How it Started

Featured in AWI Quarterly – Winter 2025

I’m incredibly honored to share that I was featured in the AWI Quarterly Winter 2025 edition in an article titled “Madison’s Mission: No Mutt Left Behind.” The piece highlights my journey, Madison Kossow, and the founding of Mission Mutt Dog Rescue, a foster-based nonprofit dedicated to saving dogs impacted by abuse, neglect, abandonment, and the pet overpopulation crisis.

Mission Mutt was built on the belief that every dog deserves a chance—especially those who are most often overlooked. What started as a small idea has grown into a rescue saving lives across the country, made possible entirely by fosters, volunteers, adopters, and supporters who stand behind this mission.
