True

24 Weeks Old | Male | Chihuahua/Poodle Mix
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

Meet True — all heart, all personality.

True is the kind of pup who makes people smile before they even realize why. With his scruffy little face, bright curious eyes, and confident “I’ve got this” attitude, he carries himself like a big dog who just happens to come in a smaller package. He knows what he wants, he knows he’s cute, and he’s absolutely correct on both counts.

At 24 weeks old, True has fully leaned into life as a professional puppy. His days are filled with very important responsibilities like squeaking toys as loudly as possible, zooming around as if he’s late for something (he never is), and making sure everyone knows that small dogs can have very big personalities. If enthusiasm were a skill set, True would already be highly accomplished.

When playtime winds down, True is more than happy to switch gears. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves curling up next to his people, soaking up cuddles and attention like it’s exactly where he belongs. He’s mastered that perfect balance of playful energy and cozy companionship, making him an easy pup to fall completely in love with.

True has been well socialized and does great with other dogs and cats. He is kennel trained, doing well with potty training and leash training, and is a smart, eager learner who responds best to praise, treats, and positive reinforcement. He truly enjoys being part of a routine and wants to be included in whatever his people are doing.

If you’re looking for a small dog with a huge heart, a joyful spirit, and a personality that keeps life fun, True might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to grow up alongside a forever family who will laugh at his antics, cheer him on, and love him exactly as he is — scruff, sass, and all.

☀️ Roman ☀️
6 Months Old | Male | Catahoula x Pittie Mix
📍 Fostered in Beach Park, IL

Roman is the kind of dog who carries sunshine wherever he goes. With one warm honey-brown eye and one striking icy-blue eye, he has a presence that instantly captures attention. People stop mid-step to admire him—and Roman, with his joyful grin and playful confidence, is always happy to say hello.

When Roman first arrived at Mastro Mutts, life hadn’t been very kind to him. He was struggling with flea dermatitis, his skin irritated and uncomfortable, and it was clear he didn’t feel his best. With proper medical care, good nutrition, and the safety of a loving foster home, everything changed. His skin healed beautifully, his coat grew in healthy and shiny, and his bright, spirited personality finally had room to shine.

Today, Roman is a thriving, intelligent, and affectionate young dog who is ready for a home of his own. He is fully potty trained, kennel trained, and does wonderfully on leash. Roman is extremely social—he gets along great with other dogs, is gentle and respectful with cats, and absolutely adores kids. He truly believes the world is full of friends and approaches life with an open heart.

Roman has a high energy level and thrives when he has opportunities to stay active and engaged. He loves toys of all kinds and brings enthusiasm and curiosity to everything he does. Despite his lively spirit, Roman is deeply devoted to his people. He forms strong bonds, loves wholeheartedly, and has a way of making his humans feel like the most important part of his world.

Roman would do best with an adopter or family who has the time, energy, and desire to include him in daily life—someone who enjoys walks, playtime, training, and shared adventures. With continued guidance, consistency, and love, Roman has all the potential to grow into an exceptional lifelong companion.

If you’re looking for a dog who is resilient, joyful, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s sunshine, Roman may be the perfect addition to your home.

Peach is a 13-week-old Shepherd mix with a big personality, a curious spirit, and a heart full of love. From the moment she wakes up, Peach is ready to take on the day like a tiny explorer with very important places to be. Every corner must be investigated, every toy thoroughly tested, and every human properly greeted before she can declare the day a success.

Peach has fully embraced the puppy lifestyle — play hard, learn constantly, and nap like a champion.

💙 Charlie 💙
13 Weeks Old | Male | Shepherd Mix
📍 Fostered in Waukegan, IL

Charlie is a 13-week-old Shepherd mix who lives life exactly how a puppy should — with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart. He’s the kind of pup who reminds you to enjoy the moment, laugh often, and never underestimate the power of a good snuggle.

Charlie has mastered the art of balance. During playtime, he’s all in — happily wrestling with dog friends, exploring toys like they’re part of a top-secret mission, and breaking out into joyful zoomies just because he can. When the fun winds down, Charlie flips the switch and becomes a first-class cuddle companion, curling up and settling in like it’s his favorite part of the day.

