Kiki & Mr Scruffy are approximately three months old. They were found in a box on the side of the road in the desert. Kiki has a slight neurological issue the vet thinks she’s had since birth or from trauma as a puppy. There are times that she will fall over when she’s running too fast. It does not impede her walking playing and eating and just being a normal puppy as you can tell from the video.
They are both super sweet and are just looking for a forever home together. If you can offer this please fill out an application through the link in our bio!
NOTE: We are looking for an adopter for the PAIR. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CAN ONLY ADOPT ONE.

Kota is an 8 month old male Dutch shepherd/Malinois who has the most loving personality we have ever met. He gives unlimited kisses and always wants to snuggle up next to you. A home with a yard is needed because he needs an area to run around frequently. As anyone who’s ever had a young Shepherd knows they have a lot of energy and apartment living just does not work for them. He is still a puppy so basic training will be needed for his new family as well as for himself.
This poor boy was abandoned him in the desert so getting in and out of a car can worry him, but after a couple of practices he is getting the hang of it. He’s very smart, he knows how to sit and Is learning new things every day with his foster. He is getting neutered in the next two weeks and will be introduced to more dogs to keep his socialization going. So far he’s only come into contact with his fosters parents dog and he did great.
If you would like to meet this handsome boy please fill out an application through the link in our bio and an appointment for a meet and greet will be arranged. We would prefer someone with Shepherd or large dog experience who enjoys being active.

Happy Wednesday!
Have you ever seen two more beautiful boys?
Choco, the little one, is still looking for his forever home. We are shocked that he is still with us. He is shy when meeting new people but a total love once he knows you.

***Foster home needed!***
Meet Kelsey!
This gorgeous girl is in need of a foster home! Kelsey can jump a 6’ fence without any hesitation so must be on leash initially until she can be trusted not to jump or you have a 8’+ tall fence. While she is extremely dog friendly, she needs to be the only dog as she’s currently in heat. Our vets will not spay her while she’s in heat, but is scheduled for a spay at the end of November.
If interested in fostering Kelsey, please send us an email: muttsinneed@gmail.com

How has Miss Lady still not been adopted?!
Lady is a 3-year-old approximately and 45 pound sweetheart of a dog. She is a mix of Cattledog and bullterrier.
She came to us from Riverside with her three buddies who have all been adopted. One of her buddies was her mother who had a wonderful disposition. Lady was very shy when she 1st arrived. She has really come out of her shell in the last month but is still fearful of strangers. She is playful with the ball, gets along great with other dogs, and just loves to cuddle and go for walks.. once she is comfortable with you.
If you would like to meet her please fill out an application through the link in our bio or at muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Kit is a wonderful Aussie shepherd mix. He is 2-2.5yrs and approximately 40 pounds and extremely sweet and eager to please once he is comfortable with you. He’s a little shy with new people and would do best in a home with another young fun dog that he likes. His best friends are Rambo and blossom on the site in case you’re looking for two. He does have a prey drive so please no rodents (as pets) as he will not be the right dog.
An application must be done if you are interested in meeting this handsome boy. Just go to the link in our bio or to muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html
