Basic obedience skills are more than just rattling off a series of commands. They’re about connecting with the dog in a meaningful way so there’s a mutual respect and that dog wants to work towards what you’re asking. Our prison trainers learn to connect with the dogs they train and the end result is always so beautiful to see.
These connections require patience and a general understanding of each dog’s motivations. Pawsitive Change builds up these men so they have the ability to find those connections building a relationship and skills that will translate even once they leave prison walls.
Kite (pictured) has built an amazing relationship with his trainer and is ready to take those skills into a forever home. If you’re looking to adopt please consider one of our many Pawsitive Change dogs each hopeful their training will find them the perfect family.

This year, we’re taking on the Los Angeles Marathon to support Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue and the life-changing programs we offer, including Pawsitive Change, Miracle Mutts, Mutt Movers, The Rescue Ranch, and our new veterans program.Challenging yourself in this way is one of the ultimate acts of self-love. It’s a chance to push your limits, believe in yourself, and inspire others to do the same. We believe in YOU—and together, we can create a team that uplifts one another every step of the way.Whether you’re ready to run the Charity Half Marathon or the Full Marathon, you’ll be helping us save lives—both human and canine—and make an incredible impact.Let’s lace up, hit the pavement, and show the world what a little belief and a lot of heart can accomplish.

Mr. Perez thank you for taking the chance on Pawsitive Change! Thank you for working on the parts of yourself that will help these dogs be the best version of themselves. In turn they’re going to help you grow both as a trainer and as a person. We can’t wait to see all you accomplish this round and the opportunities the training you give will open up for Jimmy. Jimmy is currently available for adoption. Our hope is to secure an amazing family for this sweet boy once he graduates from the program. If a well trained shepherd is what you’re looking for then a Pawsitive Change dog is what you want! You can apply for Jimmy by going to the linktree in our bio. Maybe you can’t adopt but still want to support Pawsitive Change. We are starting our year end fundraising with a $50,000 donation match! Your financial gift will not only have double the value but will ensure more individuals like Mr. Perez and more dogs like Jimmy get the 2nd chance they’ve been waiting for. #marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt
These dogs have got skills and it’s all thanks to their dedicated trainers! This is Linus’ 2nd round of Pawsitive Change and his trainers are determined to improve and add to the skills he learned his last round. We think they definitely understood the assignment! As Linus continues to learn more things to add to his adoption toolbelt we’re hopeful that perfect family will take notice. He’s a super smart and fun boy who just wants to please his people and would love an active home to call his own. If you’ve been looking for a fantastic dog Linus just might be the one for you!

One of the hardest years our rescue community has ever faced but we can still find so many reasons to be thankful. The lives changed the relationships we’ve grown. We choose to focus on what keeps us going and that will make us stronger in years to come. With every save and individual triumph. Each loss and heartbreaking setback. We will always find the reason to be thankful and move forward to save more lives. They are the entire reason we exist and we know how very thankful they must be ❤️.From the entire crew at Marley’s Mutts ~Happy Thanksgiving~#marleysmutts #muttmilitia #dogrescue #foster #adopt #rescuedog #secondchance #fostering #animaladvocate #adopt #dogrescue #fosteringsaveslives #savealife #shelter #adoption #foreverhome #spayandneuter #rescuedog #rescue #adoptdontshop #adoptme #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dontshopadopt
