🐾 Meet Cookie! 🐾 This sweet boy is a male Chihuahua mix who’s ready to find his forever home! 💙 ✅ Neutered ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Microchipped ✅ House-trained Cookie is playful, affectionate, and LOVES roughhousing with other dogs. He’s also a total cuddlebug who enjoys sleeping in bed with his people and giving kisses. He’s smart, listens well, and loves being part of the action! 😘 He currently lives in a foster home with dogs, chickens, and birds — and gets along great with all of them. He will chase cats if they run, so a confident cat is best. 💬 He’s cautious with new people and will bark to let you know he’s unsure, so he needs a home that’s patient and willing to give him time to settle in and build trust. ❗️No young kids — Cookie does best in a calmer environment with adults or older, respectful teens. 🐕‍🦺 We’d love to see him in a home with another playful dog — he really thrives when he has a buddy! 🏃‍♂️ He’s an active little guy, so his ideal home will be one that enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping him engaged. 📍Ready to meet him? Apply today at: www.mainstreetmuttrescue.com Give Cookie the chance to settle in — and he’ll reward you with endless love. 🐶❤️ #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ChihuahuaMix #PlayfulPup #MainStreetMuttRescue #AdoptCookie

Story
Meet Greg – A Brave Heart with a Gentle Soul Greg has had a rough start in life, but you’d never guess it from his playful spirit and wagging tail. Since arriving at his foster home, he’s been learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. With patience, love, and guidance from his foster mom and her dogs, Greg is growing braver every day. He’s mostly housebroken, though he still uses a pee pad on occasion. Greg is currently working on getting comfortable with a leash, so he’ll need a securely fenced yard and a patient adopter willing to help him continue building confidence at his own pace. Greg adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine buddy. He loves to chase, wrestle, and share toys with his four-legged friends. Speaking of toys, Greg is a big fan – especially ones that hide treats and challenge his clever nose. Though he’s not a lap dog, Greg shows affection in sweet, unique ways. He loves being scratched behind the ears and will gently grab your hand if you stop too soon. At bedtime, he turns into a cuddle bug, happily snuggling in close for the night. He’s very food-motivated and will follow you around just for a chance at a treat – a great trait for continued training! Greg also gets the zoomies and flashes the cutest smile when he’s excited. He’s been around kids, dogs, and even birds. While quick movements from little ones can still make him nervous, he’ll quietly sit beside calm children and observe curiously. For this reason, a home with older, respectful kids would be ideal. Greg is a sweet, sensitive boy who’s made incredible progress. All he needs now is a forever home that understands his gentle nature, continues his training, and showers him with the love and stability he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a big heart and playful soul, Greg just might be your perfect match.

Story
🐾 Meet Bruno! 🐾 What can we say about Bruno? He’s truly one of the sweetest, friendliest dogs you’ll ever meet. This handsome boy absolutely adores people of all ages, shapes, and sizes! Bruno has a fun-loving, playful personality and a contagious enthusiasm for life. If anything, he might be a little too friendly — but honestly, that’s part of his irresistible charm. At just about a year old, he’s still young and full of energy, ready to join you on every adventure. He came to us as an owner surrender, and he’s already house-trained, crate-trained, and doing well on a leash. He’s picking up basic commands quickly and is eager to learn more. His recall is awesome, and he absolutely loves trail walks where he can sniff and explore to his heart’s content. 🐶 How Bruno does with others: Cats: Bruno has met a few cats and seems like he could cohabitate peacefully with them, though we recommend supervision since he hasn’t had long-term cat friends while with us. Dogs: He does well with other dogs, especially those his size who are confident but not overbearing. Because he was a bit undersocialized before coming to us, he’s still learning dog signals, play styles, and how to manage his excitement. Overall, he does great — he just gets a little overstimulated around multiple dogs. He’s never lived with another dog before but is currently fostered with several and doing well! Bruno would be the perfect fit for an active family who enjoys walking, hiking, or just spending time outdoors. If you’re looking for a loyal, happy companion to share life with — Bruno is ready to be your sidekick! 💙 📩 Apply or reach out at mainstreetmuttrescue@gmail.com to learn more about adopting this amazing boy.
