Remember Tiny Tim? He was pulled last week from animal control and was able to rest comfortably in his foster home. Today he went to Old Friend Senior Dog Sanctuary where he will be loved and doted on for the rest of his days!! We are so thrilled they took him into their care and cannot imagine a better outcome for Tiny Tim (who turned out to be more of a spicy chili pepper sometimes) 😂

Congrats old man! Your days of neglect and loneliness are over ❤️

We at MMM are committed to ensuring our Mutts find homes that are a good fit. Just like people, it can take a while for your new Mutt to acclimate to their new cushy lifestyle. Just like for people, a change in circumstances can result in a change in behavior. A lot of our Mutts come from, shall we say, “less than desirable conditions”. They don’t know how to “dog” in a people’s world. While our team of fosters, behavior experts, veterinarians, and trainers do everything possible to make sure our Mutts are perfect angels, some things take time. We understand that, and we want to see your Mutt succeed. That’s why we partner with several local businesses to make sure that you and your Mutt have the best start possible. No matter how much we do, the most important thing for your new Mutt is that you give them your patience and lots of that extra love many of them haven’t known much of.

Please take a moment and enjoy this sweet poem one of our volunteers wrote to spread the message of patience. 📝

🐾Remember the Threes🐾

When your Mutt crashes in with the opposite of ease,
take a deep breath don’t cry on your knees.
Stop for a moment and remember the 3s.
Where your Mutt came from is anyone’s guess.
Maybe your Mutt showed up all full of stress.
3 days it can take them to just decompress.
This is when kindness and love are a must
because it takes 3 weeks to start building trust.
Give them the time they need to adjust.
3 months later, now your Mutt builds a bond.
If your Mutt isn’t perfect, you haven’t been conned.
However you’ve trained them is how they respond.
Teach them gently with a nudge not a shove.
Make them feel happy, make them feel love,
And your family’s new Mutt will fit like a glove!

Let’s talk about those seniors, those old geezers, those old souls. ❤️

Why adopt a senior?

Many senior dogs are dumped at the shelter or surrendered when they are older due to them becoming an “inconvenience.” Maybe they have vision or hearing loss, or develop age related arthritis. Just as people age, dogs develop different needs as they get older too.

What are some positives to adopting a senior dog?

✅ they are done with the puppy stage!
✅ they are typically already potty trained!
✅ they don’t chew on your furniture and usually are not destructive
✅ they sleep most of the day
✅ they are much lower energy and don’t require as much exercise. Of course most seniors still like their walkies ❤️

Take a look at our adoptable seniors at mikaelasmuttmotel.org

If you’d like to foster for the Soul Dog Suite program please fill out a foster app on the website! We cannot save these golden oldies without foster homes ❤️

*Adoption Pending*

Howdy! The name is Melvin. I am one of the new members of what they call Soul Dog Suites at Mikaela's Mutt Motel! 🏘

I came from a home once and was then surrendered to the scary shelter. I was terrified. A nice lady picked me up and brought me home and said she would find me a loving home that I could stay in forever this time. 🥹

I’m around 8 years old and completely potty trained. I’m about 12 pounds and am currently on a weight loss journey. 😏

I am a Chihuahua mix, and if you know my breed, you know I fear nothing! I love attention of all kinds, and even though I get a little grumpy when my foster mom gives the other dogs here attention, I immediately stop when she tells me too. 🫡

She explained that the other dogs need love too and I get that but- what about ME! After all, I am a typical somewhat “spicy” Chihuahua mix with lots of love to give and a little weight to lose! 🤗

I have done fine with the large and small dogs here, and I would do well in a home as an only dog or with other calm dogs. I am an old man after all… 👴

Do you have room for me in your home and heart? 🙏

🙏🥳 Thanks to your support, we have rescued 30 dogs in the last 35 days!! 🥳🙏

Meet Sullee, the 3-year-old Mutt who’s got “handsome” written all over him. He was rescued from Montgomery County Animal Care and Control thanks to a wonderful foster family! 🙏

