About Pickle

Pickle Needs a Foster or Adopter by 5/29/26 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin Pickle is currently in a foster home in Georgia and is looking for a foster or adopter to secure his spot on the transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 5/29/26. A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we're hoping the right person will give him the second chance he deserves. Meet Pickle Pickle is a 3-year-old Red Heeler/Bully mix who is ready to start over after a heartbreaking loss. He originally came into the kill shelter as a return after the passing of his owner-through no fault of his own, his whole world was turned upside down when the person he loved most was gone. Now safe in a foster home in Georgia, Pickle is patiently waiting for his next chapter. He's the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with his people and truly wants nothing more than to be close to them. Pickle is a classic 'velcro dog' who loves to follow his person from room to room, just happy to be near you whether you're relaxing, working, or going about your day. Pickle is also a big, lovable boy who enjoys the simple joys in life-snacks, a comfy bed, and a good game of fetch. He'll happily chase a ball with enthusiasm, though retrieving it is still a work in progress (he has his own interpretation of the game). He's also very smart and eager to please, showing off a perfect sit when treats are involved. More than anything, Pickle is a loyal, affectionate dog who just wants a person of his own again. A home where he can feel safe, loved, and included will mean everything to him. He is currently 70lbs, but is working on losing some of the extra fluff.
