Pickle Needs a Foster or Adopter by 5/29/26 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin
Pickle is currently in a foster home in Georgia and is looking for a foster or adopter to secure his spot on the transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 5/29/26. A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we’re hoping the right person will give him the second chance he deserves.
Meet Pickle
Pickle is a 3-year-old Red Heeler/Bully mix who is ready to start over after a heartbreaking loss. He originally came into the kill shelter as a return after the passing of his owner—through no fault of his own, his whole world was turned upside down when the person he loved most was gone.
Now safe in a foster home in Georgia, Pickle is patiently waiting for his next chapter. He’s the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with his people and truly wants nothing more than to be close to them. Pickle is a classic “velcro dog” who loves to follow his person from room to room, just happy to be near you whether you’re relaxing, working, or going about your day.
Pickle is also a big, lovable boy who enjoys the simple joys in life—snacks, a comfy bed, and a good game of fetch. He’ll happily chase a ball with enthusiasm, though retrieving it is still a work in progress (he has his own interpretation of the game). He’s also very smart and eager to please, showing off a perfect sit when treats are involved.
More than anything, Pickle is a loyal, affectionate dog who just wants a person of his own again. A home where he can feel safe, loved, and included will mean everything to him. He is currently 70lbs, but is working on losing some of the extra fluff.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $125 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