This charming canine has been a true charmer with adults, kids, and even other dogs. He’s the definition of “man’s best friend” (and woman’s too!). 🥰

Sullee’s got a heart of gold and a wagging tail that could rival a wind turbine. He’s already a whiz at “sit,” “stay,” and the art of kennel confinement. Plus, this foodie is all about those tasty treats – training him is a piece of cake (or rather, a delicious dog biscuit!). 🦴

The only thing missing from Sullee’s life? A loving family and a well-stocked pantry. This “hunk of love” is ready to steal your heart and empty your grocery bags (in a totally adorable way, of course). 🤗

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to add a dash of “handsome” and a whole lot of love to your life. Adopt Sullee today! ❤

🐶Fun fact about fostering #3:

Fostering gives dogs more time to find a family. Shelters and rescues often have limited space, so dogs do not always get fair time to be seen or adopted. If you open up your home, it allows a longer period and more opportunities for a dog to find the PAWfect home. The time constraint is gone. Additionally, the dog will get a chance at a family that perhaps it wouldn’t have had before without a foster. ⏲️

If you or someone you know are interested in fostering with us, please fill out an application ⬇️

🍀 The Lucky Litter Needs Your Help! 🐾

Less than 48 hours after finding loving homes for the Country Canines, we were contacted about a litter of puppies born in the shelter. 💔 Growing up in a shelter is no life for a puppy, so we immediately pulled them and their momma to safety.

Now, we're facing a critical need for donations and puppy supplies! 🍼 🐶

Please consider donating or purchasing some much-needed items from our Amazon Wishlist to help us give these little ones the best possible start in life. 🎁 Every contribution, big or small, makes a HUGE difference.

🐾 HUGE NEWS for Mikaela's Mutt Motel! 🐾

We are beyond thrilled to introduce Ingrid as our new Director of Foster Care! 🎉 Ingrid brings a wealth of experience and a heart full of compassion to this crucial role.

Fostering is the lifeline of our rescue efforts, and Ingrid will be leading the charge in building and supporting our incredible foster network.

Why is fostering so important? It's simple: fostering SAVES LIVES. It provides a safe, loving haven for dogs in need, giving them a chance to decompress from shelter life, recover from illness or injury, and learn what it's like to be part of a family. 💖

Fosters provide invaluable insights into a dog's personality, helping us find the perfect forever match. Without fosters, we can't rescue nearly as many dogs.

Ingrid's passion for animal welfare is truly inspiring. Her journey began in Ecuador, where she dedicated herself to rescuing and rehabilitating street animals. She witnessed firsthand the incredible transformations that occur when animals are given love, care, and patience. She's fostered over 250 cats and dogs, all of whom have found their happily ever after! 😊

Her dedication to animal welfare extends beyond fostering as she has worked tirelessly to promote spay/neuter campaigns and educate communities about responsible pet ownership. 🐶

Ingrid's experience makes her the perfect fit to lead our foster program. She understands the challenges and rewards of fostering and is committed to supporting our foster families every step of the way. She'll be responsible for recruiting, training, and nurturing our foster network, ensuring the well-being of the dogs in their care, and working to expand our reach so we can save even more lives. 🤗

Ingrid shares her Tennessee home with her canine companions, Rumbera and Violeta, who made the journey with her from Ecuador. They are a testament to her commitment to providing a loving and forever home. 🏡

Join us in welcoming Ingrid to the Mikaela's Mutt Motel family! We are so excited to see the amazing things she will accomplish in this role. If you're interested in becoming a foster hero, please reach out to us! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of dogs in need. 💗🐾

Help us celebrate! 🥳🥳

💓Nothing better than giving these results to Winnie!! Our sweet Winnie The Pooch is now HW free!! We’re taking that negative ➖and turning it into the best PAWsitive ➕news!

This little girl has come a long way to get here. She came to us in bad shape and our hearts are full seeing her shine now. We thank all of our MMM supporters because this would not have been possible without you!

