Story
Hear what Ilona's foster has to say about her! "Meet Ilona! Ilona is a sweet, independent girl who loves the company of other dogs more than anything. She’s happiest when she has a playful canine companion to chase, so she’d thrive in a home with another dog who enjoys an active playmate. If her foster sisters are lounging around, she’ll let them know it’s time to play. In Ilona’s world, playtime is the best time! Though she adores her dog buddies, Ilona is a quiet and low-maintenance companion for people. She’s easy going around kids, but far more interested in playing with dogs than people. She’s an independent pup who prefers to nap solo rather than snuggle. She’s also content entertaining herself with a toy, the broom if you start sweeping, and her own tail! She’s doing great with potty training and will usually let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s crate-trained and a calm passenger on car rides. Ilona’s biggest love (besides dogs) is peanut butter! She’s so in tune with her routine that when she hears a phone alarm, she knows it’s peanut butter time. And if she doesn’t get it right away? Well, Ilona isn’t afraid to be a little diva about it! She also has a picky side. If she doesn’t like a certain food, she’ll be sure to let you know! Smart and observant, she’s picking up basic commands and loves exploring her surroundings. If you have a playful pup looking for a best friend, Ilona might be the perfect fit. Could she be the missing piece in your home?" Please note this pup has some medical conditions that our staff will be happy to speak to you about.

Story
Midnight, a common name for a common black dog....but what about me?? AM I COMMON??? NOPE! I am the lion of dog breeds :) Nothing normal or common about me! Not my beautiful mane OR my beautiful chow chow personality! So I was found in a park, abandoned with my "friends" after my owner died :( LUCKILY i found a rescue who not only LOVES the breed, but also has helped me get healthy (think heartworms and bad skin) but also will find me exactly the right family! (HOPEFULLY in a colder climate!!) I am not a puppy and since I am a single dog home I really would do best without young children or unpredictable adults :) I am a magnificent breed but we are a little picky about our friends and need someone who KNOWS and LOVES my breed.. I am ready for you if you are ready for me.... put in the adoption application!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) OUt of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)

Story
Are you looking for a snuggle friend? Well look no further!  Snuggles is here to full fill all your snuggle needs!   Snuggles is 10 years young and approx 50lbs.  Originally adopted from us in 2015 Snuggles was found as a stray in the western suburbs by the police dept. When her microchip was scanned and the owners contacted they said they did not want poor Snuggles back.  According to the owners, Snuggles was the victim of their divorce and was no longer wanted.  Neither party wanted the dog back - their dog of 10 years.  We are sad for Snuggles as none of this was her fault. Unfortunately, this is a sad story we hear over and over again and a top reason why so many dogs are sitting in shelters across the country. Thankfully we were contacted and asked if we would take Snuggles back since she was originally one of ours and we of course said yes! Once a Magnificent Mutt - always a Magnificent Mutt!  Foster home update:  Snuggles is a calm mature lady who still has some pep in her step. She enjoys going for walks and gets along well with the resident dog.  After a walk or a little time in the yard she lays down in a totally relaxed half sploot. Snuggles loves scratches especially behind her ears. She has great house manners and doesn't mind being left alone.  Snuggles has a reduced adoption donation of only $100 in hopes of helping this lady find her home sooner than later!     **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 $360-$400 (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. July 22, 2026, 11:13 pm