This sweet boy is playful, social, and curious without being overwhelming. He brings energy and joy into a home, but also knows how to relax and enjoy quiet moments. Charlie is the kind of puppy who fits seamlessly into daily life — keeping things fun while still offering calm companionship.

In his foster home in Waukegan, Charlie is already building a strong foundation for success. He does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and children, settles nicely in his kennel when needed, and sleeps peacefully through the night in his playpen. He’s beginning to work on basic puppy manners and is eager to learn, showing all the signs of growing into a well-mannered, confident adult dog.

Charlie is goofy without being wild, sweet without trying, and endlessly lovable. He’s the kind of puppy who quickly becomes the heart of the home — the one you laugh with, relax with, and can’t imagine life without.

🐾💙 Meet River 💙🐾
15 Weeks Old | Female | Mixed Breed
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

If happiness had four legs, a constantly wagging tail, and absolutely no respect for personal space… her name would be River. And once you meet her, your life will never be the same (in the best way possible).

River is the kind of puppy who wakes up every morning like, “WOW. I can’t believe I get to be alive AND have friends today.” 🥹✨ She radiates joy. She enters rooms like she’s been invited. She loves like she’s known you forever — because in her heart, she probably has.

Currently being fostered in Kenosha, River is absolutely crushing the puppy life. Her resume includes:
• Professional zoomie coordinator
• Expert toy enthusiast
• Certified cuddle specialist
• Emotional support shadow (yes, she will follow you everywhere — even to places you didn’t know required supervision)

River loves to play, but what she really loves is snuggling. She’s the kind of puppy who doesn’t just curl up next to you — she melts into you, sighs deeply, and gives you that look that says, “So… this is forever, right?” 🥰

She’s been well socialized and does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her a wonderful fit for families, multi-pet homes, or anyone who’s been feeling like something (or someone) is missing. River approaches the world with curiosity and confidence, tail wagging the whole way, ready to make friends wherever she goes.

What truly sets River apart is her heart. She’s silly without being wild, affectionate without being clingy, playful without forgetting that naps are sacred. She has this incredible way of making you feel chosen — like out of all the people in the world, you are her favorite. And honestly? That’s a powerful feeling. 💙

River isn’t just looking for a home. She’s looking for her people. The ones she’ll grow up with. The ones she’ll greet at the door like it’s the best moment of her day. The ones she’ll curl up beside after a long day and quietly remind that everything is going to be okay.

If your heart could use a little extra love, your home could use more laughter, and your life could use a puppy who thinks you are pure magic — River is ready.

💖 Creek 💖
15 Weeks Old | Female | Mixed Breed
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

Creek is a 15-week-old sweetheart whose favorite place in the world is wherever the snuggles are. If there’s a group of puppies playing, resting, or curled up together, Creek can almost always be found at the bottom of the puppy pile — perfectly content, warm, and right where she belongs.

Currently being fostered in Kenosha, Creek has quickly become known for her gentle nature and deep love of closeness. She enjoys playtime with toys and romping around with other dogs, but once the excitement winds down, her true personality shines. Creek seeks out connection, happily settling in beside her people or cuddling up with a furry friend. For her, affection is essential and personal space is optional.

Creek has been well socialized and does wonderfully with other dogs, children, and cats, making her a great fit for families, multi-pet households, or anyone looking for a puppy with an easygoing, loving temperament. She has a beautifully balanced personality — playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being demanding, and calm enough to settle in and enjoy quiet moments.

As she grows, Creek will be the kind of dog who brings comfort and warmth to everyday life. She’s a loyal companion in the making, ready to curl up beside you at the end of the day and remind you that the simplest moments are often the best ones.

Baye

14 Weeks Old | Female | Mixed Breed
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

💖 Layke 💖
15 Weeks Old | Female | Mixed Breed
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

Layke is a 15-week-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a beautifully calm presence. She’s not the puppy who rushes into the center of the action — instead, she quietly observes, taking everything in with thoughtful eyes and a soft curiosity. And once she decides you’re safe? That’s when she settles in close and gives you her whole heart.

This lovely girl has a deep appreciation for peaceful moments and cozy companionship. Layke is happiest curled up beside her people, resting her head nearby, or easing herself into the perfect cuddle position like it’s an art form she’s mastered. She has a calm, grounding energy that makes you slow down and breathe a little easier just by being near her.

