Nathaniel

Age: 5 months
Sex: Male
Breed: Chihuahua / Poodle Mix
Foster Location: Kenosha, WI

Nathaniel is ready to start the New Year exactly where he belongs — in a home of his very own. Now 5 months old, this scruffy, spirited Chihuahua/Poodle mix has grown into a confident, joyful puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s expected to mature into a wonderful medium-sized dog, approximately 20–30 pounds, making him the perfect “not too big, not too small” companion.

Nathaniel has a bold, playful spark that makes him impossible to ignore. He approaches life with enthusiasm, prancing proudly with his toys and treating every squeaky like it’s the most important mission of the day. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and he brings a lighthearted, goofy energy wherever he goes.

When the fun winds down, Nathaniel happily shifts gears into cuddle mode. He loves curling up with his people and has a naturally affectionate, cozy side that makes him a wonderful companion for quiet moments just as much as active ones.

Nathaniel is very well socialized and does great with other dogs, cats, and children. He is kennel trained, doing well with potty training and leash training, and he thrives on praise and positive reinforcement. He’s a smart, eager-to-please puppy who enjoys learning and being part of a routine.

With his scruffy charm, joyful personality, and balanced energy, Nathaniel would do beautifully in a variety of homes — whether that’s an active family, a home with other pets, or someone looking for a playful but snuggly companion to grow with. As the New Year approaches, Nathaniel is hoping this is the year his waiting ends and his forever begins.

Stella Rose | 2 Years Old | Female | Blue Nose Bully Mix
Fostered in Pleasant Prairie, WI

Stella Rose is a compact, sweet-natured blue nose bully mix with a heart as warm as her soft, stocky little body. Though she may appear larger in photos, Stella weighs in at just 45 pounds and has that perfect “small but solid” build that makes her an ideal snuggle companion.

Stella is a well-mannered, calm, and loving dog who has already mastered many household basics. She is potty trained, kennel trained, and walks well on leash. Her temperament is gentle and easygoing, with a medium-to-low energy level that makes her a wonderful fit for families who enjoy a calmer, steady companion. She loves to relax, nap near her people, and spend quiet time hanging out around the home.

Even with her laid-back nature, Stella Rose still enjoys playtime. Her absolute favorite toy is her special green ball, and she loves tug of war and carrying around her stuffies. She plays well with other dogs, does great with children, and enjoys being part of the family routine.

Her foster mom describes her as sweet, loving, playful, and eager to please. Stella has also begun working with a professional trainer. Her future adopters will be given helpful guidance and information so they can continue reinforcing these skills and helping her succeed.

Stella Rose loves to be close to her people and truly believes she’s a lap dog. She will happily curl up with you and soak in all the affection she can get.

Jasper

3 Years Old | Neutered Male
Fostered in Burlington, WI

Jasper is a fun-loving, affectionate, and loyal boy who is ready to find the person he can bond with for life. With his bright eyes, joyful spirit, and sweet personality, he brings a little extra light into every space he enters.

At 3 years old, Jasper has the perfect mix of energy and maturity. He loves to play — especially at the park — and his medium-to-high energy level makes him a great match for someone who enjoys daily activity, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a walk in the neighborhood, or zoomies around the yard, Jasper is always up for some fun.

But beneath that playful exterior is a deeply loving dog who just wants to be close to his person. He enjoys leaning in for affection, curling up nearby when it’s time to relax, and being part of whatever you're doing throughout the day. He truly thrives on companionship.

Jasper is wonderfully well-mannered, too. He is kennel trained, potty trained, and leash trained, and he gets along great with other dogs, kids, and cats — an incredibly easy dog to welcome into your home.

The only thing Jasper struggles with is meeting new people. He can be anxious or fearful at first, but with patience, reassurance, and consistency, he opens up beautifully. Once he trusts you, he bonds hard — the kind of once-in-a-lifetime loyalty that makes all the difference.

If you’re looking for a playful adventure buddy, a devoted companion, and a dog who will love you wholeheartedly, Jasper may be the perfect fit.

Turbo

Age: 11 months
Sex: Male
Foster Location: Kenosha, WI

Turbo is an energetic, affectionate young dog who truly lives life in the fast lane. Far from his snail-inspired name, this Turbo is all enthusiasm, curiosity, and joy. We believe he is a Husky/Pitbull mix, which explains his athletic build, intelligence, and big, fun-loving personality. He approaches every day ready for adventure and eager to be involved in whatever his people are doing.

At just 11 months old, Turbo is still very much a puppy at heart. He is playful, spirited, and always up for a good game with toys, whether that’s chasing balls, chewing on his favorite chew toys, or proudly carrying around a stuffy. He thrives on activity and would do best in a home that enjoys staying active and engaged with their dog. Another playful dog in the home would be a great match for him, as he does very well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship.

Turbo is also smart and highly food motivated, which makes training both productive and enjoyable. He is kennel trained, sleeps in his crate overnight, does well on a leash, and is continuing to fine-tune his potty training. With consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement, Turbo has all the potential to grow into an excellent, well-mannered adult dog.

Social by nature, Turbo does great with kids and is reported to be good with cats as well. Despite his high energy, he also has a goofy, affectionate side that makes him incredibly lovable. He enjoys attention, bonds strongly with his people, and brings a lot of laughter and personality into a home.

Turbo is looking for a family who can keep up with his zest for life, provide him with guidance as he continues to mature, and appreciate his playful spirit. With the right match, he will make a loyal, entertaining, and loving companion.

