Mutts4rescue
About Our Rescue Group
Mutts4rescue was recently formed by a group of volunteers from New England, TN, GA, LA & OH, who were already working together with purebred rescues, to find homes for those "other" just as special dogs. We take in owner surrenders and work with many shelters in the south where 100s of dogs are put down daily simply because there is no room. A lack of spay/neuter laws as well as a lack of education results in severe over population and causes us to have to save "one dog at a time". We are a newer group who relies on foster homes and donations. Because we are adopting "mutts" we can't charge an adoption fee as high as some of the pure bred rescues. We rarely cover our costs.

We are in desperate need of more foster homes. Most dogs spend 2-4 weeks with you while they find their new family. Without foster homes our dogs would never make it out of the shelters.

Come Meet our Pets
Because we do not have a shelter to visit we ask that you begin by completing an application. We will have the sponsor, for the dog, contact you within a couple of days to discuss your application. If you both agree it is a match we will invite you to meet the dog. Our foster families are opening their homes, time and family to our adopters so we respect them but approving applicants before allowing them into their home.
Our Adoption Process
Our adoption process starts with an application. From there, the sponsor for the dog will call your vet reference and contact you. We require a home visit and a signed contract. Our adoption fee is $350 due to our lack of foster homes and the large number of dogs from the south needing heartworm treatment.

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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
