Lickity Split is full of love and personality. She enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring, and playing with a variety of toys. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is gentle around children, making her a true family-friendly companion.

She is making excellent progress with house training and is already crate trained, showing she can be trusted when left alone for short periods. One of her favorite things is cuddling with her humans; she loves attention and thrives on affection. She’s also quite playful and has a silly side—she even won a costume contest!

She is looking for a family that can give her moderate exercise, plenty of love, and mental stimulation to keep her happy and healthy.  December 1, 2025, 5:12 pm

Story
Name: Kip Age: 4.5 years Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie  Weight: 37 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes- dog-savvy cat's please who like to play! Child friendly: Yes- older considerate children, please House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Energy level: Moderate  Temperament: Friendly, Affectionate, Eager to Please Home Requirements:  Not apartment-appropriate; could be suitable for a duplex or condo Adoption Fee: $375+tax To adopt, go to: www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Kip is a sweet, affectionate boy who has overcome a difficult past and is ready to shower his forever family with love! Despite having been abandoned, Kip has shown us nothing but kindness and trust. He shows zero signs of aggression and is incredibly cuddly - he'll be your constant companion and shadow. He came to us a bit anxious at first, but adjusted to our home quickly and has really blossomed. Kip is whip-smart and attentive, already knowing "sit," "down," and "shake" - and he's always eager to learn more. He listens really well and is a joy to have around. He gets along great with both our resident dogs. This boy is always ready to go go go! He has moderate to active energy and would thrive with an active family who can give him regular exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of adventures. He's both house trained and crate trained, which makes him an easy houseguest. Kip gets a little sad and nervous when someone leaves the house. We're still working on his excitement when new people come over because he just loves meeting everyone. With his intelligence and willingness to learn, we know he'll continue to improve with consistency and positive reinforcement. Kip deserves a patient, loving home that can provide him with structure, activity, and all the affection he's been missing. About Me: Hi, I'm Kip! I'm a 4.5-year-old boy who's ready to leave my past behind and focus on all the adventures ahead. I'm a smart and friendly guy who loves to learn new things and make my people proud. I know several commands already and I'm always watching for the next cue - I really want to be a good boy! I have plenty of energy for adventures, playtime, and outdoor fun - I'm basically ready to go at a moment's notice! But I also love snuggle time, and I'll happily curl up right next to you (okay, maybe on top of you) whenever possible. Personal space? Never heard of it! I get along wonderfully with other dogs, so if you have furry friends at home, we'll be best buddies in no time. What I really need is a family who can give me the love and security I've been craving. I promise to give you my whole heart in return. I'm looking for an active, patient family who can help me continue building my confidence and teach me even more cool tricks. Are you ready for a loyal, loving companion who will never leave your side?      December 29, 2025, 2:48 pm

Story
Kitsu came to us as a stray, a little rough around the edges but full of quiet charm. He’s about 2 years old, with soft eyes and a heart that’s learning to trust again. He’s observant, and loves gentle pats — but don’t let his mellow vibe fool you. Kitsu has a mischievous side too… especially when it comes to digging! Whether he’s searching for buried treasure or just enjoying the feel of dirt between his paws, this boy loves a good backyard excavation. Age: ~ 2 years Personality: Full of energy, sweet, and secretly silly Quirk: Loves to dig — a fenced yard and a sandbox would be a dream! Kitsu is looking for a patient, loving home where he can feel safe, be himself, and maybe have a little dirt to call his own. Could you be the one to give this gentle digger his forever home?
