Story
Tinsel is an adorable and sweet little Chihuahua mix who tips the scales at just 11 pounds, with an estimated DOB of 4/11/2025. He is a joyful little man with a happy, friendly personality and a heart full of charm. Tinsel is always eager to meet new friends and greets everyone with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. One of his most endearing traits is the cutest little paw move, where he happily lifts his paws as if he’s giving high-fives to the air. It perfectly matches his cheerful spirit. Tinsel is truly an all-around fantastic little guy who quickly became a staff and volunteer favorite. He’s ready to bring a whole lot of joy, love, and smiles to his future forever home. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Meet these two wonderful nine-year-old dogs who are looking for a new forever home. Unfortunately, they couldn’t move with their previous owner out of state, but they bring so much love and gentleness to anyone they meet. They’re both extremely affectionate, gentle souls who are just waiting to share their loyalty and cuddles.

Story
Melody may be "mini" be she can be 'mighty' too!  This precious tiny little girl just arrived and is already melting everyone's hearts!  She is approximately 8 weeks old and weighs just between 2-3lbs.  She will be getting settled in his foster home and more information to come soon!  Due to how tiny and fragile Melody is, kids should be 8+ years of age and itty bitty dog savvy.  We recommend training for all our dogs!     **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment.  Thank you for your interest!                             If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (     www.magnificentmutts.org )  No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. December 13, 2025, 6:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Vivian, a sweet and affectionate little girl ready to melt your heart! This charming female chihuahua, born around 12/10/2024 and weighing 7.0 pounds, has a lovely fawn-colored coat marked with just a small patch of white. Vivian was rescued as part of a group of dogs seized from an overwhelming living situation. She and her companions arrived quite feral, but Vivian has made incredible strides in learning to trust. She is a true testament to resilience, quickly coming around to human affection. She might be a little shy at first, but patience is well rewarded: once Vivian accepts you into her circle of trust, she generously gives sweet kisses! She is looking for a gentle, stable home where she can feel safe and continue to blossom into a confident companion. If you are looking for a loyal friend who offers precious affection, you can apply to adopt Vivian at www.adoggie4you.org. The adoption fee is $300. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2025, 9:06 pm

Story
Cilantro is a happy girl that is both blind and deaf, and not yet housebroken. She is fostered in Illinios. Meet Cilantro! Cilantro is an easygoing little girl; a gentle soul looking for love. Cilantro is a senior, both blind and deaf. Sadly, she was found wandering around on her own, but those days are over! She loves to sleep the day and night away. And who doesn't love a good cuddle?! Cilantro loves a good cuddle and kisses but will let you know when she isn't in the mood to be picked up by moving her legs a lot. She loves to burrow herself under a soft, fuzzy blanket. I call this her version of hide and seek. She tends to grunt and bark at times out of frustration and to let you know when she is hungry for food/snack or thirsty. And she makes the cutest sounds! This little one is special due to little grunts (sounds like a human) and how she has to work up her bark. Cilantro is ready for her forever home! BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
