We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties: We serve all over the northeastern states. We're based in Madison, OH, which is an hour east of Cleveland, an hour north of Akron/Canton, and an hour west of Erie, PA. We do require our adopting families to come to our location to meet/adopt the dog if the drive is less than half a day. We're willing to meet along the way if the adopting family lives a day's drive away from us but we require the adopting family to drive at least halfway. We also welcome our Canadian neighbors to adopt from us and have several mini mutts living in the great north.

About Our Rescue Group

AWe are a small rescue specializing in saving small dogs under 25 pounds. We pull from area pounds/shelters when the dog is in grave danger of being put to sleep. We also rescue dogs from puppymills and take in owner releases when someone finds themselves in a bind and can no longer take care of their dog or someone notices a dog being abused by a family and wishes to save the dog. We specialize in rehabilitating the fear biters and growlers and teaching them to trust and love humans. We RARELY take in puppies. Usually the only time we have puppies available is when a pregnant female comes into our rescue and is too far along for spay surgery. Our rescue is run totally by volunteers who love dogs and wish to help them. Most of our dogs have an adoption fee for them simply to help us pay our vet bills. We also accept donations in the form of cash, dog food and treats, toys, collars, leashes, carriers, crates, blankets, etc. We know we cannot save all the dogs of the world but we do make a world of difference to the dogs we do save. You can all our successfull adoption stories, pictures, read about our events, etc. at our website: www.minimuttsrescue.org.

Come Meet our Pets

Because we are a group of volunteers spread out across Ohio and neighboring states, it's best to look over our list of dogs and email us about the one or more you're interested in. We can then set up a time for you to meet your dog at the foster home.

Our Adoption Process

Our adoption fees vary according to how much money we spend on vet bills, medication, pull fees, etc. We require everyone fill out our online adoption application prior to meeting/adopting a dog from us. We must approve you prior to adoption and we conduct home visits to make sure the dog feels safe and secure in his/her new home and everyone in the family likes/loves the dog and wishes to finalize the adoption. We have the right to deny any application for any reason and have, at times, not adopted the dog at the last minute even after pre-approving an application because the dog reacted negatively on the home visit. We promise all our dogs happy, loving, forever homes and their instincts we trust.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
