We live in a world where different is considered disposable. Where those differences make a life somehow less valuable. Where people prefer to discard rather than putting in the work to help that life shine. We are all about second chances and the underdog will always be our champion!
Meet Cricket! Born from backyard breeders who didn’t have the slightest idea what they were doing she became stuck in her mother during birth. The breeders pulled her out damaging her little body with their actions. As Cricket grew it became apparent that she couldn’t walk normally. This made her impossible to sell and at 4 months old those same breeders posted her online with the threat if they couldn’t find someone to take her they’d dump her at the shelter. What a sad sad fate they were giving a tiny defenseless puppy just starting out her young life.
But Cricket got lucky. An independent rescuer saw her post and scooped her up. They then went to work finding her rescue placement where she’d get the therapy needed to improve her mobility. Cricket is now safe with us. She’ll get X-rays so we know what we’re working with and she’ll receive the medical and therapeutic treatment she needs. She’s the reason rescues are so needed and exactly who 2nd chances are made for.
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.
