Story
Jackson was adopted at two years old and was brought from down south. He's 7 years old, but still loves his walks. He loves cuddling and spending time with his family. We know he doesn't do well with male dogs, but does well with some females. He likes our two year old daughter, but is always cautious because of her age and behavior. The older the kids get, the more comfortable he is around him. He is a loving dog.

Story
𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒕: BROCK Brock is a sweet boy who found himself in a high-kill shelter through no fault of his own. He was found as a stray in rural Georgia and then was brought in by animal control. He and his sister Loretta are both super sweet, smart, and loving dogs. You can tell they previously had a home, and someone taught them basic commands. Brock was previously found as a stray in Georgia and was taken to the local shelter. He just recently made the trip up to Cedarburg, Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 1/10/25 and is living in a foster home in Green Bay. He is learning all about the house life and is working on all of the puppy stuff like potty training, crate training, walking on a leash, and commands. He is super friendly to everyone and gets along great with his foster dog siblings. He loves his humans and is very affectionate and lives for attention. He is a super sweet boy. —--------------------------- Thank you for considering adopting from Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin. We are a foster-based rescue in South Eastern Wisconsin.

Story
𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒕: SUGAR She is an awesome pup and does really well with other dogs and ADORES small children! She unfortunately found herself at a high kill shelter in Georgia through no fault of her own. Since coming to the shelter, she has shown how awesome of a pup she is and is a staff favorite, playgroup rockstar, and is even the chosen temperament testing dog for new intakes. She gets along with everyone she meets and does not know any strangers! She was found as a stray on the side of the road and was brought in to the animal control. She is the sweetest pup, always wagging when you walk by her kennel and gives you kisses if you pet her through the door. She LOVES kids, you can tell she had a family of her own at some point. She also gets along great with other dogs. She is okay with cats, but does like to try to play with them and sometimes forgets how strong she is. She is a lovely girl and would be great for a family dog or someone who wants a playful and energetic dog! She just made her way up to Cedarburg, Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin and is currently in a foster home learning how to live in a house! She is working on potty training, crate training, manners, and basic commands. She is a big, sweet, loving puppy who was never taught anything in her younger years so she is playing catch up. She just needs some time and consistency and will be an awesome dog for someone! —--------------------------- Thank you for considering adopting from Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin.

Story
❤𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒕: TANK ❤🐾 Tank was recently surrendered to our rescue and is now ready to start looking for his forever family! He was found frequently wandering his neighborhood and when confronted, the owners decided they just wanted to get rid of him. Now he is currently living in a foster home in Mequon, WI, and is doing amazing!🥰🙏 Tank is a beautiful 1.5-year-old Great Pyrenees and is such a sweet boy! He has an awesome disposition, typical of his breed, and is such a lover! He is getting along great with his foster siblings and the cats in the house! He doesn't pay the cats any attention. He is potty trained and is working on learning basic commands and walking on a leash. Tank was at our holiday meet-and-greet and did so well with all of the commotion and meeting all of the people and other dogs! Tank is a wanderer and therefore, needs to be adopted by someone with a fenced-in yard and no apartments for this big boy. 🐶 He is not fixed yet and is scheduled with HAWS in January 2025. This is why his price is higher since spay/neuter costs is based on the weight of the dog.
