Story
Ryder was found as a stray in rural Georgia and ended up at a high-kill shelter. He was brought up to Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin on 10/26. He was an overall fan favorite at the shelter with his silly and playful personality. He is currently in Brown Deer, Wisconsin settling into his foster home. The best way to describe this boy: he is a silly puppy in a big dog's body! With that being said, he needs a little training to help with the puppy behaviors such as nibbling on foster siblings when they don't want to play anymore, he is getting better about jumping, not pulling on the leash, and other puppy behaviors. Everything about him is just innocent puppy tendencies and we are sure he will do amazing over time with a little training and consistency. He spent the majority of the first part of his life in a shelter so he never really got the chance to learn those things or have anyone to teach him. He seriously is a total sweetheart and does not have a mean bone in his body. He is friendly to everyone he meets! He gets along with his foster siblings great and loves to play with all the neighbor dogs and gives kisses 😘 His foster parents are starting to teach him tricks like sit and shake! 😊🐾 He is working on potty training and doing very well with only a few accidents in the house so far. He is working on walking on the leash and does well in the crate while his people are at work! He is not off-leash yet and needs time and training before he gets to that point. He has not met any cats yet. He would do best in a house with older children or no children just because he does not know his size and strength and may bump into them on accident. He would be great for someone with an active lifestyle and not for an apartment. f you are interested in adopting, please check out our website and fill out an application: www.muttlife.org We are located out of Cedarburg, Wisconsin and adopt out dogs throughout Wisconsin and surrounding states. Adoption fees for all dogs are $500. Please check out our website for more on our adoption process, to apply to foster or volunteer!

Story
Adoptable 💙Peaches💙 is looking for her forever home! 🥰 Peaches was found as a stray in Georgia and soon found herself at the local animal shelter. She just made the trip up to Wisconsin on 10/26 and is doing really well in her foster home! 🐾 She is a silly, playful pup who loves other dogs and her people. She gets along with all the dogs she has met and does a good job matching energy to older dogs or younger puppies. She enjoys running around the yard, playing with toys, and going for walks with her foster family. She did great trick-or-treating with her foster family and was amazing with all the kids and commotion. She also gets along with cats. She is crate trained, working on potty training, good on the leash, and working on off-leash recall. She is not reactive over toys, treats, food, etc. She is an overall good girly who would be great for someone looking for a medium energy dog! She is also quite petite for a terrier mix and is only around 30 lbs at 7 months old. If you are interested in adopting, please check out our website and fill out an application: www.muttlife.org

Story
Adoptable 💙FLYNN💙 is looking for his forever home! 🥰 FLYNN was surrendered from his previous owner to the local animal shelter in rural Georgia. He just made the trip up to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on 11/16 and is doing well in his foster home! 🐾 He is such a sweet boy who loves to follow you around the house supervising chores, hanging out on the couch watching TV, or going for a walk in the neighborhood. He walks well on a leash, is potty trained, crate trained, and gets along with everyone in his foster home including dogs (even small pups), people, and cats! He does so well playing with all the other dogs and is gentle with the littles. He respects the boss cat in the house and does not acknowledge when the cat is trying to mess with him. He does not jump and has nice mellow energy in the house. Flynn was likely abused before he got to the shelter because he came completely terrified of people, especially men. They worked really hard with him to be more comfortable around people and he has come sooo far! He still gets a little nervous around some men or if there is arguing/yelling. He does not do anything aggressive whatsoever but is just afraid. He seriously is the sweetest boy and it is awesome to see him coming out of his shell more and more every day. He is a big boy so would not be ideal for an apartment dog.

Story
Major is a purebred German Sheperd. He is house broken. He knows all of his basic commands. He is good with other animals, even cats. Major is available because my father in law got sick and passed away recently. We are unable to keep him. If you have some room in your heart and some room for him to run around maybe Major is the dog for you. I have seen that Major has gotten many views but no applications yet. Make Major your new best friend in the new year and be amazed how much joy he can give!
