Resolve to Make a Difference in 2010

If you are trying to come up with that perfect New Year Resolution--here's one we can help you keep: resolve to save a life this year. When join our network of foster homes for adoptable animals, you join our team of dedicated volunteers saving lives of homeless dogs. All of Madison Mutts' rescue dogs are fostered by people like you in real homes, where they get a chance to show off their true personalities in a normal living environment. Most of our dogs are in foster care only a few weeks, so even if you don't foster all the time, you could save more than ten lives this year. How many of your friends can say that about their resolutions? Besides, what do you think is going to be more fun--turning down cake all year, or playing fetch at the dog park? So we say--forget the diet. This year, resolve to save a life. 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.
