MUTT MADD-NESS a 501(c)(3) No-Kill Rescue Serving Our Community | P.O. Box 71821 | Marietta, GA 30007 | 404.406.6322 |
|
The sad reality is that over four million dogs are killed each year in shelters. Why, in a country of dog lovers, are so many dogs homeless? Won't you please help us break the cycle...educate, spay and neuter and in the meantime open your heart and your home to foster or adoption.
If you have 5 minutes we implore you to watch this
very moving video "Just One Dog" put together by Camp Cocker, a Los
Angeles based rescue. This video portrays the sad reality of the
shelter dog and walking through shelters like this is what we and
thousands of other rescues do every day. Although heart wrenching
decisions are made every time we walk through a shelter we take
another step forward because of the strength we get from being able
to rescue great dogs like Stanley. It is vital to Mutt Madd-ness
that we receive support financially, emotionally and in our struggle
to see laws passed that protect animals from an end like so many of
these experience. If everyone could reach out, even if it is for
"Just One Dog", what a different world for God's creatures this |
|
Look for us at the Petsmart on Johnson Ferry Road | Every Saturday 10:30am - 2:30pm |
|
Mutt Madd-ness makes every imaginable effort to find the best home for the dogs in our care. Sadly, many of them have been abused or neglected and others are injured or have chronic illnesses. Through our Sponsorship Program, you can choose one of our wonderful dogs and your special contribution (one time or monthly) will allow us to continue to provide our pups a safe place to live and the necessary care they need and deserve. With the support of our generous donors and the dedication of our team, we will continue to rescue dogs in need and work to make Georgia a safer place for all animals. Please consider sponsoring one of our dogs today, just click on the applicable link(s) below. |

DiDi - "Dunkin Doughnuts" Mom and
fabulous dog! You can see her "perfect 11" at the Dunkin' Donuts
shop above. DiDi is approximately two years old and came to us from Animal Control where she had just given birth. They were desperate for a rescue to take in this mom and her 3 day old pups, so we said yes. DiDi has been a fabulous mother and she has been a good little dog - easy - to have around. She takes walks with her foster parents and is very good on the leash, she stays left and looks to you. She greets all passer bys with a wagging tail and a hello how are you. She is easy going and loves hanging with foster mom and dad on the sofa catching up on American Idol. She's been congenial with other dogs that she has encountered. She is quite the little lady. She does potty outside as much as possible - she prefers. But in a kennel situation, she must use the paper. We think that in a normal living situation, she will be an easy dog to have housetrained in no time at all.

Foster news: They are sweet puppies. Happy in their crate for chunks of time but so excited to sit on one of our laps to play whenever possible. Lots of fun. Stitch is a little more laid back than Lilo. Don't know if you can tell but Lilo has a brown, not black, patch and grey/blue eyes. They do beautifully sleeping thru the night. |
Ethel | Lilo | Stitch 7.5 weeks old (3.2.10) F | American Bull Dog/ Lab Mix These little ones were part of a litter whose mom was unable to nurse. We took all of them in at 3 weeks of age to hand feed. All have done well, and have become wonderful - healthy little pups who need someone to continue to nurture and love them.

Willie | M| 1 year old +- | Great Pyrenees This "little" guy was found wandering the back roads and woodlands of North Georgia and was gathered up by Animal Control. BUT not for long after seeing his picture we could not resist this sweet teddy bear. Don't have any history on him--if only dogs could talk! He's pretty darn sweet and gentle and rode great in the car. We are having him groomed so he'll be "Pyrenees Perfect". From Our Foster: Willie is a VERY CALM, friendly, fellow. We think he may be a pure bred Great Pyrenees (as a stray, we have no papers), crate trained, walks quietly on a leash and is the epitome of a “love bug”. He is a very handsome example of this breed and the pictures do not do him justice. Willie is also about 1 year old. He was found wandering, starving and bedraggled, but was always friendly, gentle and sweet. He has gained weight, been groomed, and proven to be a lovely house pet. He plays well with other dogs, is not an “alpha”, and you just want to hug the stuffing out of him! He rarely barks, is very very gentle, and is happy outside entertaining himself in the cool weather or following me around the kitchen. ![]() 12.08.09 |

Pumpkin | 3 months old | F | Shepherd Mix This little "pumpkin" was a New Year's "Pomeranian" adoption. Of course, she's not all that - but what she is an adorable little shepherd mix puppy. Unfortunately for the family that adopted her - Pumpkin is going to be a larger breed dog than they wanted or are able to manage. She's a great little dog and she just needs a family that is looking for a bed hog. Pumpkin has had her puppy shots and is a happy - healthy "little" one. If you think you have room in heart and home for this gal - contact us! 2.1.10

Ranger then... |
Chance | 10 Months (2.10)| Male | Shepherd-Lab-Golden Mix
Chance has GPS'd his way home. Adopted at 8 weeks - this little boy has come back and needs a family to love him. Chance came to us as a baby found in a construction zone with another sibling. He was adopted the same day we got him...now 8 months later he is being returned. Chance was left to his own devices with his home being a backyard and a garage. If he's a rambunctious puppy, who could blame him. Chance is a sweet guy that got along well with his buddy the retriever and the kids. He needs someone that will spend quality time with him, running and playing and just hanging out watching a little TV. He needs to be PART of the family not an outsider looking in. Some love, patience and work - training a dog takes time - and he will be the perfect family dog. He needs someone to care enough to make him the dog he wants to be. Neutered/Up to date on his shots | 1.11.10 Chance's foster has worked diligently with him. She adores Chance - said he is completely housetrained and she trusts him anywhere in the house. She has worked ion his jumping up "playful" and he has become quite the little gentleman. Update 3.7.10: Chance has had eye surgery to correct an eyelid problem. Now he can see clear and through no more blinking and tears. Chance looks fabulous, he has slimmed down to a healthy weight and looks like the playful - young guy that he is. |

Owen when we first got him. |
Owen | 1.5 years | Male | Pittie Mix | Rescued
12.21.09
This sweet boy was brought into
DeKalb County Animal Services as a stray. He has a deformed front
leg which the vet believes is an old break that was never given any
medical attention. His nails are terribly long and he is extremely
thin. This poor dog was neglected beyond belief and yet he still has
love and affection to give. This guy is hoping for a Christmas
miracle and he got one with us and us with him. Animal cruelty is
impossible to understand and every time you look into the eyes of
these little guys your heart says...here's one more we are going to
save - we'll show them. He deserves the best and we are determined
to see he gets it. You'll see him looking a little fatter and a
whole lot happier real soon. Keep checking with us. Update 2.20.10: We had Owen's dew claw surgically removed and his foot looks much better and there is less chance for getting it caught on something. We are considering the purchase of a leg brace-splint to see if this helps him in walking with a little straighter leg position. If you would like to help with any of Owen's medical and nurturing needs, you can donate here: THANK YOU! Tanya Kissel-Malnar Jo Ellen Shiver |

Ivan |Hound Mix | Male | 1 Year Old | 40 pounds
Ivan is a young, playful dog with a rich and varied
genetic heritage that could possibly be traced back to German
Shepherd, hound bloodlines, and very likely several other medium to
large breed dogs. For the right family, he will be a source of great joy and companionship.
