If Willy Wonka designed a dog we think it would look like Dusty. Short little legs, long body, kind of a goof and just like Violet he’s turned blue! He’s got a bouncy walk and ears that never seem to know what they want to do. He sleeps in all the funny positions and isn’t afraid of the biggest dogs around. He truly thinks he’s bigger than each and every one of them! He’s everything magical and whimsical mixed up into an adorable canine package.
But this little bit of whimsy wasn’t always so lucky. He was 1st spotted cowering under his bed at our city shelter. Brought in as a stray Dusty’s owners never came for him. He sat terrified in the shelter hiding anywhere he could with little chance of being seen. Lucky for him one of our amazing fosters said yes and Dusty quickly settled into home life like he’s always belonged not a shy or scared bone in his entire body.
Dusty is a funny little guy who’s happiest trotting around with his humans and playing with his small dog friends. He can be a bit bossy with the big guys but when given no other choice he typically acclimates. Hes great with humans of all sizes and working on his crate and house training skills. Hes nondestructive and has a fun vibrant personality. Hes all about those belly rubs or any kind of attention you give his way. If you’re looking for a rad little dude who wears his uniqueness for the world to see Dusty just might be the golden ticket you’ve been waiting for!

Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley's Mutts:
Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
All pets will be spayed or neutered
All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
