Rescue FAQs

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.
We are a local canine rescue focusing on eastern Washington, greater Portland and Puget Sound regions.

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.
