Success Story "Maxwell", Muttville's 1000th rescued dog

Thu, 10 May 2012 18:14:00 GMT

It has been one year since Muttville celebrated rescuing its 1000th dog! His name was Maxwell, and he carried this title proudly!

What happened to Max? Read his success story, written by his mom, Chandreve:

About a year ago, our companion Mara passed away, leaving Abby without a pal. Abby is about nine years old and missed having a friend while we were at work. For about three months we fostered a younger dog, but we found that Abby was often frustrated with her boundless energy. We decided that ...

In Memory of Muttville Mascot, Dewey

Wed, 09 May 2012 17:26:00 GMT

On May 1st, Muttville lost a precious soul. Of course, every dog that comes through Muttville is special, but undeniably Dewey stood out amongst the crowd at the Muttville headquarters.

Dewey came to Muttville in early 2010. This poodle was about 12-14 years of age. He came from a home where he was subjected to domestic violence his entire life. After the abused spouse fled from the marriage, Dewey was left alone with the perpetrator, where he was mistreated & neglected for several ...

Success Story "Mr. Mouse"

Talk about a success story! Read about Mr. Mouse (a.k.a. Sprite) written by his loving parents, Danielle & Cooper:

In October 2007, my ornery yet beloved cat, Lucia "CheeChee", passed away. I was very sad and wasn’t sure I when I’d be emotionally ready to have another pet. Thankfully, Danielle is a Pomeranian-obsessive and had her own furry Pomeranian child, Frances, to help heal my heart. I was a die-hard cat person, but Danielle and Frances were quickly and persuasively ...

Little Prince William has had an amazing journey. He came to Muttville, one of the most neglected dogs we've ever met, but he was a strong little guy who always held his head up high. Read his blog story from June 2011.

His parents Rob and Kristi wrote this loving story of how they met their "Little Prince", a.k.a Willy.

Our Little Prince

Success Stories "Baby Ruth and Piano Man"

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:47:00 GMT

Foster mom Stephanie penned this sweet tale she titled
"One Tale of Two Tails and Six Names":

All was not well. After a cruel and neglectful life of puppy production, Mattie and Shelty were unceremoniously discarded at the shelter. Once their failing health limited their ability to turn a profit, it was not worthwhile to keep them around. And so it was that exactly one year ago they clung tightly to each other, terrified of the unknown. At their age and in their poor condition, ...

Success Story "Boo Boo"

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:58:00 GMT

Thank you to Muttville mom MaryAnn for sharing her love story:

My name is MaryAnn. I adopted a Pomeranian named Boo Boo (Muttville name Pixie ) on June 21, 2011 from Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.

I noticed Boo Boo when I was walking my dog Teri. It was just a coincidence that her foster mom lives close by me and was walking Boo Boo right across from my house. I didn't know during that time she was up for adoption. Boo Boo caught my attention right away because she reminded me of my last ...

Success Story "Detective Tinkerton"

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:26:00 GMT

Detective Tinkerton was a very special little fellow!

He was rescued by Muttville back in 2010. Janice Serilla and her husband Niall from Santa Cruz adopted him within months of Muttville taking him.

The Detective was abandoned in a vacant apartment in San Francisco and when found, was emaciated and covered in fleas. Who knows how long he was left alone. He was also pretty blind, somewhat deaf, had hardly any teeth, an old jaw injury from who knows what, a fistula (which was an abnormal ...
