My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bear had been running as loose dog for close to a year despite having a home. They couldn’t contain him, and he kept escaping. Bear was found by Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs with infected punctures on his face and legs from a dog fight. He was taken to the vet and his owners decided to relinquish his care to help him find his fresh start.

Slowly but surely, Bear is getting used to his new digs. He enjoys interacting with all the volunteers and his personality is really shining through. He’s a very sweet dog, he loves to be close to humans and LOVES pets.

Bear has done well with the other dogs in passing, although we haven’t had him in play groups because of his injuries. He did well with multiple other stray dogs while on the street.

We desperately want to find a home for Bear so he can live a long and happy life as an inside dog. Could you be Bear’s new start?

Their adoption process

Submit Application

If interested in any of our dogs, please submit an application of the dog you are interested in.

2.

Interview

We will reach out via a text to set up a mutually agreeable time to chat about what you are looking for and your lifestyle.

3.

Meet the Pet

We are hopeful you will connect instantly with one of our Sketchy Mutts, you might even have an opportunity to meet us out and about.

Additional adoption info

If we all agree that a current Sketchy Mutt might be a good fit, we will bring him to your home and introduce him to your dogs, cats, and human family members. If all goes well and everyone (including your animals) is in agreement, you will start a one-week (minimum) trial adoption. We want you to live day in, day out with the dog to see what it would really be like to bring him into your family. If at any point during the trial adoption you decide its not a good match, the dog goes back to his foster home.

We are dedicated to saving the lives of dogs who are at high risk of euthanasia in area shelters, due to behavioral issues, medical conditions, or overcrowding.
