MUTTVILLE

Muttville’s mission is to change the way the world thinks about and treats older dogs and to create better lives for them through rescue, foster, adoption, hospice, education, and advocacy. Through saving lives, happy adoptions, volunteer opportunities, and educating the public, we enrich the community around us.

Through associations with shelters and other animal organizations, Muttville finds senior dogs that have been given up and are not likely to be adopted. We also serve as a resource for people desperate to re-home their seniors. Through outreach and networking, Muttville finds loving 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. We have also built a trailblazing in-house veterinary clinic to provide care for the dogs we rescue, and have an extensive network of volunteers and fosters.

Since its inception in 2007, Muttville has enjoyed tremendous success, finding homes for over 10,000 senior dogs and helping change the way the world thinks of senior dogs. In the process, we've won awards and accolades from a wide range of people and groups like Oprah and the Red Cross, and our founder was named a CNN Hero in 2016.

Our work never stops. If we had our way, no dog would spend their 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 need more room to help more dogs find love and our chance to show them kindness.

We have outgrown our current space so we are getting a new "Forever Home." Our large new campus at 750 Florida Street in San Francisco will be a permanent headquarters where we can help more dogs and touch more people. We hope to move in during 2023.
