We are a group of dedicated dog rescuers. Our lives have all been touched by Mexican street dogs. Together we rescue dogs. The name Mila's Mutts comes from an amazing dog named Milagros (miracle in Spanish) that was rescued from Mexico. It was a miracle she made it to the PNW into our loving home! We have all helped rescue dogs in many different ways, from fostering, escorting, advocating, transporting, you name it. After some discussions, we decided, why not start our own rescue? So, here we are, dedicating ourselves to rescuing street dogs. We save them from life threatening conditions, then once they are healed, fixed, and vaccinated, they can fly to the PNW to find forever homes.
The first step is filling out an application on our website - under available dogs. If the application is the right fit for the dog, we set up a time to chat with the potential adopter and a home check. We go over more background about the dogs, the environment they come from, the good, the bad, everything they come with and more. If the family would like to continue with our process, we send them videos and photos of the dog. The family has 24 hours to decide if they would like to adopt the dog or not. If the family would like to officially adopt the dog, we have them sign a pre-adoption contract and pay a deposit. The deposit goes toward the adoption fee. The new family will receive regular photos and/or videos, until the dog arrives. Before they arrive, we send a full transport plan, with all the details they need to know for the Dogs arrival. Once the dog arrives, the family picks them up directly off transport.
