We adopted Bowie (formerly Navy) a 6-year old purebred Golden Retriever, from Motley Mutts in July 2023. He had been surrendered due to the death of his owner, who had raised him from a puppy. Motley Mutts knew that he was a special dog in unfortunate/unfamiliar circumstances, and took all the necessary steps to ensure his next family could help him transition successfully to a new life. The adoption process was thorough and well executed. It was very obvious that they care about their placements and do a great job of vetting potential adopters to ensure safe, loving, forever homes for their pups. His foster mom was so happy to see him find a new loving home, even though it meant she was letting him go. As with any responsible rescue organization, Motley Mutts makes sure all the pups are healthy, neutered, socialized, and up to date on all shots and medical care. The pups are even microchipped at time of adoption so if they ever get lost, they can be identified. I had a great experience with Motley Mutts and definitely recommend them to others. read more

My dog, Jane, became a part of my forever family on my birthday in 2020. She has helped me get through so many difficult times over the years and I'm thankful that Motley Mutts rescued her and placed her with me as her caretaker. I love her and she brings me joy and comfort in this crazy world. My experience working with Motley Mutts has been nothing but positive and I believe they are in it for the love and well being of the dogs in their care. Their vetting process for prospective homes is fair and reasonable. They have a duty to the dogs FIRST! They are more than willing to work with applicants to help their dogs get placed in loving homes where they will get the care they need to thrive. When the time comes to add another wonderful dog to my family I will be returning to Motley Mutts for sure! Thank you for all you do!!!! read more

Here's my Sasha! She's a tripod husky. She was about 2.5 years old when we brought her home from Motley Mutts the day before Halloween. I was able to make an appointment to meet her during an open house. My young kids and our other dog came to meet her. Love at first sight! We happened to be there on a very busy adoption night. We had a long wait to sign papers but I was happy to wait while watching all the other dogs go to their forever homes! The staff were amazing every step of the way! I witnessed multiple other interactions with potential adopters, everyone was kind and helpful. After adoption, I was given access to a private Facebook group to connect with the foster who took care of Sasha after her surgery. I learned useful and hilarious information about Sasha that made her transition to our home easier. read more

I have been fostering for Motley Mutts for several years now and I have never met more caring people than the Motley Mutts crew. Anytime I need anything as far as the foster pups go, all I have to do is ask and it is sent to me. anytime I ask hey, can I foster this pup, or this litter, or this dog and he/she come to your rescue; they always say yes. One of the best things about Motley is they go above and beyond to get the pups that come to them the best home possible . They make sure the pups and the human are good matches for each other. I love that they have an adopter's page on Social Media so that the foster can see the baby grow and know all about what is going on with the baby that was saved. They are an amazing group of ladies that do a magnificent job with fur loves! Kudos to Morley Mutts read more

We met our amazing dog at a meet-and-greet event hosted by Motley Mutts Rescue at Woofmeow, and it was love at first sight! The team at Motley Mutts went above and beyond to make the adoption process seamless for us. We had a vacation planned shortly after meeting him, but they worked with us while we were out of state to ensure everything was set up so we could adopt him as soon as we returned. Their dedication and care for both the animals and the adopters are truly remarkable. It's clear how much effort they put into finding the perfect match and supporting each step of the journey. We're so grateful to Motley Mutts Rescue for helping us bring this incredible dog into our lives. If you're considering adopting, we can't recommend them enough! read more

This is by far the best rescue I have ever dealt with. They truly care about their dogs, and it shows. Not to mention, they want to make sure you get the right dog for your family. Melissa, founder of the rescue, knew I lost two dogs in one year. I told her I was thinking about not a puppy, not a senior dog, but somewhat of a young dog. and although she was absolutely going to accommodate me, she had one of her fosters bring over another dog a little bit older because she knew this dog that was meant for me. And I ended up getting her. I named her Luna and she's one of the best dogs I've ever had! I would highly recommend this rescue to anyone looking to adopt a beautiful soul!! read more

We had a great experience with Motley Mutts Rescue in September of 2021 when we adopted our beloved Ashley Elizabeth. The rescue was super responsive and communication was timely. When I reached out expressing interest, they got back to me almost immediately, did their due dilligence in checking with our vet and 2 personal references and then made arrangements for us to pick up our girl within a matter of days. They were accomodating and worked with us to choose a day and time for pick up as we were coming from out of state. Adopting from them was a great experience. They were very professional and competent. read more

