Nolen Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Nolen is currently in a shelter and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure his spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. His transport date is still TBD, but we are hoping to bring him to Wisconsin if he has a committed home waiting for him.

Meet Nolen

Nolen is a young Retriever/Bull Terrier mix (best guess) who was born on November 28, 2025. His mom was a brown hunting dog and his dad is unknown, so we suspect Nolen is a mix of several different breeds. He has spent much of his young life growing up in the shelter and is more than ready for a family of his own.

Nolen is playful, friendly, well-socialized, and loves people. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys being around his canine friends. He also does wonderfully with children and would make a fantastic family dog. He has not been around cats, but can be tested if requested.

Nolen loves his brother Yappy and they get along wonderfully, but the two boys are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together. Nolen would be happy to find a home of his own where he can get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and all the experiences that come with being part of a family.

Age: About 9 months
Gender: Male
Weight: Approximately 40 pounds
Breed: Retriever/Bull Terrier mix (best guess)
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Potty Trained: Unsure
Crate Trained: Unsure
Leash Manners: Unsure
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Unsure
Good with Kids: Yes

Nolen is ready to keep moving forward and would love a foster or adoptive home to help make his journey to Wisconsin possible. He has already spent far too much of his young life in a shelter and deserves the chance to grow up in a loving home. If you’re able to foster or adopt Nolen, please apply today!

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!
