THE LEAGUE HAS ADOPTED OUT OVER 1.2 MILLION ANIMALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1944. THE MUTT-I-GREES INITIATIVE WAS IMPLEMENTED NATIONALLY BY THE LEAGUE AS A KEY ELEMENT IN INCREASING SHELTER PET ADOPTIONS IN AN EFFORT TO ELEVATE MIXED BREED DOGS TO A HIGHER STATUS IN THE EYES OF POTENTIAL ADOPTERS. OUR ADOPTERS ARE ASKED TO ADD THEIR NEWLY ADOPTED PET AS WELL AS ANY OTHER SHELTER RESCUE PETS THAT THEY HAVE OWN TO OUR MUTT-I-GREES REGISTRY. THIS INCLUDED THEM AS PART OF THE MUTT-I-GREES COMMUNITY, WHICH ELEVATES THE VALUE OF ALL MUTT-I-GREES (SHELTER AND RESCUED ANIMALS) TO REDUCE ANIMAL CRUELTY.

THE GOAL OF THE MUTT-I-GREES CURRICULUM IS TO ENABLE CHILDREN TO GROW UP TO BE CALM, CONFIDENT AND CARING. THE CURRICULUM TEACHES SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND IS UNIQUE IN ITS BRIDGING OF HUMANE EDUCATION AND SEL IS A PROCESS BY WHICH CHILDREN LEARN TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS, GET ALONG WITH OTHERS, HAVE EMPATHY AND COMPASSION, AND DISCOVER ESSENTIAL TEAMWORK SKILLS, THESE SKILLS ARE IMPORTANT IN LIFE, BUT ALSO IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. STUDIES SHOW THAT CHILDREN DO BETTER IN SCHOOL WHEN THEY ARE SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY COMPETENT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CURRICULUM IS VIEWED AS A SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL PATH TO A NO-KILL NATION, A PATH THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ADOPTION OF A DOG OR CAT FROM A SHELTER AS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE CHOICE FOR YOUNG ADULTS TO MAKE.
