Old Fashioned Litter Needs Fosters or Adopters by 5/29 to Secure Their Ride to Wisconsin

The Old Fashioned litter is currently in a shelter in Georgia and need a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure their spots on the transport to Cedarburg with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 5/29. These pups are hoping to leave their difficult past behind and start their next chapter in loving Wisconsin homes.

Meet the Old Fashioned Litter

Olive, Brandy, Cherry, and Bitters are adorable 5–6-month-old Aussie/Jack Russell mix puppies (best guess). They came from a heartbreaking neglect situation in Georgia, but despite everything they’ve been through, they are sweet, resilient puppies who are ready for a better future.

Named after the classic Wisconsin supper club cocktail, this litter is full of personality and charm. They are playful, social, affectionate pups who love attention and enjoy spending time with people and each other. Whether they’re wrestling with their siblings, exploring outside, or curling up after playtime, these puppies are sure to steal hearts wherever they go.

At around 18 pounds each, they are a great medium size and will continue growing into wonderful family companions. Like most puppies their age, they are still learning the basics and will need families willing to continue working on training, socialization, and building confidence.

The lineup includes:
Olive – Female
Brandy – Female
Cherry – Female
Bitters – Male
These puppies are not yet fixed but will continue receiving veterinary care through rescue. They are available for foster or adoption starting 5/29.
