Mission
Save-A-Mutt is dedicated to creating awareness about the number of adoptable dogs in shelters and find every dog its forever home! We do this by raising funds to A) cover the costs of transporting litters of puppies from high kill shelters to spay/neuter and adopt out; B) to provide medical care for special needs or injured dogs in our local shelter system; C) Focus on the welfare and final placement of Senior Dogs relinquished at area shelters, including medical, grooming and geriatric care. In addition, we hold a firm belief that Puppies aren't Products and hope to stop the sale of puppies and kittens in Washington State pet stores.
