Mission Mutt Dog Rescue | Saving Lives Across the U.S. | Fosters Needed: Central Florida & Surrounding Areas

Find Your New Best Friend

We are a Florida-based rescue and accept out-of-state adoption applications to match rescues with loving families forever.

Please Note: Because our dogs come to us without formal background records, their listed breeds and ages are our best educated estimates. While we work closely with veterinary professionals to determine these details, we cannot guarantee exact age or genetic makeup without DNA testing.

What's Included

Spay/Neuter: All dogs will be fixed prior to adoption

DHPP Vaccines: All dogs will be current on DHPP vaccine boosters up until the date of adoption (Please contact your veterinarian to schedule the remaining booster to stay protected)
Rabies 1 Year Vaccine: Rabies 1 year vaccine will be provided to dogs 4 months or older. If the puppy you adopt is under 4 months old please contact your vet to get him or her vaccinated against rabies.
Heartworm Testing: Heartworm testing is performed on dogs 6 months or older.
Preventatives: All dogs are current on monthly preventatives.
Deworming: All dogs are provided with deworming medication for intesitnal parasites
Microchip: Make sure to register the microchip as soon as you get home!

Adoption Day

We require all owned dogs to attend to make sure everyone gets along. Have them walk together and get used to each other before letting them meet face to face.
Bring a leash, collar, and a way to safely transport.

After Adopting

WATCH: Dogs may have diarrhea and stomach upset because of a change in diet. You can ask the foster home what type of food your new dog is on to keep them on the same food or to buy a small amount to transition them over to your preferred food. Pumpkin, plain white rice, and plain cooked chicken will help with transitioning food.
BE CONCERNED: If diarrhea persists for more than two days or sooner if it has blood mixed in with it. Please contact the rescue if this type of symptom occurs immediately after adoption. If the dog has been in your care for a week or more, please contact your veterinarian.
NOTE: As a rescue organization, we take in dogs from a wide variety of backgrounds, many of whom have received minimal to no veterinary care prior to intake. While we provide thorough care, treatment, and medical evaluation for every dog during their time with us, we cannot predict or guarantee their future health. Mission Mutt Dog Rescue covers all necessary medical treatment while a dog is in our care; however, the adopter assumes full responsibility for all veterinary and medical expenses incurred after the adoption is finalized. Look under the What's Included tab to view the basic medical care provided to each dog (some might receive additional care if needed).
