Sex: Male
Breed: Pitbull
Estimated Date of Birth : 05/02/2024
As adorable as he is determined this little pittie has a heart as big as his potential. He’s destined for greatness and has the right amount of drive to overcome all that life has thrown his way. Frog (Kermit) stole our hearts with his resilience and happy go lucky vibes and we know with continued rehab and just the right home this little boy will live up to his future greatness.
Kermit was rescued from the Kern County Animal Shelter. Found abandoned in Lamont, a very rural area of Kern County, Kermit was likely discarded by his breeder due to his inability to use his back limbs. He has swimmers syndrome. This causes his back legs to splay out so he can’t use them normally. The good news is with continued rehab most swimmers puppies improve significantly and regain use of the affected limbs. We are hopeful that this will be the case for Kermit.
Kermit is thriving in foster care and making lots of progress. With dedicated physical therapy, a wheelchair, and careful leg binding, his legs are improving every day. He’s scored a very experienced special needs foster who can provide round-the-clock care, ensuring he gets all the love and attention he needs. Kermit is working towards being adoption ready and you can apply to give this special pup a forever home filled with love and support!

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.
