Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue & Adoption, Inc.
Our Mission
At Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue, we are committed to transforming abused, abandoned, and unwanted animals into cherished family members for life. Our goal is to reduce the number of animals euthanized in the metro Atlanta area by providing comprehensive care and finding loving, permanent homes for every pet in our care.
Our Journey
Since our founding in 2004, Mostly Mutts has grown from a small group of volunteers with a modest garage space into a dedicated team of over 800 volunteers. A transformational gift from Anne Reed allowed us to establish our state-of-the-art facility in Kennesaw, Georgia, providing a safe, comfortable, and specialized space for animals while they await their forever families.
How We Help
We operate through a compassionate, volunteer-based model that blends the warmth of foster homes with the structure of our Kennesaw adoption center. Our foster families play a vital role, opening their hearts to provide individualized care, while our Mostly Mutts University program ensures our rescue dogs develop confidence and essential social skills. By focusing on both medical rehabilitation and behavioral support, we prepare our rescues for success in their new lives.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
We believe in the power of thoughtful matching to build lasting, joyful partnerships between pets and their people. Our team goes to great lengths to understand the personality and needs of each animal, ensuring that when you find your ideal companion, it is the start of a beautiful friendship. Because good dogs make happy people, every adoption includes free obedience and socialization training to help you and your new pet thrive together.
Join Our Pack
Whether you are ready to open your heart to a new rescue or wish to volunteer your time, we invite you to join our mission. Explore our current adoptable dogs and cats on our website, or contact us to schedule an appointment to meet your future best friend today.

10/15 - 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! #mostlymutts #spayneuterclinic #petadoption #shelteranimals #kennesawga

9/30 - 46 bones for the pups at Mostly Mutts! 🦴🐾❤️ My rescue bestie Stephanie @hambam57 and I got to visit Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue @mostly_mutts in Kennesaw, GA and pass out some much-deserved enrichment — and she personally donated 30+ bones to my drive! 🥹🫶 I absolutely loved visiting. The dogs are so well cared for, and the staff and volunteers were incredibly kind and welcoming. You can truly feel how much they care about every pup there. ❤️ And a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated enrichment bones to my birthday drive. Every delivery, every happy pup, and every wagging tail is possible because of your kindness and generosity. 🦴✨ None of this happens without you. ❤️ And if you’re looking to adopt or add a new foster to your home, please consider visiting the wonderful pups at Mostly Mutts!

9/26 - 🥺 Delphina needs someone to be her safe place. 🤍 @mostly_mutts 🤎 This sweet 3-year-old, 20-lb girl is still very scared and unsure of the world. When she gets overwhelmed, she looks for someone she trusts and literally clings to them for comfort. Delphina is heartworm positive and will be receiving treatment through Mostly Mutts — but she needs a foster or adopter to give her a calm, safe place to decompress and help her through treatment. ❤️ She doesn’t need someone to “fix” her. She needs someone who will be patient, gentle, and willing to let her build confidence at her own pace. Once she feels safe, Delphina is a cuddly little lovebug. 🥹🐾 🏡 FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED 🐾 3 years old • 20 lbs ❤️ Heartworm treatment covered by Mostly Mutts 🤍 Sweet, gentle & shy 📍 Kennesaw, GA Can you be Delphina’s safe place? Or tag someone who can. Please share — her person could be seeing this. 🤍 #adoptdontshop #atlanta #fosteringsaveslives❤️🐶 #atlantaga #atlantadogs
