May 10, 2011:
"Muttville Senior Dog Rescue Day"

It's official! In recognition of Muttville's dedication to saving senior dogs and in honor of Maxwell, our 1,000th rescue, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee proclaimed May 10, 2011 as "Muttville Senior Dog Rescue Day"! What an enormous honor!

We had a grand celebration on the steps and plaza of City Hall. Supervisor Scott Wiener and Muttville founder Sherri Franklin addressed the enthusiastic crowd of Muttville fans, both two- and four-legged. Thank you all for coming!
