What a weekend! Kiehl's event, we were on TV! Adoptions galore!

Muttville had such a wonderful weekend.

Our volunteers had a blast at Kiehl’s on Saturday. Many people came to meet our dogs and we got some excellent donations there and a $500 check from Kiehl’s, too.

Then on Sunday we were in Walnut Creek and 6 dogs got adopted, including our wonderful duo, Keeva and Portia, Mimi, Jesse, Hootie and Oscar.

And we also rescued some new great dogs that were in danger of euthanasia – 2 chiweenies, a westie, 2 pomeranians, a shepherd mix and a teeny chihuahua.

This is what Muttville is all about, get these sweeties new homes and make some room for the newbies.

Happy Spring!

We won Bay Woof's "Beast of the Bay" award for Best Rescue and Best Canine Cause

Muttville is so honored to win these great awards. Check it out at Bay Woof.

We have been working so hard to save as many senior dogs as we can. Our great volunteers take care of the dogs and we have so many wonderful foster homes. The message is getting out, senior dogs make great companions and they need our help!! There is a huge need out there for our services right now.

Come to our adoption events this weekend: Saturday at Khiels in SF, Sunday at Pet Food Express in Walnut Creek.

And our blow out party at the Mix in SF on Monday, the grand finale of “Do or Die Mondays”, with The GoGos judging a fab drag contest benefiting Muttville!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

Wait… you mean I missed Valentine’s Day?

You’re right… I didn’t blog for you on Valentine’s Day. It was a crazy day for us! We were guests of honor at Amoeba Music – how cool is that! I had a brand new haircut and a slew of brand new dogs to match it. Check out these great pictures from the event – http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/performances/san-francisco/2010-february-14/pet-adoption-day/photos.html

Today we had a little adoption event at Petco in Colma and a dog that was adopted as a result of the Amoeba event, Barney, came by to visit by accident. What a treat!

And so, I’m feeling nostalgic. All this love we’ve had and are having… you all are a great bunch to participate in this with me. An ongoing love affair with these animals that we know won’t last as long as us – we are giving a gift to the world.

Thank you to those who have adopted, are adopting, and will adopt.

Here is Bella, a Muttville rescue, on Valentine’s Day.

Please post a picture of the dog you have loved, are loving, will love.

wow, 6 adoptions and 12 new dogs this week alone!

It’s hard to keep up with all the action, Muttville is getting requests right and left and all the dogs are so deserving! As word gets around, more and more requests for help come our way. We are so lucky to have great foster homes that are stepping up to take in all these wonderful dogs.
Just a sampling of some of our new arrivals, 3 poms, 2 poodles, a german shepherd mix, a bassett mix, a chi, a pekingnese, a boston terrier, a shitzhu, a maltese, and a couple of muttley mutts, of course! From Merced, SF, Oakland, Berkeley, Bakersfield, Antioch, Martinez and LA
Any open homes out there??

A new dog in the house.

A new dog in the house.

Do ya’ll know that I finally adopted one of my fosters? I went through about 11 foster dogs, each just as lovely as the last, until I found one that was truly meant to stay. My little Tuki.

The Tukster is a bit of a lone wolf. She tolerates other dogs but she lifts her lip at puppies and turns her head away from all other dogs.

We’ve had a few more fosters since Tuki became permanent. There is something about Tuki that makes dogs drawn to her.

I picked up a new foster last night from Sherri’s house – an overweight Cocker Spaniel who’s owner had a stroke and was no longer able to care for him. I brought the dog back to my apartment and he promptly conked out on top of Tuki. My poor little dog – what a hard life she has now!

What do you think this dog’s name is? I’ll be writing a blurb about him – he’s the fattest Cocker Spaniel I’ve ever seen.
