Each year, countless innocent dogs and puppies are euthanized due to overcrowded shelters. Many have faced neglect or hardship long before they ever arrive, yet all they want is a safe, loving home.

At Mission Mutt Dog Rescue, we work to save dogs in urgent need—especially those at risk of euthanasia. We provide safety, care, and a path to a forever family for dogs who might otherwise never get a second chance.

Your support truly saves lives. Donations help cover medical care, transport, food, and the essentials that make rescue possible. Together, we can give these dogs the hope and love they deserve.

Mission Mutt Dog Rescue, a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs. Our primary goal is to offer them a chance at a new life in loving forever homes, one adoption at a time.
Mission Mutt Dog Rescue was founded by Madison Kossow in 2023. With a deep passion for animal welfare, Madison wanted to formulate a foster-based rescue so that each dog feels loved throughout their time in the rescue until their new family is found.

Featured in AWI Quarterly – Winter 2025

I’m incredibly honored to share that I was featured in the AWI Quarterly Winter 2025 edition in an article titled “Madison’s Mission: No Mutt Left Behind.” The piece highlights my journey, Madison Kossow, and the founding of Mission Mutt Dog Rescue, a foster-based nonprofit dedicated to saving dogs impacted by abuse, neglect, abandonment, and the pet overpopulation crisis.

Mission Mutt was built on the belief that every dog deserves a chance—especially those who are most often overlooked. What started as a small idea has grown into a rescue saving lives across the country, made possible entirely by fosters, volunteers, adopters, and supporters who stand behind this mission.
