Hope Needs a Foster or Adopter by August 15 to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin

Hope is currently in a high-intake kill shelter in Georgia and needs a foster or adopter to secure her spot on Mutt Life Dog Rescue's transport to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on Saturday, August 15. A committed home is required for her to make the trip, and we're hoping the perfect family is waiting for her.

Meet Hope

Hope is a 3-month-old Lab/Aussie mix (breed is our best guess!) who is ready to find a family of her own. Hope and her sister, Faith, were found as strays and are now looking forward to the next chapter of their lives.

Hope is a sweet, happy puppy who loves to be part of the action. She enjoys meeting new people, playing with other dogs, and exploring the world around her. She has the fun-loving personality of a puppy and the eager-to-learn attitude that makes Lab and Aussie mixes such amazing companions.

Like any young puppy, Hope is still learning all the important life skills and will need a family willing to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash manners, and confidence-building as she grows.

Age: 3 months
Gender: Female
Weight: 15 pounds
Breed: Black Lab/Retriever Mix (best guess)
Spayed: Not yet
Potty Trained: Not yet
Crate Trained: Not yet
Leash Manners: Not yet
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Likely yes (with proper introductions)
Good with Kids: Yes

Faith is ready to trade her stray pup days for a life filled with adventures, toys, and a family to call her own. If you can foster or adopt Faith, please apply today.

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!
