The perfect short stack with the perfect Pittie smile meet the enchanting Missy Elliott! You can’t help but be drawn in by the softness of her spirit or the shortness of those legs. She’s adorableness all wrapped up with a big blocky head and a compact stocky body. We were instantly in love and you will be too. This sweet girl is incredible and so gentle and kind. She’s loved every human she’s ever met and always 1st in line for a snuggle or a pet. Missy E came to us with precious cargo. This sweet girl was very very pregnant. Shortly after arriving she gave birth and is now caring for her two sweet babies. 

Missy Elliott simply wants the love she’s never had. Found by a Good Samaritan wandering the streets no one claimed her and it was obvious this wasn’t her 1st pregnancy. She’d had many litters and our guess has only lived her life as a mom and possible income source. We don’t know why this pregnancy resulted in her abandonment but here she is and we’ve promised her this will be the last litter she ever has to raise. Missy E will complete her mothering duties and for the 1st time ever get to focus on what she needs. A home, a family, a couch, lots of snuggles and more love than she ever thought possible. 

Missy Elliott won’t be adoption ready for several months. We are currently keeping her and her babies comfortable, safe and supported. She will need time to raise her puppies and then time to recover from the stresses of pregnancy and motherhood. Sadly momma dogs always seem to linger long after their puppies find homes so we are hopeful that by posting this sweet girl early she just might find a family willing to see her value and wait the time she needs to be ready to go to a home. If that family is yours please apply now. Missy Elliott deserves to have adoption as the next and final part of her rescue journey.

Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley’s Mutts:

  • Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
  • Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
  • All pets will be spayed or neutered
  • All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
  • Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)

It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.

We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.

It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.

If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.

Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.

If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