While she has a laid-back nature, Layke absolutely enjoys being a puppy. She likes toys, gentle playtime, and joining in when the mood feels right. She simply understands balance — fun when it’s time to play, rest when it’s time to recharge. Her quiet confidence and adaptability make her an easy companion to fall in love with.

Layke has been well socialized and does wonderfully with other dogs, children, and cats, making her a great fit for families, multi-pet homes, or anyone looking for a puppy with an easygoing, affectionate temperament. She’s loving without being demanding, observant without being shy, and has a way of making you feel chosen when she curls up beside you.

Harper

2 Years Old | Female | Collie Mix (best guess)
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

Meet Harper — a sweet, gentle soul who has officially retired from motherhood and is more than ready to focus on herself for a change.

Harper recently finished caring for her eight puppies, and now that her mom duties are complete, she’s patiently waiting for the forever home she’s been dreaming of. Watching her finally get her chance to just be a dog has been incredibly special — and we can’t wait to see her land exactly where she belongs.

Harper has a wonderfully easy-going personality and a perfect medium energy level. She enjoys playtime, toys, and spending time with other dogs, but she’s just as happy settling in for snuggles and quiet time. She’s not demanding, not overwhelming, and fits seamlessly into daily life — the kind of dog who makes everything feel calmer just by being there.

In her foster home, Harper has shown that she already knows how to be an excellent house dog. She is fully potty trained, kennel trained, and does beautifully with other dogs, cats, and kids. While she is comfortable in a kennel, she doesn’t actually need one — she does great being left out while her foster family is away or asleep, proving she’s trustworthy and well-mannered.

🩺 Spay Information:
Harper is not spayed yet, but that will be taken care of. If she is adopted before her spay is completed, her adopter will pay a $75 spay deposit in addition to her $375 adoption fee. This deposit will be fully refunded once Harper’s spay has been completed, per the adoption agreement.

Harper has spent her last chapter giving everything she had to her puppies. Now it’s her turn to be the one who is loved, prioritized, and spoiled just a little bit (okay… maybe a lot). She’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion, couch buddy, and quiet best friend.

❤️‍🔥 Rusty ❤️‍🔥
1 Year Old | Neutered Male | Mixed Breed (best guess)
📍 Fostered in Kenosha, WI

Rusty is a one-year-old sweetheart with a big personality, an athletic build, and a story that will stay with you. He’s affectionate, smart, and full of life — the kind of dog who brings energy, laughter, and loyalty into a home.

As far as breed goes, we don’t have a DNA test and Rusty isn’t offering up any family records, so we asked the all-knowing AI system. Based on his big upright ears, striking coloring, athletic build, and those famously Husky-coded “I’m judging you” eyes, the best guess is that Rusty is a Husky mix, possibly combined with Shepherd or Australian Kelpie. Whatever the mix may be, one thing is certain: Rusty is 100% good dog.

Rusty is fully housebroken and has excellent manners in the home. He does wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys social play, but we are seeking a cat-free home, as he has a strong interest in chasing them. He is good with kids, though we recommend older children who can match his energetic, playful style.

He is kennel trained and does well on leash. While Rusty uses his crate when his foster parent is away at work, he has proven himself to be very trustworthy and currently free roams at night, usually sleeping peacefully on the couch like he owns the place.

As his breed guesses suggest, Rusty has a high energy level and would thrive with an active family. He loves being outdoors, adores the snow, and takes his toy collection very seriously — especially balls. Rusty will happily chase a ball again and again… and again… and again. (We’re still working on the “drop it” part.)

Rusty is affectionate, loves to snuggle, and is highly motivated by food and treats, which makes him eager to learn and a great candidate for continued training. He is intelligent, engaged, and very ready to keep growing into the best version of himself.

Rusty’s journey
Before coming into foster care, Rusty spent a significant amount of time in a shelter. Prior to that, he was found wandering in a cemetery, where he remained for about a week before a kind woman brought him to safety. We don’t know if the cemetery held meaning from his past or if it was simply a place where he felt comfort — but that chapter of his story deeply touched our hearts.

From surviving on his own… to the safety of a shelter… to the warmth of a foster home — Rusty has come so far. Now, he’s ready for the final chapter of his story: a forever home where he will be loved, chosen, and never left behind again.
