SAVING DOGS FROM HIGH-KILL SHELTERS IS NOT ALL WE DO!

• Operational support needed for Marley's Mutts rescue and rehabilitation efforts.  Saving pups involves medical and behavioral assessments and administration of vaccines and microchips, trained Rescue Advocates and tons of dog food.
  
  
• Miracle Mutts Therapy Dog Program served over 20,000 community members last year with Animal Assisted Education and Animal Assisted Therapy.  The program is administered by one Marley's employee and dozens of dedicated volunteer handlers and their Miracle Mutts Certified and AKC titled Therapy Dogs.
  
  
• Marley's Pawsitive Change Prison Program pairs dogs from high-kill shelters with incarcerated Student Trainers.  This comprehensive vocational education program prepares those released to enter the workforce in the pet industry and has a proven track record of breaking the cycle of recidivism.
  
  
• Marley's Mutts Movers was created to help clear the overwhelming number of dogs in local shelters.  393 dogs were transported in 2023 to adoption partners located in the Pacific NW and Canada where there is a waiting list for adoptable dogs.
