Magnificent Mutts is an all-volunteer organization that relies on the skills and kindness of animal lovers like you.

Help Wanted!

For more information on how you can help, please fill out the Volunteer Application online.  Your generosity of your time is greatly appreciated!  

Here are some of the ways you can contribute:

  • Foster Care 

Fostering is an excellent opportunity for you and your family to make a difference. The sense of accomplishment that comes with helping a lost, frightened animal find love and family is unlike anything you will ever experience!

Contact us today for information on how to become a foster home. To start the process, complete our online Foster Application.

  • Adoption Events  

We need volunteers to handle dogs at Adoption Events, typically a 3 hour commitment on a Saturday afternoon. 

  • Transport 

We need volunteers to transport dogs from various shelters to our vets and foster homes.

 

 

Desperately Seeking Foster Homes!

Fostering is a beautiful way to help cast-off animals begin to trust again.

Few Mutt activities capture so well the underlying essence of animal support. To be sure, while there are many ways to help out, fostering is one volunteer function that's very "hands on" -- or very "hearts on" -- as its beneficial effects can be immediate, clear, and lasting - for the animal and the volunteer.   If you can open up your home to help, please contact Linda as soon as possible.  Thanks!

The Top 10 Benefits of Fostering

  1. Fostering saves millions of cat's and dog's lives each year.

  2. Fostering gives one-on-one attention to orphans and animals with trust issues that shelters otherwise would have to euthanize immediately.

  3. Fostering allows animals to live in a home environment and become accustomed to typical sights, sounds and smells rather than being confined to a cage.

  4. Fostering allows the foster owner to get to know the animal and give potential adopters a better idea about its personality.

  5. Fostering helps socialize shy animals.

  6. Fostering helps shelters build their facilities as well as keep them staffed.

  7. Fostering allows parents who want their kids to experience the miracle of birth to do so without adding to the pet population by fostering a pregnant queen.

  8. Fostering animals provides short-term companions for seniors without the personal pet expenses.

  9. Fostering gives you an opportunity to really get to know a cat before you make a long-term commitment.

  10. Fostering allows you to have no out-of-pocket expenses.  All you add is love!

Shelter Needed for Homeless Animals

Magnificent Mutts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3 animal shelter licensed by the state of Illinois, run by a group of volunteers dedicated to finding loving homes for the

We house all animals waiting for adoption in foster homes.  Our volunteers do what they can, sharing their homes with animals in need.  But our lack of a shelter facility severely limits the number of pets we can save. 

 Adding a real shelter facility to our network of foster homes would enable us to save hundreds -- even thousands – of animals.  We could then match those rescued pets with loving families and forever homes.  With your help, there’s no telling how many innocent animals we can save from cruelty, abuse, neglect or unnecessary euthanasia.

Are you or your family considering donating or willing money to a good cause?  Or do you, or someone you know, have a building or parcel of land you would consider donating to Magnificent Mutts? 

Please consider donating funds, a building or land to help us build a shelter.  Because Magnificent Mutts is a non-profit

For donation information, please contact Linda directly at (708) 703-5047 or by email.

On behalf of our volunteers, our animals and their forever families, thank you for your support of Magnificent Mutts.
