Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, trains, and find homes for dogs from Kern County’s high-kill animal shelters. The organization also utilizes the rescued dogs to transform people’s lives. Through the power of the human-canine bond, Marley’s Mutts empowers dogs and people to live healthy, happy and productive lives. Studies have proved that human interaction with dogs is beneficial for one’s physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Miracle Mutts is Marley’s Mutts’ community outreach and education initiative, through which volunteers utilize therapy dogs for comforting interactivity, emotional and social enrichment, addiction recovery programs, and job-skills training for a wide range of youth and adult populations across Kern County. On March 23, 2018, Marley’s Mutts volunteers graciously donated their time to visit participants at GEO's Central Valley MCCF. The interest in the visit was extremely popular, causing the need to host several educational sessions in order to accommodate all who expressed interest. The participants expressed appreciation and joy when interacting with the dogs.