Roman — A Brilliant, Spirited Ray of Sunshine

Foster Location: Beach Park, IL
Age: 23 Weeks Old • Male • Catahoula x Pittie Mix

Roman is the kind of puppy who seems to carry sunshine wherever he goes. With one warm honey-brown eye and one striking icy-blue eye, he has a presence that immediately captures attention. People stop in their tracks to admire him — and Roman, with his joyful grin and playful confidence, is happy to greet every admirer.

When Roman first arrived at Mastro Mutts, he was struggling with flea dermatitis. His skin was irritated, he was uncomfortable, and he simply didn’t feel good. With proper care, treatment, and the safety of a loving foster home, he healed beautifully. His coat now shines, his skin is healthy, and his bright personality has come alive.

Today, Roman is a spirited, intelligent, and affectionate young dog who is ready for a home of his own. He is potty trained, kennel trained, and does wonderfully on leash. He’s superbly social and gets along well with other dogs, is gentle and respectful with cats, and adores kids. Roman has a naturally friendly, open personality — he truly believes the world is full of friends.

Roman has a high energy level and thrives on activity, enrichment, and engagement. He loves playing with toys of all kinds and approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity. Despite his lively spirit, Roman is deeply devoted to his people. He bonds closely, loves deeply, and has a way of making his humans feel like the center of his world.

Roman would do best with someone who has time, energy, and a willingness to include him in daily life. An active adopter or family who enjoys walks, playtime, training, and adventures would be a wonderful match for him. With continued guidance, consistency, and love, Roman has the potential to grow into a truly exceptional companion.

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

Charger — A Heart of Gold for Her Golden Years

Foster Location: Kenosha, WI
Age: 10 Years Old • Female • Labrador Retriever Mix

Charger is a remarkable senior girl with a gentle spirit, a bright soul, and a whole lot of life left to enjoy. At 10 years old, she embodies the perfect blend of youthful energy and mature calm. She still plays with the enthusiasm of a younger dog, yet she also knows how to settle in, relax, and soak up the love around her.

She originally came to us after her previous owner experienced medical challenges that made it impossible to continue caring for her. Charger was dearly loved, and it shows in her sweet nature, her trust in people, and her quiet confidence. We are honored to help her find a new forever home — one where she can continue to thrive.

Charger is fully potty trained, having only a couple of minor accidents when she first arrived while adjusting to her new routine. She is wonderful with other dogs, respectful of cats, and excellent with children. She is kennel trained, though she rarely needs to be kenneled because she is such a well-behaved girl. On leash, she walks beautifully and stays right by your side, making outings enjoyable and easy.

She has excellent recall and knows all her basic commands, including “in” when asked to go into her kennel. Charger loves toys — especially tennis balls — and enjoys a mix of playtime and relaxation. She also appreciates the little luxuries in life, such as a cozy dog bed, warm blankets, and the occasional shared bite of dinner with her human.

Charger sleeps soundly through the night, whether she’s curled up in her foster parent’s bed or resting comfortably in her orthopedic dog bed. She adjusts well to routines and brings a sense of peace and joy into the home.

Because she came to us so well cared for, we have set her adoption fee low. Her foster mom is committed to being selective simply because Charger is extraordinary and deserves a forever home filled with love, stability, and kindness.

If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will brighten your days and bring warmth to your home, Charger may be the perfect match. She has so much love left to give and is ready to begin her next chapter.

Available for adoption on or after 12/28

Buffy is one of three precious puppies who came into rescue needing to be bottle-fed around the clock. From those delicate early days, she has grown into a beautiful, sweet-natured little girl with a gentle soul and a quietly observant personality.

Among her siblings, Buffy is the thoughtful one. She likes to take in her surroundings before joining the fun, watching the world with soft curiosity. Once she’s comfortable, she becomes incredibly affectionate—she loves giving the sweetest little kisses and leaning in for snuggles.

Even though she has a gentle demeanor, Buffy is not intimidated by larger dogs at all. She plays confidently with bigger pups, enjoys romping with her siblings, and appreciates the comfort of being part of a happy, bustling foster home. She’s a quiet girl who brings a calm presence to the room and bonds deeply with the humans she trusts.

💚 Grinch | 11 Weeks Old | Male | Fostered in Kenosha, WI

On Christmas Eve, when the world feels a little softer and the lights glow just a bit warmer, a small puppy named Grinch steps into the spotlight — not to steal Christmas, but to quietly hope someone will give him a place to belong.

Grinch is an 11-week-old sweetheart who starts off a bit shy, watching the world with gentle, curious eyes. He likes to take a moment before diving into new situations, but once he realizes you’re a safe and loving human, everything changes. His tail begins to wag, his whole body relaxes, and his little heart seems to stretch and grow, just like the story that inspired his name.

He has been wonderfully socialized and does beautifully with dogs, cats, and children. Grinch plays kindly, warms up quickly, and thrives when he feels secure. He does well in his kennel when needed and is working diligently on all his puppy foundations: potty training, leash manners, and basic commands.

Grinch has a lovely, even-keel energy level. He enjoys playtime, but he is just as content curling up beside you, settling into a peaceful snuggle as the world winds down. He is sweet, gentle, thoughtful, and incredibly endearing — a puppy who bonds deeply and loves sincerely.

If you’re searching for a companion who will grow in confidence with you, trust you wholeheartedly, and fill your home with quiet joy and warmth, Grinch may be the perfect match. He is ready to leave his little Mount Crumpit behind and find a forever family who will let his heart grow bigger every single day.
