About Us

Mutts in Need rescues and re-homes dogs of all sizes and breeds to homes in Orange County and the surrounding areas. Our top priority is finding safe, loving, permanent homes for our dogs, for life.
​
All of our rescues are micro-chipped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated and dewormed prior to adoption. 

Many of our dogs are housed at a central location in Newport Beach, though we also support a small foster network. ALL of our rescue staff are VOLUNTEERS--so we always appreciate donations and extra hands! See our "Be A Part" page for more info.

Susanna McDonald is our Co- Founder & International rescue coordinator and can be reached at AdoptK9s@gmail.com

Mission Statement

​Mutts in Need provides care, comfort and compassion to dogs in need to bring about an end to the killing of abandoned and orphaned shelter animals.  We are a non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to reducing overpopulation, abuse and neglect of domestic animals.
​ 
Mutts in Need is run entirely by compassionate like-minded professionals who volunteer their time and resources to help save the lives and then care for these dogs.
