Mutts in Need

We are a group of volunteers in Southern California, primarily in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned animals. We care for strays, abandoned animals, victims of abuse, and have rescued many from euthanization in animal shelters across California. At the present time we do not have a facility of our own to keep them, so we rely solely on the good will of foster families who care for them until they can be placed in permanent homes.We also work closely with other rescue groups and we are always in need of volunteers to assist in showing the animals on weekends and especially to foster pets until they are adopted. Our founders started many years ago as volunteers with various non-profit organizations across the United States and have made pet rescue a major part of their lives. Most of us have our own families of dogs, cats, and other pets who once were also rescues. "Critters in Need Pet Rescue" is an established animal rescue and placement group. With your help and the help of our friends, we will be able to save many lives and bring much happiness to many people and animals alike.We are constantly in need of help in various fields of pet adoption. Volunteers are desperately needed to provide foster homes, help showing animals to the public in pet shows and events, home visitations, publicity, pet transportation and a number of other projects aimed at placing as many animals as we can in the very best of homes.If you would like to become a volunteer please send an E-Mail to [email protected]

Meet Sparky

I’m a young 5 year old Yorkie boy and an owner surrender.  I’m very similar to a cat, although I’ve never met one, and don’t want you to pet me unless I tell you too. If you give me treats, I’ll probably like you faster, otherwise I’ll keep my distance.   I get along with other dogs but I don’t really care to play with them as my hobbies include going on walks, riding in cars, and sunbathing.  I don’t care for young kids and over-bearing affectionate humans but again, will allow you to pet me when you have good treats.  One fun fact about me is my hair grows insanely fast so I have to see a groomer for a cut every month. The groomers always say I’m a good boy and that’s why I like going.  If you think you’re my forever human and want to meet me, please apply at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html  ***** Sparkys ideal home would be one that does not have a lot of people coming and going (preferably 1-2 people max) and no kids
