Misunderstood Mutts Rescue
Our Mission
Misunderstood Mutts Rescue (MMR) is a registered 501(c)3 volunteer-based organization serving Yakima County and Western Washington.
We are a foster based rescue that ensures all of our rescue dogs are vaccinated, spayed and neutered, microchipped and behaviorally assessed and trained.
We strive to place the right dog with the right family and our process requires an application, references, a meet & greet, and a representative from MMR performing proper introduction techniques.
MMR was formed in October 2016 with the goal of helping dogs in our home state of Washington.
If you're interested in adopting one of our dogs, please submit a commitment-free application on our website - this is the first step in the adoption process: www.misunderstoodmutts.org/adopt
Adoption Policy
If you see a dog listed, it means they are still available for adoption!
Filling out an application is the first step in the adoption process. From that we set up a meet & greet, check references and determine if it’s a right fit.
You are not required to adopt the dog once your application is submitted, and submitting an application does not guarantee you will be able to adopt the dog you're applying for.
If you've previously submitted an adoption application, it's not necessary to submit a new one! Please contact us directly with your name, the name of the dog you're interested in adopting, and a quick reminder that you've already filled out an application.
Our adoption fee ranges from $150 to $495, which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a behavioral assessment.
A representative from MMR will be with you every step of the way to ensure the best transition possible for both the dogs and for you!
**At this time we only adopt out in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia homes**
