Missy

I adopted Tika (formerly Violet) on May 18, 2017. She’s from California, she was on the streets with her puppies when you guys found her. Tika was spayed and sent straight to Calgary. Naturally, she was a bit out of sorts from all that. Her foster mum was so great and encouraging. Even though Tika wouldn’t come near me at first, her foster mum assured me she just takes a bit of time to warm up. It was about 6 hours after she got to my house before she curled up on my lap and it was an instant connection. She has done well in the snow, she doesn’t really like her jacket. As soon as I take her jacket off, she rips around the house, it's really funny. I absolutely adore her, and I love her so much! She has so much personality (as you can see from our pictures). She definitely loves to snuggle, and sleep under the covers. She is really good with other dogs, and she loves cats. She knows a lot of tricks now, she has recently learnt how to roll over without any help from me. I’m a proud mummy! Thank you so much Little Mutts Rescue for everything you do and for giving me Tika. "Rescue dogs aren't broken, they've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write, the ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity a rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness by your side" Quote unknown Thanks again,  Justine & Tika

Joey (schnauzer x terrier from Mexico) came to his forever home in Lethbridge on April 9, 2016.  We are so grateful to Little Mutts for giving Joey a chance and being our gateway to gaining such a perfect furry family member.  His were the first pair of sad eyes that I saw on the website and I knew instantly that we had to apply to adopt him, but we were leaving on a family vacation so had to wait until after Easter before bringing any animal into our home.  As fate would have it, he was still available when we returned to Canada and he was home with us the following weekend!  [Many thanks to his Auntie Kat {foster mom} for caring for him in the meantime!]  He was timid of several things when we first brought him home, but he settled in quickly and attached to each member of his human family (though he's really a mama's boy, when it comes down to it!)  We truly feel that it was meant to be - he's definitely one of us!  He sleeps with each of our children when they go to bed, and ends up at our feet when it's our turn to settle in for the night.  He has a best friend two doors down and has playdates several times a week to wrestle, but also loves his down time to just enjoy being a pampered pooch. Thanks so much, Little Mutts!  

Chico has been a joy to have in the house.  He has an adorable personality that goes with being an adorable little dog.  His background must have included some really good training because he is good at following commands when he wants to and there are treats involved.    We love this little fellow and don’t mind too much that he barks a lot, will bite people who come in the house, and tries to attack dogs outside no matter what the breed.  Quite a little character.  But we love him to bits.  He is so affectionate with us and gets lots of affection back.   We feel very fortunate that we found this little fellow and wouldn’t trade little Chico for anything!  He may not be a dog for everyone but he sure is a dog for us!   Bridge

A quick update on Miss Harriet (formerly Bell). She has been such an amazing addition to our family! She has become best buds with our other dog Huey, she follows him everywhere! She is so good on walks now, she comes when called (getting treats of course) and has regular off leash walks at a park daily. She doesn’t stray far from myself or Huey but wants to greet each person and dog that she meets. Harriet LOVES my 3 children! Everyone is greeted each morning with a face full of kisses and her little tail wags so fast. She has had a few accidents in the house but few and far between. We absolutely love her to bits! I know she needs a haircut but I can’t bring myself to cut those eyebrows!😍 Thank you to Little Mutts, we feel very lucky to have Harriet in our lives.

Hello to the amazing Little Mutts Rescue Team!!  Just wanted to give you an update on little Miss Ellie Mae aka Miyoko who we adopted October 18th, 2018.  Ellie Mae has been with us for just over one year and has settled into her new fur-ever home very well.  She knows this is her turf and protects it when necessary – all 7 lbs of her.  Ellie is such a cuddle bug and loves to watch tv with me or get under the covers when we go to bed.  From the start she had great puppy manners and we have both figured out the signs to let her outside to do her business. She enjoys her walks and treats like; cucumbers, cauliflower, carrots, apples, cheese and just about anything that falls on the floor.  We have been trying to encourage her to play with the numerous toys she has but she would rather just cuddle up and sleep.  I certainly don't mind.  Thank you again for your patience in finding me the perfect match – Ellie Mae.  She continues to bring me joy, laughter, love and lots of kisses.
