About the Rescue

Why the Rescue Started

Mission Mutt Dog Rescue was founded by Madison Kossow

After graduating from high school and moving to Tallahassee to attend Florida State University, I decided to establish my non-profit, Mission Mutt Dog Rescue. Drawing from years of volunteering and fostering with a local rescue in South Florida, I felt compelled to create a foster-based organization with a focus on rescuing dogs from kill shelters. Every year, countless dogs and puppies face euthanasia due to overcrowding—a heartbreaking reality I aim to combat. 

With Mission Mutt Dog Rescue, my goal is to rescue and find homes for as many dogs as our resources allow, one dog at a time.
