Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Over a year ago, Rooster arrived at Mikaela's Mutt Motel from the local animal shelter in a truly heartbreaking state: emaciated and in horrible condition. Today, Rooster is a testament to the power of love and rehabilitation-he is now thriving, loving, and incredibly affectionate!

Because Rooster was starving when he first arrived at animal control, he did develop some resource-guarding behaviors. Understanding that a special dog needs special attention, we placed him on a training hold. We are thrilled to share that thanks to our amazing trainer at Twin Oaks Canine Camp, Rooster has drastically improved!

He has come such a long way, transforming from a scared, resource-driven dog into the wonderful companion he is now.

Rooster is a special boy who needs a special, understanding home. We are looking for an adopter or foster who can meet these specific needs:
* Respect his space and boundaries (especially around high-value items).
* Be someone who can also ensure that Rooster respects *their* space and boundaries in return. Consistency and clear communication are key!
* A home with no children. Due to his past behaviors and size, Rooster should not be around children at any point in time.

Rooster has proven to be quite social and has done well with both other dogs and cats after appropriate introductions. He has a loving heart and is ready to shower his special person with affection.

We know it will take an extra special person to welcome Rooster into their life, but we have to try for this amazing dog who has overcome so much. Could you be the special home that gives Rooster the forever love and respect he deserves?

If you are ready to open your heart and home to this incredible survivor, please contact us about fostering or adopting Rooster!

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.
