Fergus

Emergency Foster Needed!

Fergus is a small fella who some how made his way to the Brooklyn high kill shelter on 5/29/08. He is four years old and weighs in at 50 pounds. It is hard to believe he is 50 pounds because in person he looks so small.  The day I met him he was such a happy boy wagging his tail at all who approached him. He has beautiful fur that reminds me of some sort of Tiger. Fergus knows how to sit and give paw and only wants to please his person. Poor Fergus is not so happy any more as the shelter has only given him a day or two more at my request. I am looking for a foster or a permanent home for Fergus.

Johnny

Emergency Foster Needed!

Johnny is being held in a municipal shelter.  He, along with three others, were found in a terrible state.  Johnny's ears were torn and he was full of cuts and scars.  He was also severely malnourished, with bones showing in his ribs, shoulders and back.  Despite all of this, he shows very few ill effects from his horrible abuse.  He is still very timed, but is excellent with people and not agressive with other dogs. He is a male staffie mix, approxilmately 3 years old.  He presently weighs 36 lbs. and should weigh about 45 lbs. when fully recovered.  He would love a nice warm home and could even use a really great foster.

Brownie

Brownie is a 1 1/2 years old and only weighs 27 pounds. It is hard to understand how anyone could have left this sweet boy in a city high kill shelter but they did. He loves people and dogs alike. Brownie's time in foster care is up and his foster mom reports: Brownie is very alert (no one will be sneaking up on you!), very affectionate and very energetic but also has couch potato status. He loves to be close to his humans and he shares his toys (just adores stuffed toys!),  His favorite thing to do is jump in my lap and sit with me on my porch and watch the world go by. He walks well on a leash.  He is a little man with a big heart, a real trooper that adjusts to many situations without any hesitations.

Ginger

Hello there, my names Ginger and I was off on a three hour cruise (or longer) of Queens when the weather started getting rough.  If not for the courage of the fearless Mighty Mutts volunteers, I certainly would have been lost!  I'm still a bit shaken by my ordeal and can be a little shy, but once I get to know you, I'm really quite sweet.  I'm a very gentle and affectionate 2 and a half year old, 65 lb fenale staffie mix who bonds in no time flat.  Could you be the special person I bond with forever?

Woofie

Hi there, my name's Woofie.  I'm an 8 year old, 60 lb. Jindo mix who was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn, I was really skinny and malnourished at the time, but it was hard to tell because my fur was so overgrown and matted. To put it bluntly, I was a mess!  Fortunately, Mighty Mutts rescued me, cleaned me up, and took care of all of my other woes.  Now I'm a perfectly behaved lady of a certain age who loves nothing more but to play, snuggle and take nice relaxing walks.  I'd be a perfect friend for you if you'd give me a chance!

Carley

Hi there, I'm Carley and, even though I'm real pretty, I'm not vain at all.  However, this story is about me!  I was found wandering around the streets of Brooklyn with my pal Charlie, who's also up for adoption.

Sarah

Hello, I'm Sarah.  Far from being "Plain and Tall", I'm actually kind'a "Special and Short"! Iwas found wandering around looking for some grub in a trash heap.  Oh yeah, I was also just about to have a litter of puppies!  Mighty Mutts took me in and, I must say, the accomodations are much better!  I had my puppies, all safe and sound, and Mighty Mutts found homes for all of them!  Now I'm fully recovered, fit as a fiddle and ready for a home! I'm a two year old, 40 lb. female staffie mix who's very sweet, friendly and curious.  I'm so curious that I'm just dying to find out what it would be like to go home with you!

Sunshine

Hello,  My name is Sunshine, but I was found when the clouds were gray in April when I was only 6 months old.  Somebody left me in Prospect Park to fend for myself and I wasn't doing to good at it.  I was skinny and full of worms but still had my sunny disposition (even though someone had cropped my tail!).  Now I'm just a bundle of playful fun and I'm rarin' to go.  I'm a young, 50 lb. female Husky mix and I want to be your only Sunshine.  You'll never know, dear, how much I can love you, until you come and take your Sunshine away!

