One of our sweet mutts
Sparky 1660
Chihuahua/corgi mix | Male | Size: small (6-20 lbs)
Do not shed a tear for Sparky! He had some heavy hitters pulling for him. We got an email from an SF Animal Control Officer, “please help Sparky” that was all it took. Sparky was confiscated from a neglectful home. But let me tell you, this little guy is so resilient and has moved on! Sparky’s an older guy, your time with him may be limited but it will be rewarding! This little one has a heart of gold, he’s a slow walker and a lap lover. We think he is 12 years old and he weighs 12 pounds! He is fine riding in a car and OK on leash, likes other dogs and cozy beds! With good nutrition, he is doing so much better.

Success Story "Helen"
Our founder and Executive Director, Sherri Franklin, lost her own Muttville sweetheart, Helen, last week. Please join us in our tribute to a very special lady…
“I had to say goodbye to my beautiful big girl, Helen Belly. So so hard, but it was her time and her suffering is over. When I picked her up 3 years ago at Berkeley Animal Services, she had no hair and her skin was oozing. I fell in love and made it my goal to let her know that she was was loved. I remember how she liked to grab the leash and walk me and would jump in anyone’s car, especially if the person was sitting in the driver’s seat. I will miss curling up in her bed at night to read. I miss you, sweet Helen. I hope you are running free without pain and saying hello to some of your brothers and sisters that shared my house. Sail away, angel…"
