Trip to Muttville April 2015
The shelter medicine team transferred a few of our senior dogs to muttville last week. Muttville is located in San Franscisco and is an organization dedicated to helping find forever homes for aging senior dogs. Muttville is a cage and kennel free environment and not all dogs would thrive or do well in this setting. If the residents of Muttville don't get adopted, they can live out thier lives at this facility. The photos below chronologically show their journey. For more info visit www.muttville.org/
UPDATE: May 2015 Both Yoda (Seymore) and Buckley (Patches) were recently adopted through Muttville.
Buckley getting ready for Muttville.
These two Fresno rescues were chosen because of their special needs and ages.

Since Muttville is a cage and kennel free environment, our dogs were tested with each other and other dogs for compatibility.

Yoda was groomed, neutered recieved a dental, treated for ear mites, fleas, and ticks, treated for otitis and arthritis, had a hernia repaired at the SPCA but he still needed more .... Muttville will be able to provide the additional resources.
Buckley or Fresno #74, as the shelter medicine team called him, excitedly rode down shotgun with Candace to Muttville.
Buckley was excited to see the famous city encased in fog.

All he can say is "WOW" !!!
Arriving at Muttville.
This photo was taken in the lobby of Muttville.

Muttville is a two story facility divided into mutliple rooms for all the residents. Jeb is looking through a "dutch door" to his new friends on the other side.

By the time we left Yoda was actually walking around checking out things and other residents.
Buckley easily fit right in.
