My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Varnish is a handsome chihuahua that for some reason will have you thinking more about dessert than dogs, with fur the colors of chocolate, coffee, and butterscotch mixed with dainty white socks. He has a distinguished feel – he’s a dessert with character like crème brulee or tiramisu. Varnish is also a people pleaser, spending the majority of his time at Muttville moseying up to volunteers asking for cuddles. With the layers of charm and charisma exuding from this diminutive mutt, we’re sure he adds some Varnish to all of his words to make them super sweet, why, butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. If you’re looking for a tasty little treat this holiday season, we suggest a little Varnish.

Please submit an adoption questionnaire for the mutt(s) you are interested in. We will be in touch within 24 hours to connect!

If you know who you're interested in, we'll arrange a meeting in person or virtually. If you're still browsing, come to an adoption event!

3.

Take the Pet Home

If you'd like to adopt we have a short finalization process and then you get to take your new dog home!

Additional adoption info

All of our senior mutts are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given flea/tick/dewormer medication. Regular adoptions are typically $250, and there is no adoption fee for senior adopters and Hospice adoptions, though we love donations to help pay it forward for the next mutt!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

If you know who you're interested in, fill out our questionnaire at muttville.org/how_to_adopt and we'll arrange a meeting either at our HQ or virtually with your mutt's foster parent. (Many of our lucky mutts live in foster homes!)

If you're still browsing, stop by our extraordinary new home at 750 Florida St. during open hours Tuesday through Sunday 11am-4pm, or come to an adoption event and meet a lot of dogs at once!
