The tragic truth is that every day, dogs in good health with wonderful personalities are euthanized. Why? They're older. And because they're older, they're not considered adoptable.
Shelter workers see it every day: a dog is brought in because he can't jog with his guardian anymore. Or he needs a little time to get up the stairs. Or he's simply not a puppy.
We reach out to senior and special needs rescue dogs; find suitable homes for those dogs that are adoptable; and offer end of life care for those that are not. These are not just shelter dogs; every day, dogs are moved from loving homes to concrete cages because their guardians have died or moved or simply can't care for them anymore.
If we had our way, no dog would spend its last days in a cold, dark shelter. There is so much love and joy in these dogs! Bringing

Through associations with shelters and other animal organizations, Muttville finds senior dogs that have been given up and are not likely to find adopted homes. Through outreach and networking, Muttville finds suitable new homes for these dogs. Muttville has its own cage-free facility, housing newly rescued senior dogs while they await to be matched with foster homes.

Daily to contact shelter, rescue groups, through social media and many other channels to find these dogs in need. On an average we receive over 500 request monthly to help with these special dogs to find them homes.
Since its inception in 2007, Muttville has enjoyed tremendous success, finding homes for hundreds of mutts and helping change the way the world thinks of senior dogs. In the process, we've won awards and accolades from everybody from Oprah, the Red Cross and our founder has been named a CNN Hero for 2016.
Our work never stops. If we had our way, no dog would spend its last days in a cold, dark shelter. There is so much love and joy in these dogs! Bringing these special dogs into a home is not only good for the dogs, but such loving, mellow dogs transform the quality of life for the people who adopt or foster them.
We have just celebrated our 5,000th adoption in 10-years and our social media has reached over 400,000 followers.
Other rescue groups and shelters are reaching out to us to provide education on how to help these wonderful dogs.
There are so many stories of dogs that have been in loving homes and have lost their guardians, or dogs who have been neglected most of their lives and are now given a death sentence at a shelter. They deserve to know love before they go – even for a little while. This is our chance to show them kindness.
We simply need more room to help more dogs find love and our chance to show them kindness.
The space that we are currently in now we have sadly outgrown and we are in the process of finding our new "Forever Home". We want to bring the love, kindness, and compassion to as many senior dogs as we can