We adopted our youngest just shy of a year ago and Ivy has been a Godsent and the staff was so great to us with the fostering to adopt. At first we were so concern about the two getting along but the staff was great with checking in daily and really making sure that both pups were warming up to each other and not having any aggression towards each other. I met with one of the owners Melissa when I did my meet and greet with my first dog Teddy and Ivy to make sure they would get along. I would HIGHLY Recommend this adoption agency to anyone who is looking to adopt a puppy or multiple dogs as well! read more

When we were looking for a second dog, we had to make sure our first dog would also approve. We saw this dog (about 5yrs old) when we met her my husband son and I fell in love! But then came the big test, our other dog. We were able to bring her to the interview, she got to meet Jess, and she to approve of her. It's been 2 years now, and we are one big happy family. I loved how they were willing to make sure our dog would like her too. The application process felt like it took forever, but in the long run, I felt that they look out for the dogs in every way they can. read more

I am so appreciative of this group. They have saved so many pups. I personally have fostered several pups for them here in Mississippi, and have had only the best experience with them. They have been amazing at placing, caring, and finding perfect forever families for the pups. This wonderful group has always given me pictures and updates on all my foster pups. To say they have gone above and beyond to protect and nurture the pups and adopters would be an understatement. Personal I would give them 10 STARS.... Thank you for you love of animals and your amazing wok read more

We attended an open house to meet some dogs I saw on thee website. It was wonderful to I tract with all the dogs. My daughter fell in love with a puppy, so we started the application process. By the time we were approved, that puppy was adopted, but the staff informed me of other puppies in the litter and the next day, we brought one of those puppies home. They equipped us with a collar and some food to allow for a smooth transition. The facility was clean, the staff was friendly, and the entire experience was amazing. ​​ read more

I couldn't be happier with the experience I've had with Motely Mutts! I worked with them to adopt a senior dog who had been looked over for adoption for to long. Despite the urgency to get this guy in his forever home, they fully vetted me to be sure my home was right for him and that he was right for us. They also checked references to be certain he was coming to a safe and loving home. They even waived his adoption fee to make sure money wasn't a barrier. I'm grateful everyday that Archie came to my family. read more

We adopted our "pup" Rosco from Motley Mutts. Our experience with the staff was great. We went on two occasions, one for an open house and a second time to meet (and take home) our boy. Both times, we found the ladies we worked with professional and caring. They want to put the dogs into homes of good families. We would adopt from them again and would recommend others to visit. We found Motley Mutts through another friend who recommended them to us. They adopted their pup at Mutts too. read more

Nothing shy of an amazing experience with Motley Mutts from the volunteers to the fosters. We adopted Loki 3 years ago and then a cat last year from a sister shelter and have been so fortunate overall. They hold adoption events on the regular and do everything they can to socialize and train before adoption so they can be as honest as they can and find the right home for each of their rescues. We donate whenever we see them and are happy to help them continue their mission. read more

I was not even looking for a dog when a friend of mine who volunteers at Motley Mutts posted Kevin. I instantly fell in love and began the process of adopting. It was a thorough yet simple process that brought me the puppy love of my life. He is healthy and well taken care of, I still, a year later, communicate with all his foster families on social media, and feel like i have the support of the entire Motley family behind me. Thank you so much Motley Mutts! read more

We have adopted 3 dogs from Motley Mutts. Once you fill out the application the process is very easy. One of my favorite things is they take in dogs of all ages, not just puppies. Both the employees (they are only a few or the rescue wouldn't survive) and the volunteers (there are many and that says something) are wonderful! It's like a Motley family. The dogs are loved and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend joining the family. read more

We rescued our beautiful black lab Abby from Motley Mutts. The process for adoption was a piece of cake. We filed our application, received a quick response and soon we were visiting our new family member. Abby, FKA Tabitha, was so excited to meet us. She was well groomed, up to date on all immunizations and ready to go. Abby is the second dog my family has adopted through Motley Mutts and we highly recommend you do the same. read more

We adopted our dog Josie from Motley Mutts. They let me come meet her, filled me in on her background as much as they knew. She was picked up stray in Mississippi with her sister at about 10 months. She was transported North to her Motley foster. She fit in immediately with our other dogs and she learned our routine quickly. She had been spayed and vaccinated and was well worth the reasonable fee. We love her. read more

we rescued our sweet pup at one of their open houses. they let us take our time with all the dogs until we found our perfect match. we were there for a few hours. they were so happy to see us leave with our sweet dog. I love that they have an adopters page too to give updates on pups that came from there! they were wonderful to work with. We've recommended them to quite a few people looking to rescue! read more
