My name is Velma!

Our adoption fee varies and includes spay/neuter, rabies, distemper, heart worm test, deworm medication and microchip.
All potential adopters must submit an application. We will check your veterinarian reference, a few personal references and will do a home visit prior to adoption. We also like to keep in touch with our adopters and receive updates and provide advice as needed with questions etc.

We do NOT have a brick and mortar shelter. Our dogs are in a home environment awaiting adoption and all meet and greets will be scheduled after an application has been received.

We frequently do adoption events in our local area and you can often find us at Torrington Petco, Waterbury PetSmart, Winsted Tractor Supply and Winsted Feed Store, showing off our gorgeous dogs! Check out our Facebook page for upcoming adoption events.

Formerly Meade Canine Rescue New England, Muddy Moose Mutts became a new independent rescue in April 2017. In 2022, Muddy Moose Mutts saved over 150 dogs, many of which were on lists to be euthanized at the kill shelters they were in. Many came from local pounds as strays. Many were saved from Texas ahead of the hurricane. Many were abused, neglected, and malnourished. Many were owner surrenders where the owners had died or lost their home. All were in search of a new loving forever home. And that is where Muddy Moose Mutts stepped in.

Each day, taking in a new dog with unknown issues, can lead to a drastic increase in our expenses. We do not discriminate against the dogs we rescue. We take in the young and the old, the healthy and the sick, and the unfriendly and the adorable. We are there for the dogs in need. We have treated dogs in need of surgery for bladder or kidney stones and mammary tumors, Cushing's disease, cancer, provided life-saving heartworm treatment, provided dental work for dogs with rotting teeth, provided long term hospice care, and worked with dogs in desperate need of human interaction and guidance. Most importantly, we provided these dogs with a loving and caring home environment while they waited for their forever homes.

Please consider supporting our mission by checking out our adoptable dogs for your new best friend. If you are un-able to adopt, please consider a donation to help us help these deserving dogs. You can learn more about the rescue at https://sites.google.com/view/muddymoosemutts/home
