This month’s MUTTS Manifesto is “To bring smiles to everyone every day.” And nothing makes us smile more than pictures of cute rescue animals and happily-ever-after adoption stories! Don’t you agree?
1. From Catherine Bui & Jonathan Guzzo in Montreal, Canada:
“Buster is a tiny beagle with a large battery. He loves to sniff, scrounge, and pounce on his older brother Ace when he is lying in bed minding his own business. Buster was rescued from the Ottawa Humane Society in February 2014.”
2. From Priya and Reshma in Bangalore, India:
“A leopardess in spirit, Heidi is now 8 months old. She loves giving kisses, climbing heights, staring at pigeons, and pulling her brother Shiro’s ears.”
3. From Lauren McLaughlin in Princeton, New Jersey:
“Carl Maynard is a year-and-a-half-old scruffy terrier mixed mutt. He loves playing with bigger dogs, chasing leaves, and his stuffed cheeseburger. He’s a bed hog, a nose biter, and sometime’s a bit of a jerk. But we wouldn’t change him for anything. He’s family.”
4. From Jessica Behre in Green Village, New Jersey:
“Rosco is a two-year-old blue heeler/terrier mix. He was born deaf but has made a lot of progress over the last year in learning signs. He loves tennis balls, going on walks, and playing tug-of-war.”
5. From Jennifer in Albuquerque, New Mexico:
“We brought Star home at the age of 10 because she was a small senior who needed a home. She’s been with us a little over a year and rules our other three, much larger dogs with just a glare. She loves to cuddle and grunts when she’s happy … so basically all the time.”
6. From Jennifer Jones in Denver, Colorado:
“Riley is a sassy, nine-year-old mama’s boy. He loves catnip mice, warm fleece blankets, and anything going on in the kitchen.”
7. From Mary and Jon Schultz in Waterford, New York:
“Don is an outgoing kitty who loves keeping tabs on his three canine companions and his humans. He loves routinely patrolling the basement, laying on the laptop, protecting us from any indoor bugs, attacking feet under covers at night, and being ‘snuggle kitty’ in the morning, effectively squelching any desire to get out of bed.”
8. From Jessica Gilroy in Northern New Jersey:
“General Sambok, now two years old, is a beautiful and sweet Jindo mix. He loves his daily belly rubs and long walks on the Appalachian trail. General Sambok loves to eat broccoli for dinner just like his new mommy. I named him General (Sambok) because it means ‘survivor’ in Korean.”
9. From Laurel Decker in Northeast Ohio:
“Oso is a nine-year-old blind shih tzu who flew across the country to join a furever family. Oso’s likes to eat and sleep, and snores like a freight train!”
10. From Omar Vasquez in New Braunfels, Texas:
“Fatima is now six years old. She is a blue heeler/corgi mix. She has an adventurous spirit. She loves to swim in the Comal River and go for long hikes around the hill country, and she can play fetch 24/7 rain or shine.”
11. From Frances Wychorski in West Brookfield, Massachusetts:
“Sweetie Pi is a feisty calico. She can make a big scene at any time. Yes, she is a touch-me-not type of cat.”
12. From Christine Rosenburg in Kerhonkson, New York:
“Shelby is a prime example of why people fall in love with dogs. She is loyal, devoted, and loving. She is the perfect hiking, travel, and all-around companion. She helps me experience life more fully, and she has my heart.”
13. From Roxane Fritz in Monterey, California:
14. From Renee P.:
“Lola is our 13-year-old ambassador of love. Without our chance meeting in the street that fateful morning, our hearts would not be so full. She loves the sunshine, stolen pizza, and sometimes her little brother and sister.”
14. From Sharla Husley & Mike White in Sac City, Iowa:
“Mike brought Emmet home from a farm where he had done pest control service. It took a few weeks and a lot of vet visits, but he finally threw off the multiple illnesses he had. Even as sick as he was when he first got here, he was loving and saw every person and every cat he encountered as a potential new friend. He’s still that way, four years later. He does a little ‘happy dance’ when he’s getting petted.”
Many thanks to all the readers who took the time to send us their rescue pictures and stories! Although we couldn’t fit every submission into this post, we truly appreciate each person who contributed.
