UPDATE: Foster Homes Needed Badly!

More foster homes are urgently needed. The downturn in the economy has led to more abandoned pets, and a recent puppy farm closure has led to a local overflow of animals. More dogs than ever need help right now! If you have thought about becoming a foster home for pets, now if the time to act. Join our team of devoted volunteers by opening up your home and heart to a dog in need.Click here to find out more about our foster program.

About Madison Mutts

Melissa Smith, Director

Madison Mutts is an all-breed dog rescue based in southern Wisconsin that supports animal rescue shelters throughout the upper Midwest. We take in dogs that, through no fault of their own, are sitting on "death row". We provide them a safe, nurturing home environment, any necessary medical care, emotional support and the training they need in order to find a new home.

After evaluation, the animals live in our homes until a match is made. The personal interaction provided by our foster homes, as well as exercise and evaluation with volunteers, vets and trainers, gives us the opportunity to know the unique personalities of each individual dog. This is a big advantage to adopters who want to provide a “forever home”.

We also help private owners to responsibly place their pets through listings on our website. Madison Mutts has an ongoing commitment to rescuing dogs and educating the community. We work to provide spay and neuter clinics as well as local awareness workshops. We are a non-profit organization and are thankful to all of our donators, volunteers and support staff, and most importantly, we are grateful to the people who visit this site and adopt our wonderful animals. You are the world to these dogs.
