About Us
Meet Our Organization
With shelters overcrowded, euthanasia is often the only solution the county has to control the population. Lost and abandoned dogs need all of us to save them from death. While we don’t take strays off of the street, we do offer resources for training, rehoming and networking.
COMMUNITY-WIDE FUNDRAISER
Heart of Rescue
At Marley’s Mutts, our mission has always been rooted in the belief that “Rescue Dogs Rescuing People” can transform lives on both ends of the leash. As we move forward, we are returning to the principles that built Marley’s Mutts by focusing on stabilization, stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
Marley’s Mutts is launching a critical fundraising campaign to secure $40,000 in immediate stabilization funding that will help protect the dogs in our care and strengthen the future of our mission. This campaign is about more than raising dollars, it’s about rebuilding a community united around the belief that rescue dogs truly rescue people.
WASCO STATE PRISON PROGRAM
Save Dogs and Transform Lives
The success of Pawsitive Change has always depended on community partnership and the belief that positive change is possible for every dog, every person, and every life touched by this work. Now, we are asking for your support to help us continue that mission. Help Bring Pawsitive Change Back to Wasco State Prison
By supporting Marley’s Mutts and the return of Pawsitive Change, you are helping save dogs from euthanasia while creating opportunities for healing, growth, and rehabilitation inside the prison system. Together, we can continue building a future where second chances are not just possible, they are transformative.
