Scruffy Mutt Rescue

Dog rescue in New Orleans, LA

We are a small rescue based out of New Orleans. We specialize in scruffy, fluffy, wirey, terrier, schnauzer, poodle mix dogs. All of those Bengi and Windixie type dogs now have a rescue of their own. We take in homeless dogs and put them in foster homes until they find their forever home. We are always looking for more foster homes so if you have the space in your home and your heart please help us save more dogs.
