About Muttley Crue

Muttley Crue is a 501c3 non-profit organization that exists with the sole purpose of saving the lives of animals in danger. In 2013, Muttley Crue saved over 190 lives mostly from high kill shelters, the freezing cold streets of Cleveland and from the homes of abusive or neglectful owners. Once rescued, most of these dogs require medical care to repair the damage they incurred from their previous lives, undergo spay or neuter surgeries and receive vaccinations and any other special medications. These dogs are placed in safe and loving foster homes until they are healthy and ready to find their furever families.

Members of our Crue are quite busy battling animal abuse, rescuing and rehabilitating homeless animals, finding perfect families for our adoptables, networking those in need, educating the masses, being ambassadors for the pit bull breed, and overall Saving the World, One Puppy at a Time. But every once in awhile, we make time to send press releases...just to show the world how fantastic we are!