✅Please remember to always keep your dogs up to date on their HW prevention. Preventatives are always much better than treatment.

🐾 HUGE PAWSOME NEWS! 🐾

Mikaela's Mutt Motel is thrilled to announce our newest division: Soul Dog Suites! 🎉 This special wing of our rescue is dedicated to providing comfort and care for senior dogs and those in need of hospice care. We understand the unique needs of these precious pups, and we're committed to giving them the golden years they deserve.

And we're even MORE excited to introduce the amazing woman leading this charge: our new board member and Soul Dog Suites Director, Jobie Aldrich! 🙌

Jobie's passion for senior dogs is truly inspiring. Since 2021, she's been a dedicated foster, with a special place in her heart for the wise old souls. Originally from Wisconsin, Jobie bravely moved her entire life to Clarksville, TN in 2023 to follow her dream: to make a real difference in dog rescue, especially for seniors and hospice cases.

Jobie's mission is to shower these often-overlooked dogs with love, care, and comfort. She's opened her own home to countless seniors, creating a sanctuary where they can thrive. Her goal? To find loving forever homes for senior dogs and to educate the community about the urgent need for senior dog adoption.

Too many seniors end up scared, confused, and alone in shelters, their senses often diminished with age. Jobie is determined to ensure they receive the medical attention and loving families they so desperately need. ❤️

Jobie shares her home with two senior rescues of her own: Barbara, a 10-year-old cattle dog/pitbull/weiner dog mix rescued from Alabama, and Lucy, a 13-year-old chiweenie rescue. 🐶💖🐶

Stay tuned for more updates on Soul Dog Suites and how you can help us make a difference in the lives of senior and hospice Mutts! 💗🐾

🥳 FREEDOM FOR WHOOPI!!! 🥳 We rescued Whoopi from Montgomery County Animal Care and Control where she was patiently waiting for a home for nearly 2 months (her name there was Hennessey). 💔 “And you thought you knew Whoopi!” 🙃 Meet Whoopi, the most hilarious canine comedian you’ll ever meet! This 3-year-old sweetheart is a quick study, and with a little bit of kibble encouragement (she’s a true foodie!), training is a piece of cake. 🎂 Think of her as a furry, four-legged version of Whoopi herself – witty, charming, and always ready to entertain. 🤗 Whoopi is a pro at chilling out in her kennel and has made some paw-some friends with other dogs. She’s the life of the party, but also knows when to tone it down and enjoy some quiet time. 🛏 “This ain’t no joke, she’s the perfect match for you!” ✅️ Don’t miss out on the chance to bring home this comedic genius! Whoopi is ready to bring laughter and love into your life. 💕 “Come on, people, let’s get this girl a home!” 🏡 mikaelasmuttmotel.org/whoopi

Sweet Shiloh is healing well, and he will be ready for his fur-ever home soon! Someone will be very lucky to have this sweet boy! 💗🤗

Wade is so happy to hear that his foster family will be keeping him fur-ever!!! 🥳💕 Thank you so much for volunteering, fostering, and adopting!! 🙏🤗

Sweet puppy dreams 😍😴 mikaelasmuttmotel.org/country-canines

Maybe the Stewart County Sheriffs Office can explain how Deputy Allison House (AKA Fenske) visited the property several times and still called the photos we took "petty back and forth" and "false accusations." Bear in mind this call took place on 12/27/24 and the "back and forth" didn't start until a Stewart County Deputy named the rescue in question on 12/29/24. If you have any questions about this matter, you can reach the Stewart County Sheriff at: [email protected] Yes, that is different from the email in the video. We made a mistake. *Edited 1/4/24 at 0838 to show the dispatcher is named Amiller and the Deputy was Allison House (AKA Fenske)

We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas!!! We want to thank all of you for making sure that our Mutts got all of the goodies that they asked Santa Paws for!!! 🎅💗 We appreciate all of you so very much!! 🐾🙏
