Story
Chaos is an adorable pug who is about 1.5 years old (born 6/6/2024) and weighs 21 lbs. True to his name, he’s a fun-loving, bouncy little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Chaos has almost mastered house-training and does great in his crate at night. He’s a very active, playful pup who loves romping around with his female canine siblings, playing fetch, zooming around the house or yard, and enjoying all the toys he can get his paws on. When he finally runs out of energy, he’s more than happy to curl up close to his people for a cozy nap on your lap. He’s currently working on leash training, and because he can escape a harness or collar and doesn’t feel comfortable going potty on a leash or tie-out, a secure fenced yard would be the best fit for him. Chaos loves everyone, but due to his enthusiastic and excitable nature, he’ll do best with older kids who can handle his happy energy. Chaos is super smart, eager to learn, and described as friendly, outgoing, adaptable, happy, playful, and loyal. His foster mom says he doesn’t know a stranger—he wants to be friends with everyone he meets! He loves being right by his people’s side, sometimes forgetting about personal space because he never wants to miss out on anything. His minimum adoption fee is $400 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.

Story
Another collaboration with Paws for Life K9 and Wings of Rescue to bring in 17 pups and dogs this weekend - mostly all small in stature with ages ranging from 8 weeks through 10 years!   Sooty's name describes this cute black/charcoal boy! He is estimated to be 1 year old and weighs between 15-17lbs.   Sooty is on the submissive side and gets along with both dogs and cats! Please note that he  will try to run out any time he sees an open door and the foster family is working on that.  More information to come soon as he gets settled! 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
Who can say "no" to that little pug face with underbite!  Sadly, Boots was an owner surrender due to family health issues.   He is estimated to be 6 years old and is just shy of 20lbs. Foster home update: Boots is a playful fella who loves squeaky toys. When he's not playing with toys, he enjoys watching out the window or cuddling up next to his foster Mom. He does great on a regular potty schedule, is dog friendly but loves attention from his people. He will melt your heart with his whole body wiggles!   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.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs,
Story
Meet Ringo, a 1-year-old English Bulldog/Pug mix weighing about 45lbs. Ringo has had a rough start and is looking for a patient, dedicated home to help him blossom. He is dog friendly and very curious about other dogs, we think it would be very beneficial to have a friendly, confident dog in the home. Ringo can jump or climb any barrier or fence. He cannot be off leash outside at all as he will escape and run away. Ringo is quite nervous and will need a couple meet and greets to get comfortable. Once he is comfortable, he thinks he is a lap dog and will jump onto staff or into their laps. His ideal home would be without kids and in a quieter environment, away from a lot of traffic.If interested in Ringo, please understand he will be foster-to-adopt as he will need time to decompress. We also have a behaviorist we utilize to help with the transition and adjustment.
