Story
Hi, my name is Bugz. I'm a little guy who really needs someone who has the time, patience, and resources to help me build confidence and to feel safe. I'd really benefit from working with one of the rescue's recommended trainers to teach you how to set me up for success so we can build a bond and I can flourish. I'm currently struggling with being restrained and leashed up. However, I am slowly getting better and also learning, with one of the volunteers, that having a leash put on and taken off means good things happen. Hopefully I can learn a harness isn't a bad thing either! I think until I'm confident, I'd need to be muzzle trained for vet visits. Until I can feel 100% safe being restrained and leashed up I'd really benefit from a fenced in yard so I didn't need to worry too much about being handled for potty breaks. I can take a few visits to get used to new people, but I've gotten better and open up quicker to new people. I love the volunteers that get me out to play outside and give me scratches. I'd love to find a home where someone can continue helping me build my confidence and make me feel safe. Can I build a bond with you? I can't wait to have a home to call my own. I hope I see you soon!Born 04/01/2022- adoption fee $250- neutered- small at 18lbs- house brokenFill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org  ##1700761##

Story
Meet Daisy Sue!This girl is relatively new to the Wright-Way Rescue family but ready to find her perfect home!Daisy Sue is a beautiful girl who is small in size. She would love nothing more than a cozy bed to snuggle in (and maybe some nice treats too). This girl is trainable, and willing to learn more with you each and every day! She would make an absolutely adorable addition to a household.Daisy Sue is a lovable and sweet, Rat Terrier mix that is available for adoption.Here's what her foster had to say:"My foster Daisy is finally getting comfortable in the car! She's also doing much better on walks and in the house vs when I first brought her home, she was afraid of almost everything. Daisy is so much more confident and relaxed and it's only been two weeks!"Follow up:"Daisy is rocking her new bandana! She is turning into such a confident dog and she is comfortable with other dogs (her size preferably) and cats as well!"-----------------------------------------------------------THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

Story
MM-MM Good... Momma Mabel and the "mmmmmm" pups have arrived and they are as cute as buttons! Mabel is approximately 3 years old, about 28-30lbs and can be timid at first, but warms up as she trusts!  She's on the 'thin' side after nursing her 6 puppies (also available for adoption), so will need a few extra calories to fill out! She would love a family, couple or person to spend the rest of her life with!  We recommend obedience training for all 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 that 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. Dogs/Puppies adoption donations range from $300-$400 (cash only). Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation.    Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog or cat application. Adoption Fees* Dogs/Puppies starting at $300 Prices subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donations. November 29, 2023, 3:45 pm

Story
Rio needs to be rehomed. We rescued him from the cold about two years ago. Unfortunately it’s not working out. Rio and our male Chihuahua are not bonding and we don’t have the time to give him the attention he deserves. Rio really needs a human with a lot of patience and time and a home preferably no other dogs. We think he is a Rat Terrier and is around five years old. He is very energetic and loves to chew on bones. His favorite snack is teething rings. He is pad trained and trained to go outside.
