𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐄 is available for adoption and is looking for his forever family!
Hi my name is 𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐄 👋
Life has not always been easy for me, but I am a happy and optimistic guy and feel like life is on the upswing for me. I was found as a stray wandering a dirt road by myself in rural Georgia and was brought to the local animal shelter. I was severely underweight and malnourished. The nice people at the shelter fed me and I saw their veterinarian and they got me on the right track to gaining weight and feeling better. I gained 5 lbs in a few days, but I became mentally shut down in the shelter and I was broken.
Since coming to Wisconsin and living in a foster home for a short time, I am a completely different dog than what I was in the shelter. I am happy, playful, and love affection, and of course treats!! Lots of boxer personality! Since I was starving for a part of my life, I was a little food aggressive at the shelter and for the first few days in my foster home, but have since gotten over it. I am fostered with 4 other dogs and 2 cats and have not had any issues with the food stuff. I am learning that I will always be fed and don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from.
I am getting the hang of the potty training thing, am great in the crate during the day and at night, I am almost off leash in the back yard. I know sit and am working on down and stay. I am working on my leash manners, but don't pull that much.
I have never had anyone put effort into training or caring for me before, so I am learning lots about how to behave. I don't jump, I am well behaved in the house, catching on to the potty training thing, and and am quiet in my crate at night and when I am home alone. I love playing with my foster dog siblings and am fine with the cats. Every day my foster parents are amazed at the dog I am becoming! All I needed was someone to care and put a little TLC into me and I will be the best dog for my people! I am a super sweet boy and am worth it!

Thank you for considering adopting from Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin. We are a foster-based rescue in South Eastern Wisconsin. We partner with several high-kill shelters in rural Georgia to support dogs in desperate need of help. Our mission is to give these animals a second chance at life and the loving families they deserve. By rescuing them from shelters, we not only save their lives but also open up space for other animals in need, helping to reduce the heartbreaking number of pets that face euthanasia. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and offer them hope for a brighter future.
All dogs come with a certified vet inspection, up-to-date vaccines, flea/tick, and heart-worm preventatives. We cover partial reimbursement for spay/neuter costs if they have not already been fixed.
