Story
𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒕: DAVEY
DAVEY is a super sweet and friendly little black lab puppy. He is smart and loves affection from his people. He is working on all the puppy stuff like crate training, walking on a leash, potty training, and learning commands. He is good with all dogs and kids and loves to play! He is a wiggly guy so it is hard to get a still photo of him lol. He is always trying to get kisses and wagging his whole body with his tail.
His brother was recently adopted and the adopters did a genetic test on him and he turned out to be about 53% pointer, 16% staffordshire terrier, 18% boxer, and 13% bulldog. He looks so much like a labrador mix so that was very surprising!
DAVEY was in a high-kill shelter in Georgia and caught a ride up to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on 1/10/25 with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. He is currently in a foster home and is living on a 100 acre farm. He is great off leash and is a good boy with all the farm animals, including chickens, cats, puppies, etc.
—---------------------------
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.
