Misunderstood Mutts Rescue - Greater Portland Area's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We strive to find the perfect home for our dogs and so we require an application, home check, references, and a meet & greet. We also provide a two-week trial period for our dogs, to make sure it is just the right fit.

Most of our dogs range from $250.00 to $400.00 and this includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, & transportation. The majority of our dogs come from neglectful and/or abusive situations and require a decompression period between foster and adoption. A representative from MMR will be with you every step of the way to ensure the best transition possible for not only our dogs, but for you.

About Misunderstood Mutts Rescue - Greater Portland Area

Misunderstood Mutts Rescue (MMR) is a volunteer based organization serving the greater Yakima Valley, greater Portland area, and Puget Sound region. We are dedicated to saving abandoned, free, and throwaway dogs in areas where abuse, neglect, and cruelty are prevalent.

MMR was formed in October 2016 with the goal of rescuing dogs from our own backyards. Our ultimate goal is be a catalyst for a world free of homeless, neglected, abused, and abandoned animals. The harder MMR works to achieve this goal, the greater the reduction in euthanization rates throughout Oregon and Washington State.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

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.
