In honor of National Mutt Day today, let’s meet the marvelous mutts of Varsity and our sister agencies. While mixed-breed dogs sometimes get overlooked, we think you’ll agree it’s pretty impossible to ignore these particular puppers. Whether a mix of just two breeds — or those veritable “Heinz 57-variety” pooches — they’re a big part of our lives, and truly our four-legged best friends.
While these happy hounds clearly have loving homes, there are so many mutts out there that are seeking adoption. Consider this our plug for all those mutts who need a home.
Here are our good bois and girls.
