Story
Wrigley is the sweetest guy ever. He had such a bad start to life, as you can tell by the last photo. Wrigely is barely 2 years old and about 18 lbs. Looks just like a Shihzue, but with longer legs. He is so happy and affectionate and good in any situation. Great with people of all ages, dogs, and with cats. We just cannot say enough good stuff about this little gem. Wrigley is a must meet, for he will steal your heart for sure. Please open your hearts and home t this great boy - you will be so glad you did. LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER (Pregnant Dog Rescue) is a private, in home, all breed rescue facility. We exist only on the kindness of your donations and adoptions! We pride ourselves on being an HOLISTIC center and feed only holistic foods and various vitamins and supplements to all of our dogs. LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER dogs are well socialized, very friendly, and in wonderful health.  We stand by our pups/dogs, and give 10 days for a refund and almost always take our dogs back at any age of their lives (often depends on dog)! LMAC has an application screening process.  All applicants are asked to provide vet references, personal references, and a home visit.  We pride ourselves in matching up the right dog with the right home. Sometimes this happens quickly and sometimes it might take awhile. We hope you understand and are willing to wait for the perfect pup for your situation. We reserve the right to turn applicants down and to change our mind about a suitable match, for we are only concerned about what is best for our dogs.  Also note that we arrange our visiting hours around your schedule, as this is a private, in home facility.  We respond to all inquiries promptly, so if you have any trouble sending us an email, or have not heard back from us within 24 hours, please, CONTACT US AGAIN and check your spam!  (We all know how emails can be at times!) Our dogs are spayed or neutered (if old enough), up to date on vaccines, wormed, heartworm tested, and free of fleas and ticks.  We temperament test our  dogs and they are all suitable for many family situations. Our dogs are well mannered, know some basic commands, and are usually housebroken within a week of being with us (if old enough).  They are in our family/home situation at this time (not in kennels or crates, although most are crate trained) and are worked with daily.  All of our dogs do well with other dogs and many do well with cats. Adoption donations vary with age, breed, vetting, and training of the dog, and range from $250 to $695 (most being $595).  (We do not tend to place puppies or small dogs with kids under 6 and reserve the right to match who WE feel would be the best homes for our dogs.)   October 22, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
Scooter is such a sweet and gentle boy. A touch timid to start, but warms up nicely and just wants to be with his people. Scooter is about 6 years old and 45 lbs of sweetness. He does great with other dogs and we can cat test. Would do best with a fenced yard and a little bit calmer home. A must meet, for this boy will steal your heart for sure - he is just so wonderful and needs a forever home of his own.

Story
Lita is a love. She is so gentle and calm and sweet. A joy to be around and to work with. Lita is about 12 to 15 months old and a thin 68 lbs at this time. Needs at least 10 more lbs on her. She does well in any situation and all age humans. Great with dogs and we can cat test. Her coat is like velvet! We just cannot find anything other than wonderful stuff about this wonderful girl. Great on leash, but another dog and a fenced yard would be SO great for this awesome girl. A must meet, for she will steal your heart for sure.

Story
Pip is just the best puppy. He is about 10 months old and 40 lbs of love and sweetness. We have no idea of his mix, but whatever it is, he is cute as can be. Pip is playful and affectionate and eager to please. He is not hyper and listens well. Good with dogs and kids and we can cat test. Pip spent months at a shelter, turned in with his mother, months ago. We took the mother, for we had thought Pip had anotehr rescue, only to find out weeks later, that he was still at the shelter. So we got him into foster and now he comes to us. Truly just a great puppy in need of a great home. Would do great with another dog friend and a fenced yard.
