Whiz Pawlifa was rescued from a Georgia shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list due to failure to thrive. After coming to Mikaela’s Mutt Motel, we observed significant anxiety and undesirable behaviors. Whiz Pawlifa was finally adopted after an extensive amount of time, but the adoption was unsuccessful. He was then adopted and returned several more times.

It was determined that the best outcome for Whiz is to live his life at our trainer’s home where he receives the mental and physical exercise that he truly needs.

At Mikaela’s Mutt Motel, “forever fosters” are dogs who reside in permanent foster homes rather than being available for traditional adoption. These dogs have been identified by our veterinarian as having significant medical or behavioral challenges that make them unsuitable for standard adoption placements. We choose to feature these dogs on our website to maintain transparency about all the Mutts under our care, ensuring the public is fully informed about the animals we support.
