What we do
The mission of Muttville is to find loving homes for wonderful senior dogs.
Why seniors? Because senior dogs- are loving and mellow
- learn quickly
- adapt easily
- and much, much more
But when a dog reaches the age of eight, its chances of being adopted drop precipitously. No matter the advantages, people are more likely to adopt puppies.
That’s where you come in. Foster a dog from Muttville. Bring joy to your life and to a wonderful older dog.
Thanks to our friends

Lingo
This is a courtesy posting. Meet Lingo, a purebred Lhasa Apso who's looking for his forever home. His full name is Lingo Everglo O’Robbies and he's 14 years old. Lingo is a very loyal fellow who loves to play ball and be with his owner. He loves to go for walks and is smart enough to know the word walk (so you might want to spell it when talking in front of him). He's also house and crate trained. Lingo also is a devoted guard dog; he does not bark unless someone comes to the door. Lingo would be great with a older person who is okay on their feet and can spend lots of time with him. If you're interested in darling little Lingo, please contact Marta Wolfe anydogrescue@yahoo.com
Rosanna Dana
Rosie is a special girl, has her unique funny ways about her. She's part comedian, talks instead of barking. Rosie is living with 5 other dogs and loves to take daily short walks with them. Other times she will hang out in backyard, sunbathing and relaxing, she's not a high energy girl, more laid back. She is crate trained and loves to take naps in her crate during the day. Rosie requires her new owners to have small dog experience and an adult only household. Rosie had knee surgery for a loose knee, people loved her so much they donated money for her surgery and now she is fine and can run like the wind. If you'd like to learn more about Rosie, please contact Patty, her foster mom at Pattyf2000@aol.com or 510-390-4031
Moses
Sweet and quiet, Moses is a love, very easy, he doesn't ask for much-just love. He is good with cats, too! He is 10+ years old, walks well on leash. He is a lovely lap warmer. His coat is the softest downy coat and he looks like a puppy. He would do best in a calm environment with gentle people around him! he was picked up as a stray and we want to make sure he gets a nice forever home where he will want for nothing, he is worth it!
Smokey Joe
This old guy has some pep to his step, his family gave him up cuz they wanted a puppy. He is quite the lover, weighs 42 pounds and likes other dogs, too! He is a sweet older guy but he still enjoys dog pars and cuddling up for some movies with his humans! We think he is about 9 years old and has plenty of lovin left to give!
Starra
Starra was dumped in night box, left alone, she was very frightened at first but now can't wait to find an adult forever home. Starra, middle aged tiny chihuahua, about 6 pounds, very sweet and good with other small dogs. . She had a nice bath, feels so much better and is looking like a million dollars. If you can give Starra a forever home, she will make your life so happy. She is great with other dogs and will be your lap or bed warmer, she is an easy keeper!
Sasha
Sasha, a super sweet miniature Poodle mix, was found wandering the mean streets in the central valley and is happy to be safe and warm in Muttville. This 9 year old cutie can be a bit shy, but once she warms up she's happy to keep your lap warm and receive gentle petting. She'll do best in a mellow household. She wold like to be the queen of her castle in an adult only household! One look into her big, sad brown eyes and you'll bemaking room for her in your home and heart.
Duke
This is a courtesy posting for the Healdsburg Animal Shelter. For the last 4 months, we have had an 8yo male German Shepherd Doberman Mix named Duke at the shelter who is the apple of my eye and the most loveable dog I have ever met. He was surrendered by his owners after their house forclosure with his best friend, a female shepherd doberman mix named Daisy. She was quickly adopted as she was only 5 years old, and he has been lonely and somewhat depressed ever since. We found out that he has spine arthritis, which we treat with Rimadyl 2 x day (which he happily accepts as a treat) and it seems to be helping him tremendously. He does not realize he is 8 years old, or that he has arthritis, so everyday our routine consists of playing hide-n-seek (he hides you seek, then you hide and he seeks) and then a game of chase (you chase him) which is his favorite. He is that classic family dog who lets you lay on top of him while you watch a movie, and his signature move is a big teeth baring smile when he sees you. His truly is an amazing animal. He would do great with older kids, female dogs, or cats. If you are interested in this wonderful dog, please contact Shay Robinson at the Healdsburg Animal Shelter, 707-431-3386 x 0
Girl
Who's that adorable, affectionate, happy go lucky girl? It's Girl, a 6 year old corgi/rottie mix! Girl is a versatile gal: she's athletic and up for adventure but she's also happy to be lounging about on the couch with you while you watch TV. She's also good with both cats and dogs. Talk about versatile! Girl is about 22 pounds and housetrained. Do you have room in your heart & home for this funny, smart Girl?
