Happy Pawlidays Everyone!
This is 14 year old Kelly and we’re hoping her forever people are out there. Kelly came to us after her owner passed away. Her owner’s daughter came to us asking for help, as she was in rehab, and was in no position to take Kelly in. You can tell Kelly was so loved by her previous owner. Kelly is 14 years old and loves sunbathing, hanging out with other dogs, and playing with her stuffed animals. Her next family will be given the bag of stuffed animals she came to us with, which are the only thing she has left from her last home. We always pray extra hard for our senior dogs that really gone thru it and deserve to spend their numbered days in a loving home. If you’d like to join our hospice care program and love on Kelly, please apply at https://www.muttsinneed.org/foster-application.html **Please note we will provide you her food and give you her stuffed animals that she came with 🥺 We just ask that you love her!
This is Latte. He’s a 3 year old Shepherd mix who enjoys car rides, treats, and making sure our rescue president, Steve, looks his best. Adopt this hardworking boy at www.MuttsinNeed.org
Don’t quote us but we once heard a volunteer complain that they only have two hands for petting. 🤷🏻♀️ It’s tough work trying to pet all the dogs, but someone’s gotta do it. More hands = more dogs to pet. #volunteer #needmorehands #petallthedogs
Foster needed for S’mores
Foster needed! If you’re available to foster, we need at least a 3 week commitment, for 9 week old S’mores. Poor S’mores was being taken to the shelter when one of our transporters intervened and got her before she was dropped off. Another puppy that a family “had no time for”. A tale as old as time in the rescue world. 😪We’ll provide all the food and necessary supplies for S’mores if you can foster. Please apply at: https://www.muttsinneed.org/foster-application.html NOTE: because S’mores isn’t fully vaccinated or spayed yet, all animals in the foster home must be current on vaccines and spayed/neutered.
Happy National Spoil Your Dog Day
Happy National Spoil Your Dog Day! 🎉🐾 Today, we celebrate the joy and love our furry friends bring into our lives. Whether it’s a special treat, a new toy, or taking them to do their favorite activities (thank you @walknwagnpets for taking adoptable dogs, Theo and Patsy, to the water) let’s show our rescues just how much they mean to us. Share your favorite ways to pamper your pup and spread the love! Tag your Mutts in Need alumni so we can share how loved they are 💖 #NationalSpoilYourDogDay
Thank you FitPup Mobile Dog Gym for letting us check out the new digs!We’re so glad to have this enrichment option for the dogs in Orange County (and we knew Patsy couldn’t wait to try it out too!). There are so many cool reasons why we love Fit Pup, but these are our favorite 3 reasons: 1. it’s climate controlled (with this Orange County heat, going outside with your dog becomes strategic 🥵🔥) 2. Fit Pup uses a slatmill, which is a non-motorized treadmill that your dog controls how fast or slow they want to move becuase it’s powered by their movement. (So obviously Patsy ran her heart out when she learned she could control her speed! 💨💨) 3. Fit Pup comes to you! They serve the Orange County area so say goodbye to the excuse of not having time to be able to exercise your dog for the day. While we would continue to recommend bonding with your dog on the leash, we like to think of Fit Pup as an added enrichment for your dog, almost like a fun treat for them! But they are also a great option if you maybe don’t have a large yard and want your dog to be able to run, you have guests coming over and need to tire them out for the day, you got busy with work and aren’t able to physically stimulate your high-energy dog, or maybe you have a reactive dog that gets distracted easily. We could think of many factors of why Fit Pup is cool and they’re great for all size/breed dogs! Call/text (949) 216-3912 to try Fit Pup Mobile for FREE for your 1st session! Fun fact: Patsy (available for adoption) ran as fast as 8mph during her 30 minute session and was pooped after her session 😌
Dogs like Kona are who your donations help! 100% of your donations go to the dogs and are tax-deductible. We just took Kona in and need help raising money towards his vet care (vaccines, neuter, and getting his eyes looked at). He’s got a long road of rehabilitation ahead of him but THIS is why we rescue. To be able to give dogs like Kona another opportunity at life. Venmo: @MuttsinNeed PayPal:[email protected]

Thank you to those that have supported Britney! If you’re new here, Britney was scheduled to be put down because she has a misaligned spine that prevented her from walking normal. She needed a critical procedure done. She’s only 4 years old and we don’t know her past but we took a chance to fight for her. We are $1100 from raising our goal to pay for her surgery and have a couple days, when we pick her up, to raise that last amount. Thank you and huge thanks to her foster mom, Ashley, who has been her biggest advocate! https://gofund.me/43c47f77