Willy

Hello,  my name is Willy.  I was rescued by a Mighty Mutts volunteer from a municipal shelter that was going to kill me because I took up too much room!  That it, nothing else!  I have a real friendly personality with people and animals and I'm perfectly healthy, but they just had too many of "those kind of dogs".  Could you imagine?  Anyway, I'm here now (whew!) and just waiting for you.  I'm a very gentle 18 month old male staffie mix and I weigh about 65 lbs.  I'm really just all around great, why not meeat me for yourself and find out?

Louise

Hello there, I'll aim to please and my name is Louise!  I'm an 11 year old, 60 lb. female staffie mix who's just lookin' for a place to settle down.  Nobody knws much about me, since I was pulled out of a municipal facility after I was found on the street, but I'm pretty sure that I had an "interesting" life.  Fortunately, all of that is behind me now!  I'm a very mellow gal who's still quite playful and also quite sure of herself, so I'll need a friend wiht plenty of experience.  I'm a little deaf but, as you can see, am otherwise in great shape!  Please take me home with you!

Fortunately, Mighty Mutts has a no questions asked return policy, so here I am, safe and sound, waiting for you!  I'm a female Staffie mix, about 50 lb.s and almost 2 years old.  I'm very well mannered and loving and can't wait to meet you!

Luna

Hi there, I'm Luna, I'm a 2 year old, 50 lb. Sheppherd mix who was abandoned by my family when they moved.  I don't know how they could have done that, I'm awfully sweet and obedient and, quite frankly, kind'a bummed out by the whole thing!  Some nice person found me and is paying to board me in a kennel until a great home comes along.  Don't get me wrong, I'm really grateful, but wold mch rather be bedding down with you than staying in a kennel.  Please help me out, you won't regret it!

Jerry Lee

Well they shook my nerves and rattled my brains, too much love could certainly drive a man insane.  I can sure attest to that!  My names Jerry Lee and for nearly 3 years I was used as breeding stock in the deep south (of Brooklyn).  Even though I had the good part of the job, after a while it certainly was taxing!    I was picked up off of the the street and neutered (goodness gracious!) and my former "friends" didn't want me anymore, so I'm sruck in a municipal shelter,  I have some time but I sure could use your help!  I'm a three year old, 65 lb. male staffie mix who's quite freindly and socialble.  Since I can't get my exercise the way I used to anymore, I'd love to go home with someone who is athletically active.  Could that be you?

Apache

Adorable one year old Apache, is still looking for his Chief. He is a great little guy at 45 pounds, fun loving, active, can be rambunctious, but very deep, just look into those soulful eyes of his. And not to mention those extraordinary markings on his face that nature gave him. A good Chieftain who loves to jog with him, take him outdoors and throw a ball and give him good pack leadership is all he needs and longs for. When I took Apache out on a walk recently from the boarding facility he is staying at, he eagerly ran up to every door we passed and turned to me as if to say...."Is this going to be my new home?" Apache has all his shots, is fully vetted, neutered and micro chipped too.

Leo

Hi there, my name is Leo, that's short for Leonidas!  I may look loke a Greek God, but my story was almost a Greek tragedy.  I was found sick, mangy and starving on the streets of Athens by some nice tourists (yup, that's right, and I don't mean Athens Georgia). They nursed me back to health and took me home with them to good ol' NYC, USA!  I'm a real good fellow and very mellow, but, after my experiences, I just can't handle the city life anymore.  I'm a 1 year old, 40 lb. male of very distinguished origins (i.e., your guess is as good as mine!).  Why not take me home with you to the 'burbs so that we can both have a nice, peaceful life!

Ahoy there matey!  My name's Nelson and I was headed for my own Trafalgar!  I was picked up by a municipal shelter and they were about to call my number.  Luckily, some people saw my noble demeanor and did their duty!  In short, I got sprung and am now comfortably waiting for a fair wind to take me to a home.  I'm a two year old, 70 lb., male brindle/lab mix.  I'm very friendly and just a  little rambunctious.  Why not sign a‘board and take me home?

