Mutt Mansion Missions

Donation protected







Hey there. My name is Steve and I'm setting up this page for those interested in supporting The Mutt Runners, Junior Mutt Runners, The Mutt Mansion and Mutt Mansion Missions.


The Mutt Runners is a dog running service and the Mutt Mansion is a doggie-daycare located in Hampton, VA.

Junior Mutt Runners - is a Youth Mentorship program designed to teach children leadership skills through pet-care, while promoting fitness and discouraging bullying.

Our Mutt Masters teach Mutt Manners (behavior modification training) at the Mutt Mansion. The Mutt Masters eliminate all sorts of undesired behavior (fear, aggression, dominance, separation anxiety, etc).

The Mutt Masters use these skills to help homeless dogs during Mutt Mansion Missions.

“Mutt Mansion Missions” is a dog rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing program.

We foster challenging pups at the Mutt Mansion and free up space for rescue organizations, so they can save new pups.

Once the foster learns its Mutt Manners, we have the Mutt Matchmaker hook up the pup with a compatible forever family.

You can track the pup's progress by following "The Mutt Runners" on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and Ustream.TV








Dogs Deserve Better moved to Smithfield, Virginia in 2011 to open the Good Newz Rehab Center for Chained and Penned Dogs.

They are located at the site of Michael Vick's former Bad Newz Kennels, transforming it daily to a rescue home for chained dogs.

Their immediate and current goal is to raise $200,000 to build an addition onto the current small facility to double the number of dogs they can help at any given time to 25.

After visiting the Good Newz Rehab Center and witnessing the amazing care they provide for their pups, I offered them 13 permanent foster beds (since they are limited to caring for 13 dogs at their location, this partnership will allow them to double the amount of dogs they can rescue and rehabilitate).

After they toured the Mutt Mansion and evaluated my pack leadership skills, they accepted my offer to foster.

We’re currently sharing our rehabilitation techniques and learning as much as we can from each other. The goal is to develop the most efficient rehabilitation process and provide the best training and care a dog can receive.


The Mutt Mansion will focus on providing the exercise these chained/penned pups desire and require. They’ll get to move freely and run for the first time. We’ll also provide leadership, structure and teach the pups how to coexist with a pack.

We’ll handle the pups that need to find balance and stability by helping them gain confidence, conquer their fears and modify any dominant behavior. Once they’re ready, they’ll move into the Good Newz Rehab Center to complete the rehabilitation process.


We all believe Dogs Deserve Better, so we’re working hard to provide them with the best.

Currently, we raise $1,000 to cover rescue expenses for each pup.

$1,000 covers the first 3 weeks (room, board, food, medical attention, etc) and I cover the rest of their stay. Fosters usually stay 6-9 weeks before finding a compatible family.

Each time we raise $1,000, we rescue another dog (sometimes I offer a "save 2 for the price of 1" deal)


Once we meet our GoFundMe.com goal, we won’t need to raise money for future missions and the live video feed will be activated via Ustream.TV


We’ll set up multiple cameras & provide a 24/7 video feed, so our clients, sponsors & supporters may tune in to check in on the pack & learn how to improve their pack leadership skills.

$3,000 - Pogo


Pogo: 3 year old American Bulldog Mix, neutered and up-to-date on all shots.

Several months ago, Rowan County Animal Control was killing off a whole run of 6 dogs. Pogo was scheduled to be killed, but was pulled for a woman at the last minute. She decided a few days later that she didn’t want Pogo anymore, so he landed in a temporary foster home where he lived in the garage and was too much for his foster mom to handle. After she had stated she was going to put him down, “How To Save a Life Rescue” took him in. At first, he seemed like a fun boy with lots of energy, but he eventually started to display dominant behavior towards other dogs.”

Mr. Pogo will come hang with me at the #MuttMansion and learn #MuttManners. Once he’s rehabilitated, the #MuttMatchMaker will hook him up with a compatible pack/family.




$6,000 - Ms. Quinn






Daisy and Rosy - $7,000


Daisy and Rosy were hiding in corners when they first arrived at the Mutt Mansion. Within 2 days, they were hanging out with the pack :-)

Gideon was very dominant towards human males until we started the running and rehabilitation process :-)

Max (Lab/Collie mix) - $13,000
