $350 to help offset the cost of shelter fees and medical expenses.
Come Visit Us!
We are a volunteer foster home based rescue service. We always have dogs available in the states we concentrate our efforts in. When you contact the coordinator listed for all of the dogs, you will be directed to the foster home in charge of caring for that individual Schipperke.
