My story

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

𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒕: CLEO

She arrived to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on Friday, January 10th and is doing amazing in her new foster home. She is now fully potty trained, crate trained, and walks great on the leash. Due to her hard upbringing, she can be a bit shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people. But once she knows you, she is very loyal and affectionate. She is more fond of women than men until she is familiar.

she has not always had it easy. She was brought to the kill shelter in Georgia as part of a neglect seizure case where her and the other dogs living there were chained up outside with logging chains. She was severely neglected and did not know kindness from humans, but has come a long way! Despite it all, she is a super sweet and friendly girl.

Thank you for considering adopting from Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin. We are a foster-based rescue in South Eastern Wisconsin. We partner with several high-kill shelters in rural Georgia to support dogs in desperate need of help. Our mission is to give these animals a second chance at life and the loving families they deserve. By rescuing them from shelters, we not only save their lives but also open up space for other animals in need, helping to reduce the heartbreaking number of pets that face euthanasia. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and offer them hope for a brighter future.

All dogs come with a certified vet inspection, up-to-date vaccines, flea/tick, and heart-worm preventatives. We cover partial reimbursement for spay/neuter costs if they have not already been fixed.

To apply to adopt, please fill out an adoption application on our website at (www.muttlife.org) and review the adoption requirements to ensure you meet the necessary criteria to apply!
Here is a summary of our adoption process:
1. Apply: Fill out the adoption application on our website completely and submit all necessary documents.
2. Application processing: we do a thorough background check, landlord approval (if applicable) or home ownership verification, vet check, and review your application. This process can take up to 5 business days.
3. Please authorize your vet to release medical information with Mutt Life. ​
4. Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
5. ​Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.
6. Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
7. Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
8. Neuter/spay for puppies: if dogs are adopted before 6 months of age and are not neutered/spayed yet, we will work with you to coordinate an appointment with one of our veterinary clinic partners or you can go through your vet and we will give you a partial adoption fee reimbursement.
