Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Look in to my eyes... You are falling in love with me, you want to take me home forever"...  This young handsome boy has such mesmerizing eyes!  Brody is approximately 4 months old and weighs between 30-35lbs. Foster home update:  He was a perfect angel in the car ride home. He was excited to meet my 2 dogs and really wants to play. He’s got a lot of energy but easily goes in his crate for bedtime and stays quiet all night.  Likes his crate and rarely barks, stays quiet all night.  He is almost potty trained.  He is eager to play with other dogs but sometimes can play a little rough so if there is another dog in the home it should be up for hard play.  Still working on leash walking but loves running through the yard  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. Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. March 10, 2026, 2:57 pm

Story
Monty is a male, two-year-old Australian Shepherd. He is approximately 50 lbs., neutered and up to date on all his shots. He is a big love bug, always giving kisses and wagging his tail. A little reserved and quiet - he did not do well in the shelter. After a few days in his new foster home, he is starting to get some pep in his step. Monty is very intelligent and will be easily trained. He would thrive in a home with a large, fenced yard and another welcoming dog. Unfortunately, Monty is not a fan of cats. Due to his demeanor, he may also do better in a home with older children. He is fantastic on a leash with a good harness, as Aussies love to run. Monty is mesmerized by squirrels and becomes very excited when he spots one. Due to his long, beautiful coat, he will need regular grooming. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Let`s get one thing straight: Finley is not a service dog.He was sold as one on Facebook — and yes, we know — but Finley has opinions about sheep, suspicious feelings about strangers, and absolutely zero interest in your emotional support paperwork. He is, however, a genuinely wonderful dog who deserved better than a transaction built on false promises.Now that we`ve cleared that up, allow us to introduce the real Finley.He`s a one-year-old Border Collie mix with a medium build, movie-star good looks, and a heart full of loyalty — once he decides you`ve earned it. He warms up on his own timeline (respect it, and you`ll have a friend for life). He`s remarkably tolerant of other dogs and gets along well with fellow pets.Finley needs a home that gets herding dogs — the intensity, the intelligence, the occasional side-eye. For that reason, we`re looking for kids 12 and up only.If you want a smart, handsome, soulful dog who just needs the right people to finally see him for who he actually is — Finley is your guy.Finley weighs 36lbs
