In loving memory

Starla is the newest star here at Muttville and we just love this girl!

Can’t you tell by looking at her photos how sweet she is!? Starla was originally found as a stray in Stockton so we don’t know much about her past, but she was clearly well-socialized and loved. Despite all the recent changes in her life, Starla is just perfect! She gets along great with dogs of all sizes and is friendly towards people of all ages. …

On May 19th, Very Good Dog Mocha’s life was completed. Mocha was rescued at age 10 by Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and lived with me for 4 1/2 happy years in

the little cottage at the end of the street. We took excellent care of one another.

Mocha loved long walks, romping around the yard, tasty snacks, spying on the chickens and evading capture when she periodically escaped from …

Kind words from his guardian

It is with profound sadness that I tell you, Sheldon passed away in my arms on Tuesday. He was very brave, and I think was very ready to go.

Before he woke up for the day, he was dreaming hard. Reflecting on that, I believe that he was already playing – using his legs with abandon and being free of the pain he had dealt with for who …

In memoriam:

Hi Sherri and team

Beautiful Harriet crossed the bridge last night. Her cancer progressed quickly and she deteriorated over the last few days to the point that it was her time.

She brought us so much joy, her tail always wiggling and a big smile on her face …

Howard has a sad, but familiar story for us here at Muttville. He was dumped by his family at a shelter because they thought he was too old. Someone forgot to tell Howard that he’s not too old he is full of pep with the heart of a puppy! Despite an arthritic limp, he walks with a spring in his step and is always excited to walk, run and play. If you let him he will squeeze his big body onto your lap for a snuggle and a kiss. Howard is great with children as well as other dogs and even cats! He is a well behaved …

In memoriam:

Like all well-loved dogs, Magnolia went by any number of different variations of her name. Maggie. Mags. Maggie-Moe. Moe-Moe. Miss Maggie Moe. She didn’t care what you called her, she was just happy to be there.

Maggie came into my life in December 2017, just a few short months after I had to say good-bye to my 15 year old rescue, Lola. I was …

In Memoriam:

Dear Muttville,

On August 5, 2018, my husband and I walked into Muttville not really knowing what we were looking for and weren’t sure we were ready to come home with a new dog after our previous senior passed months before. It turns out that it would be one of the best decisions of our lives. Bear (previously Pooka) …

She’ll be a perfectly loyal companion for someone special! She is also great with dogs of all sizes and seems to enjoy being around them. She spends a lot …

In Memoriam –

“Morty was our fourth senior dog but our first ever fospice adoption; we saw his face on Muttville’s website and it was like his eyes were calling out and begging us to bring him home. Morty was so scared, and had obviously had a very difficult life, but he blossomed and opened up to us quicker than we could have hoped for. He loved to lay on his back and swat at our fingers, just like a cat. (We …
