KENNESAW – Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue is excited to announce it has placed 500 pets into new, loving homes so far in 2017. The total number of adoptions for all of last year was 520, so Mostly Mutts is on track for a record-setting year of saving homeless pets.

The second annual Strut Your Mutt dog walk and festival is coming to Atlanta on Saturday, September 23 at Brook Run Park from 8am – 12pm.

Mostly Mutts strives to reduce the number of animals euthanized at local shelters in Metro Atlanta by working with animal control officers to save adoptable dogs that are moments away from being put to sleep. Often, these dogs are sick, injured and require rehabilitation. Mostly Mutts provides housing, health care, training, and physical and emotional care to these rescued animals until they can be placed in a new “furever home.” Since 2004, Mostly Mutts has saved approximately 7,000 animals.

Mostly Mutts is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, licensed by the Dept. of Agriculture and staffed by volunteers. It is privately funded through donations and adoption fees.
