Addie Needs a Foster or Adopter by July 11 to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin

Addie is currently at a high-intake shelter in Georgia and needs a foster or adopter to secure her spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on Saturday, July 11. Without a committed foster or adopter, Addie won't be able to make the trip to Wisconsin.
Meet Addie!

Addie is a 5-month-old Aussie mix with a heart as big as her fluffy ears! She was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of her own. This sweet girl is everything you could want in a young puppy—friendly, affectionate, playful, and always ready to make a new friend. Her tail is constantly wagging, and she greets everyone she meets with excitement and a happy smile.

Addie has a gentle, loving personality and is eager to soak up all the attention she can get. Like any typical puppy, she enjoys exploring, playing, and learning about the world around her. She'll thrive with a family that can continue her training, introduce her to new adventures, and give her plenty of love as she grows.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with lots of puppy charm and a lifetime of love to give, Addie just might be the perfect match.

1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $125 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
