Mutterings From the Mutts

Wow, what a week it has been at Mostly Mutts!

First, Melody Victoria was on the news and Mostly Mutts received a nice plug as well.  You can click here to see the latest on her story and where things are with the man who cruelly injured her.

Secondly, we lost one of our sweet babies this week.  Mango, a precious little doggy who was in a wonderful new home, had given birth recently to three puppies, two of which passed away.  Last Saturday Mango slipped a disc in her upper back and was paralyzed in the rear. She went in for emergency surgery on Sunday and had been at the Cobb Surgical Center and Cobb Emergency but was still having problems.  She was in a tremendous amount of pain and had to be put to sleep last night.  We wanted to give her time to recover from her back surgery but she was actually getting worse with the paralysis so she really left us no choice.  Her mommy was with her till the very end and gave her lots of hugs and kisses.  We think we love them when they are alive and with us but we realize just how much we love them when they leave us.  She’ll be well cared for in heaven alongside of the other Mostly Mutts dogs there.

Mostly Mutts has had a lot of medical bills in the last few months;  Mango's surgery alone was $5000.00.   Each day she was in the hospital was a minimum of $300.00.  Along with her orthopedic bills, a Mastiff named Bella had a $1600.00 knee surgery.  Bama’s broken leg cost $3500.00 and after spending on Woodstock’s two surgeries, his leg had to be amputated for $700.00.  We are in desperate need to raise $10,000 and we need your help.  We are asking everyone to give whatever you can to help Mostly Mutts keep giving back to the animals that need us out there fighting for them.  You can give to a specific dog through our Chipin links of our Facebook page  or mail a donation to  2774 North Cobb Parkway, Suite 109 #189, Kennesaw, GA  30152.  We also have a Paypal account you can donate through on our website at Mostly Mutts.


Last but not least, we have two special angels who are new to the shelter who have been badly starved.  They  are playful, beautiful dogs who have enjoyed all the hugs, kisses and attention lavished on them at their stop over at Mostly Mutts.

 Meet Paula Sue and Paul Joseph!  Paula is thought to be about a year and half old and sort type of American Bulldog.  Very loving and enjoys people!  Paul Joseph is roughly four 4 years old, male and is probably some type of Beagle mix.  These little sweet hearts lived in a yard together and were starving.  A kindly neighbor took them in to animal control.  The owner signed them over to animal control and received a citation.  They have certainly been blessed to end up at Mostly Mutts!
Keep your love and support for the mutts coming; it never goes unappreciated!  And anyone is interested in helping to organize a fundraiser, please email us at MostlyMutts@comcast.net.

Meet Gracie, Louise and George





Above, Gracie; Center-Louise; Below, George

We've got three sweet little babies in at Mostly Mutts that everyone has fallen in love with!

At the top is Gracie who came in with George, shown at the bottom.  These two friends love to chase a ball and if you visit our Facebook page, you can see them on video having a grand old time with one of the volunteers, chasing and running around like little crazies! These two are small dogs estimated to be between ten and twelve years of age.  They came into Mostly Mutts in dire need of dental work and they are actually spending today at the doggy dentist, hopefully getting everything they need taken care of.

In the middle is precious Louise, a medium sized dog about three years old.  She seems to be house broken and has perfect cage manners.  She has had a rough life because she has never had a home.  She has been a stray who has had litter after litter of puppies.  She finally made it to animal control; thankfully it turned out that they called the good people at Mostly Mutts and Lousie was rescued!  She is very sweet and wags her tail quite a bit but it will take some acclimating to get her used to "family living."  Louise still has a long road ahead of her as she is heartworm positive and also has Juvenile Cataracts.  Her sight is slightly impaired but with surgery, she will be able to see much better.  She is great with other dogs and would love to have a playmate in her new home!

Meet Josie-Can You Help Her?

 This is Josie, a sweet newcomer to Mostly Mutts via Cobb County Animal Control.  Josie is a three month old Pit Bull and suffers from both a case of cherry eye and Demodex mange. (Our Facebook friend said we had a "ruff" start and she's right!)  Cherry eye does require surgery and happens because a dog has a prolasped third eyelid tear gland that causes irritation to the eyeball.  The mange that she has is hereditary; most pups get it from their mother at birth.  Normally pups have a pretty healthy immune system and they can fight it off  but a comprised system, caused by poor diet, neglect or just stress from being a stray, causes the mange mites to take over and results in a huge flare up. (as you see from the picture on the right.)  Demodex is not contagious so she can still receive lots of hugs and belly scratches!  She did start medicine and had an allergic reaction to it, but as you can see from the second picture, she is on the road to healing!

As you can guess, Josie's medical bills will be extensive and she (and Mostly Mutts) could use your help.  If you would to contribute to her medical bills, please click this link:

She is a beautiful girl and can't wait to get into her forever home!
