Senior DOGS have historically been the least likely to be adopted and the most likely to be euthanized. Muttville, one of the first senior DOG rescues in the country, rescues older DOGS from death ROW at shelters and other DIRE circumstances, finds them forever homes, and advocates for their welfare. Muttville has grown from rescuing 27 DOGS in 2007, our first year, to 1,217 DOGS in 2023. We have special programs to introduce our DOGS to children and to senior citizens, and we actively promote the JOYS of adopting senior DOGS. Muttville is currently building up a financial reserve for the construction of a headquarters facility.
