Rescue life is unpredictable. You never know what each day will bring when you rescue animals, and some weeks are heartbreakingly expensive. Even as we celebrated Bingo Night's success, tragedy struck.

Two puppies recently pulled from animal control tested positive for parvovirus. Spike, a lively 12-week-old pup, was the first to show symptoms, and we rushed him to the vet immediately. Unfortunately, he declined rapidly and developed pneumonia. We did everything we could for him, but his young body couldn't keep up, and we lost him.

Reuben (Bernese Mountain Dog-Husky mix) thankfully responded quickly to the IV medications and required only minimal hospitalization. He is recovering at the Shelter, getting lots of love from our volunteers.

Parvo is expensive to treat, requiring IV medications and extended hospital stays.

Curiosity almost killed Kitty Peeta, who wanted to see what a string tasted like. He found out it doesn't taste very good, and it doesn't digest well either. The string was wrapped around his tongue and trailed down into his intestines, where it encircled them. OUCH! He needed emergency surgery to remove the string and save his organs. This could have happened in any home, and it is a good reminder to keep your cat's area string-free.

The procedure to unwrap his internal organs and save his life was a success. He is recovering with his foster and, hopefully, keeping his curiosity in check.

Treating these animals costs over $14,000 in a single week. Yikes! But that is what rescue is all about. It's more than adoptions and happy endings. Sometimes the endings are sad and unavoidable, like sweet Spike. We are here for the well-being of all the animals in our care, and we will do what it takes to keep them healthy and safe.

We need your help. These procedures take a real toll on our savings. Please consider donating to Mostly Mutts via the link in the comments to help cover the cost of these treatments. The more we can raise, the better prepared we'll be for another unexpected medical need. Please share our story.

Together, we can make their wait healthier and safer.

Mostly Mutts needs your help! Unfortunately, the Rescue has experienced a string of crimes this week, and we need your help catching the individuals responsible. Security cameras at the Kennesaw Shelter and Acworth Market caught these acts in real time. We have filed reports with the police, but to press charges, we need names.

Please note, as a licensed rescue organization, Mostly Mutts cannot legally accept an animal from an individual. We can only rescue dogs and cats who have completed their hold times at animal control facilities.

Here are the facts:
1. An individual in a hoodie walked to Mostly Mutts in Kennesaw from the direction of Twelve Oaks Circle and proceeded to spray-paint graffiti on both sides of our purple van. The left sleeve of the hoodie says "Michael Kors." He also had on a low-hanging backpack.

2. A man abandoned his dog at the Market on Sunday evening around 5 p.m. He walked him to the doors, tied him up, and left. The dog was tied so tightly he couldn't sit down. The dog eventually chewed through the leash and was loose when volunteers and staff arrived on Monday morning. Cherokee County Animal Control took the dog in.

3. On Thursday morning, a man abandoned a black and white cat in a crate on the shelter property. The cat sat in the crate in the sun for a few hours before staff noticed and took the cat inside. He was driving a dark colored RAM truck.

If you recognize any of these individuals, know someone who recently had a dog or cat and no longer does, or have additional information, please email [email protected], contact the Kennesaw Police Department, or contact the Cherokee County Police Department.

Kitty Kelly is a sweet tortie kitten who gets along well with other cats and did well with dogs in her previous foster home. This 8-month-old domestic shorthair cat takes her feeding schedule seriously and will be ready for dinner right on time.

She is a playful baby who enjoys spring toys, crinkle balls, wands, laser pointers, and zooming in and out of tunnels. When she is not playing, Kelly enjoys sitting by a window watching the world go by. This people-loving kitten loves being by your side and curling up in a warm bed.

If you're looking for a playful, loving companion, come and meet Kelly! Schedule a meet-and-greet through the link in the comments.

How is the spay/neuter clinic coming along? Slowly. We want to update everyone on the project and let you know we are moving forward as fast as we can. As you may recall, our 2025 GAgives campaign focused on raising funds to build the clinic. Thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our goal and began converting the house next door in early 2026.

Fast forward to now, and we are waiting for the City of Kennesaw to give final approval before we can begin construction. And that process moves at its own pace. We have submitted everything and are in the final approval phase. The plumber was here this week and installed the backflow, so we are one step closer! The expected completion date is currently the first quarter of 2027! Once we get the all-clear, construction should move quickly.

In the meantime, we are looking for a veterinarian for the clinic and making sure the inside of the house is cleared out and ready to go.

Thank you all for supporting Mostly Mutts and helping us grow!

Have you heard?! Mostly Mutts has a NEW online store!

Mostly Mutts Shop complements the Market and offers higher-value, select items pulled from the sales floor. The Shop expands your options, giving you flexibility to find treasures in two locations.

You can also purchase from the Shop while shopping in the Market and pick up your item there. Look for the in-store signs with a QR code to access the Shop. After you finish shopping, you'll need to pick up online orders at the Market within seven days of purchase, during normal shopping hours.

Like the Market, 100 percent of proceeds from Mostly Mutts Shop go directly toward caring for homeless pets in our rescue.

Want to see what we have? Visit the link in the comments to shop the Shop!

Our sweet Samwise is growing up in the shelter! The last Lord of the Rings puppy is looking for his forever home! He's six months old and a well-behaved baby. He had a minor setback with ringworm, but he's fully recovered and ready to go!

He is a Jack Russell Terrier/Hound mix who loves playing with toys, taking walks, riding in the car, and exploring the world around him. He was chosen for our immersive training program and is a student at Mostly Mutts University, so he knows many of the basic commands.

Samwise got along well with his siblings and has had many playdates with his friends at the shelter. He has good leash manners and accepts friendly strangers without jumping.

Ready to meet this lovable little fella? Complete an application via the link in the comments, and his adoption counselor will contact you.
