Story
Izzy (Yellow) and Ozzy (Black) were both adopted from Mag Mutts (Ozzy in Oct 2022 and Izzy in Feb 2023 - so they are not siblings).  Sadly, their Adopter passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving them without a home as other family members were not in a position to take them in. Mag Mutts has accepted them back and they will both be turning 4 years old in a few months and are said to be housebroken and friendly.  Foster home update: Izzy is settling well in her foster home, engaging with the resident dog and following the foster all around. She sleeps quietly on the floor all night near the foster's bed and will protest for a short time when foster leaves the home, but does settle.  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.

Story
We are declaring winter over by having an entire flower garden of pups now in our care. Meet the flower litter pups!   These blossoming blooms are approximately 4-5 months old and range between 15-20lbs! Mom is guessed to be a Feist mix an Dad looks to be a silver Lab mix (photo's attached for reference). Foster home update: Lilac is a loving, very active girl. She enjoys playing with other dogs, but needs help knowing what is appropriate "play" - she just gets so excited and does not realize.  She is learning to accept being crated, but will protest loudly, but settles once she knows you have left, so for that reason, she will not be suited for apartments, condominiums or townhomes.  With her exuberance, she would do best in a home with older children, so she does not accidentally bump into them. She is making progress in her foster home, but will definitely benefit from obedience training.  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.

Story
Bernie is a young adult boy that is playful, friendly and looking for his forever home!  He is approximately 1-2 years old old and weighs about 15lbs. Foster home update: Bernie is a little shy at first, but, give him a couple of hours and he will be your best friend! He is house trained when kept on a schedule and is also crate trained! He has the cutest little smile with his underbite. He's great with kids and warms up to adults and other dogs. Fetch is his thing, whether it's a ball or anything that squeaks. Sweet and adorable. Anyone would love him as an addition to their family! We recommend training for all our dogs!     Thanks to a  generous donor  Bernie's adoption fee has been reduced to $100 to help him find a home quicker! **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.

Story
Rosee is a sweet and energetic 2-year old pittie/bulldog mix. She loves her humans fiercely, which makes it fitting for her to be an only dog in the house, as she demands a lot of attention. She loves to play fetch, cuddle, & go on long walks. Because of her high energy- she can be around kids, but older kids preferred, as she’s very excitable. She will need regular exercise & someone who has time and patience with her. A fenced yard will be beneficial in helping her expend her energy! 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.
