Puppy Needing Treatment Left Behind At Shelter Gets Saved

Why would a cute adorable little fluffy puppy be left behind in the shelter by the public and other rescue groups? Because he had a hernia that costs between $200 - $1,000 to repair and even the best intentioned groups are pulling lint out of their pockets. Little Stewie was pulled out of the shelter on his very last day by MuttShack. Not that we had more than lint ourselves - we just had an idea. Continue reading

A New Year With New Hopes And Dog Adoptions In 2015

With the closing of 2014, we are very happy to announce that the total dogs adopted this past year was 391 with a total of 1292 dogs adopted in past couple years since our dog adoption events at Petco. We want to double these numbers this year in 2015! But we can't achieve this alone! MuttShack will need the continued and growing support of dog fosters who can care of the dogs between our weekly adoption events (every Sat. & Sun at Petco in Burbank), the help of our dog adoption event volunteers, and your continued support in donations to help sustain our dog rescue efforts.

Your support is urgently needed by December 31st!

To care for every dog who comes to us, our goal is to raise $3,000 by December 31st to help rebuild our outdoor kennels for these dogs. Continue reading

How Fostering A Dog Makes A Difference

You might think that The MuttShack Animal Rescue's job is done after rescuing a homeless dog from a lonely, caged and frightening animal shelter environment. But that's where our job begins. Because ultimately our goal is finding new homes for these dogs, not just getting them out of shelters. We promote "Save A Life. Foster A dog" as part of our fostering campaign because we need to get people to foster the rescued shelter dogs once we get them out of shelters. Continue reading
