The prospects of searches for anomalous production of hadronically decaying weak boson pairs at proposed high-energy muon colliders are reported. Muon-muon collision events are simulated at $\sqrt{ s}=6$, 10, and 30 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4$, $10$, and $10$ ab$^{ -1}$, respectively. Simulated $\mu\mu\rightarrow\mathrm{ W}\mathrm{ W}+\nu\nu/\mu\mu$ events are used to set expected constraints on the structure of quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of a dimension-8 effective field theory. Similarly, $\mu\mu\rightarrow\mathrm{ W}\mathrm{ W}/\mathrm{ Z}\mathrm{ Z}+\nu\nu$ events are used to report constraints on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for vector boson fusion production of a heavy neutral Higgs boson decaying to weak boson pairs. These results are interpreted in the context of the Georgi-Machacek model.
