GIZMO💙
TUBBS💚
CROCKETT💜
February may be filled with cold days, but there is no shortage of warmth at Mutts With A Mission — especially with the arrival of our newest puppies! These future Service Dogs are already bringing big personalities, boundless energy, and plenty of puppy kisses.
Please welcome Gizmo, a yellow Labrador from the International Breeding Co-Op (IBC) of Pennsylvania, and Tubbs and Crockett, a yellow Labrador sibling duo, who join us from Beach Bum Labradors right here in Virginia Beach.
All three pups are settling in nicely and have begun working on fundamentals like walking on different surfaces, listening to everything from sirens to drums to fireworks, exploring new chew toys, and practicing their potty training. Please help us welcome them into the MWAM family by following us on social media, where you can watch them grow, learn, and become the amazing Service Dogs.

“As a relatively independent paraplegic, I wasn’t initially convinced that I needed a Service Dog. Fortunately, I have great friends who were much smarter than I. Flash forward 2 years, and my Service Dog has literally changed my life for the better!"

💖MISSION MOMENT 💖
Our SDiTs sure had fun playing in the snow! From zoomies to snowy noses and wagging tails, these future Service Dogs made the most of their winter wonderland.