Lonely

Lonely, I'm Ms. Lonely, I have nobody to call my own!  I used to have somebody, but they left me and that made me very sad.  I'm also very confused, because I'm such a good girl!  I sit and stay and walk really good on a leash, plus I'm very gentle and love everyone.  I'm an 18 month old, 55 lb, female Staffie mix who's away from home though no wish of my own. Please take me in, that way neither one of us will ever be lonely again!

Sprocket

This is Sprocket. Sprocket was found less than a year ago when he was abandoned behind Walmart during a snow storm. He has since been living in a wonderful home, however, his new owner is unable to continue caring for him. Therefore, Sprocket, once again, needs to find a new home. He is a fabulous dog. He does not do well with cats. He is neutered and up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is very well trained, loves to give kisses and cuddle. His favorite game, which will keep him busy for hours, is chasing a flashlight light or laser dot.

Brody

I'm Brody and  I was found roaming around the streets of Brooklyn by a very nice lady who took me in . I actually didn't give her much choice!  I went right  up to her, wagged my tail with delight, and jumped straight up to give her a great big old bear hug. I knew I had a good thing, so I folowed her straight home, no leash or treats required (She can't keep me though, NUTS!) !
I'm (obviously) an extremely sweet and affectionate fellow, I love to run and play fetch, and I'll never cease to make you laugh your heart out. I'm real smart too!  I know my basic commands, such as 'sit,''stay,' 'roll over,' and I also understands those commands in sign language. I'm a 3 year old, 50 lb, male Staffie mix who loves people and dogs and I would love to follow you home next!

Cash

Hi! I'm Cash, a chocolate lab-pit mix. I'm a sweet, energetic boy, who loves to have my belly rubbed, run with other dogs, and above all else go hiking and swimming (if you didn't know better you'd swear I was a fish). Because I was kept in the mud room for the first year of my life (otherwise I'd have been locked in the crate for 10 hours)I can be a bit anxious. So the city makes me a little crazy(i get a bit obsessed with bikes and skateboards and crowds overwhelm me)  My foster mom lives outside the city so i can run and play and be a good, happy boy. To stay that way I should stay outside the city. She says I need an owner who will make me feel the world is a safe place. 
Please open up your heart to me, I will love you more than you thought possible!
 

He is not good in crowds and a home outside of Manhattan would be ideal.

Gia

My name is Gia. I am a female,3 yrs. old, brindle color. I am up to date with shots and im spaded. My mom has to move and she can't take me. I would like to go to a family with older children as im a bit tempermental with young children. I do reside with a 2,7,8 yr.old now, but when I'm sleeping in the corner and they come up to my face, I tend to nip. Otherwise, I'm very 
gentle, and I would be happy to go  to a couple or single person.

Midas

Midas, named after the king in Greek mythology who could turn things into gold with his touch, was found abandoned on a street near my house in Brooklyn.  He was very scared and tired.  We took him to the vet and made sure he got his shots, blood tests, and fecal tests.  Everything was fine.  Midas is furry like bear and very sweet.  He gets along just fine with my dog.  He has shown no signs of aggression.  He is quiet and doesn’t get on the furniture.  He tries to be very compliant.  He has come a long way in the past week and I know he could be a wonderful dog if he was in the right home with someone who could give him love and stability.  I can’t keep him because one dog is really all I can manage right now.  He holds his tail between his legs when he is uncomfortable or scared and has been afraid of my movements if they are too abrupt but in just 1 week he has started to feel much more comfortable around me.  He doesn’t require a lot of exercise like my other dog but he likes to go outside.  He really is sweet and he really needs a foster or permanent home.

Coffee

Hello, my name is Coffee and I'm extra sweet!  That's a real surprise considering that, when I was rescued, I was being dragged around with a chain and beaten with a baseball bat!  They must've been tea-totallers, cuz' I certainly didn't deserve that treatment.  After all of that, I love people! I love to give kisses and will sit for hours if you're petting me and giving me love. I'm a 3.5 years old female about 70 lbs., and I'm picky about the dogs I'll play with [I do like boys :) ] but if you take me home I'll love you for life!
