Meet Frosty
Frosty made it safely out of the Arkansas shelter system and traveled to Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 12/6. He is now settling into his foster home and showing what a sweet, social little pup he is.

Frosty is part of an unwanted litter of five puppies born to a stray mother who has had multiple litters but has never been able to be caught and fixed. Despite his rough start, Frosty is thriving now that he’s safe and cared for in a loving Wisconsin foster home.

At about 3 months old and weighing around 22 pounds, Frosty appears to be a Border Collie/Lab mix. He is friendly, gentle, and curious, and he enjoys people, other dogs, and even cats. His well-rounded personality makes him a great fit for many types of families.

Frosty is working on all the puppy basics—potty training, crate training, and leash skills—and he is learning quickly as he adjusts to home life. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who is ready to keep growing and discovering the world with a family by his side.

Age: 3 months
Gender: Male
Weight: 22 lbs
Breed: Border Collie/Lab mix (best guess)
Spayed/Neutered: Not yet
Potty Trained: In progress
Crate Trained: In progress
Leash Manners: In progress
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes

Frosty deserves a safe, loving home where he can learn, play, and grow into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Could that home be yours?

If you can foster or adopt Frosty, please apply today at www.muttlife.org

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
