In loving memory

Sailor is a special little boy! Are you looking for a real softy? Sailor is your guy! He’s gentle and calm – with a happy waggy tail when you enter the room. Sailor is the kind of guy that makes YOU feel special.

Sailor is blind but you might never know it, he is so well adjusted. He has a soft coat. We think he is 9 years old and he weighs 22 pounds. Sadly, his person passed away, so we know that he has been …

Lemon, when we adopted you 4yrs ago, we thought we were saving you. We never imagined you were sent to help us through 2 major surgeries and a long vertigo episode. So who saved who? Just when my …

From Chacho’s hospice mom, Marie:

I know it seems like adopting hospice senior dogs is depressing, but here’s why it’s not…

Hospice dogs like Chachito are rescued by Muttville with terminal illnesses or health so poor that they look like they are at death’s …

Goodbye, sweet PIERRE

It is with the heaviest of hearts, that we say goodbye to you, our tired little buddy.

“No matter how long or how short a time you have with your senior, it is never ever long enough, and so it was

with our beloved Pinto (Bean) who left us last week due to a hemangiosarcoma in his abdomen; he was too old

to subject to surgery and chemotherapy and it would have been selfish of us to make him endure all …

We never imagined we’d be adopting a 13 year old miniature Schnauzer when we went to pick out our first foster dog. We had only a few dogs to pick from that day & we got a resounding “Ah, take Perla!” when we asked who we should foster. So she came home with us & 3 days in, we knew she wasn’t going anywhere! Epic foster fail! We’ll never understand how such a sweet, hilarious, beautiful, loving pup was abandoned at a shelter before Christmas, just before her 13th birthday. She also never imagined that we’d be …

Dear Muttville,

With a very heavy heart, I write to tell you that we had to let go of our Muttville pup, Pence. Saved by Muttville in April 2015, Pesto, now renamed Pence, stole out hearts with his loving face, hopeful eyes, and oh, so skinny body. Since he seemed to be a fighter, determined to be happy and stay alive, we …

I wanted to write and let you know that Freckles (#1424, adopted in September of 2012) has passed on. He had been under medical care for a heart problem for the last few years, and recently his kidneys and liver were showing signs of trouble. Recently he started having a lot of trouble just getting up and maintaining control of his balance, and today (Monday) he seemed just ready to go, and so he did. He died peacefully at home.

I’m so very grateful to …

Better hurry on down to meet Aurora, because this girl is going to get adopted in a second! With her beautiful eyes, gorgeous coat and amazing personality, we have no idea how she hasn’t found her forever home yet. Aurora is the definition of a gentle giant. She’s always super friendly with people and with every dog she meets, big or small. Aurora has some great cuddling skills, but also likes to take her daily walks around the block with her favorite person. Aurora is simply pure …

Warning: cuteness overload!! Twinkle Toes is our newest fluffball of love and she can’t wait to meet you! This friendly girl loves meeting new people and other dogs. She makes friends wherever she goes! Can you believe this precious, darling dog was once a stray with no home to call her own? Good thing she’s now at Muttville, where we’re sure she’s going to be adopted in a heartbeat! This sweetheart is simply pure …
