Story
Meet Mochi Mochi is a 3.5-year-old female Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix with a playful spirit and a sensitive heart. She’s great with dogs and kids, house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on leash. Mochi absolutely loves bouncy balls and will happily play fetch for as long as you’ll throw! She enjoys running and staying active, so a home with a yard would be ideal. She can be anxious and tends to bark when startled by loud noises or someone at the door. Mochi also has occasional submissive peeing, which has improved with confidence-building but still happens at times. She’ll do best with a patient, understanding adopter who can help her continue gaining confidence. Mochi was rescued as a puppy after being abandoned with her siblings and is now looking for a new home due to recent life changes. With love, patience, and playtime, Mochi will make a loyal and fun companion. January 19, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
Meet Jinx! If you’re looking for a fun, spirited, and loyal adventure buddy — Jinx might just be your perfect match! This gorgeous 2–3-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix weighs about 60 pounds and has all the best traits of both breeds: beauty, brains, and a whole lot of personality! Jinx is spayed, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, house trained, and walks well on a leash. She’s a high-energy girl who loves to play hard and run fast — sometimes so fast you’ll swear she’s part bunny with the way she hops and jumps! Because of her playful style, she’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where she has room to stretch her legs and burn off energy. Jinx gets along great with other dogs, though her enthusiasm can be a bit much for calmer or senior pups. When she’s in full play mode with another dog, she can get a little rambunctious and has accidentally knocked over a child who was in the middle of the action — so supervision and space during dog playtime is important. That said, Jinx is incredibly gentle, patient, and kind with children. She is currently living with toddler foster child who is still learning how to properly interact with animals. Even with his grabbing (which her caregivers are actively working to correct), Jinx has remained calm and tolerant. She truly has a sweet and forgiving nature with kids. She’s also good with cats, making her a great fit for many multi-pet homes. True to her Husky roots, Jinx loves to “talk” and share her thoughts in the most adorable ways. She’s sweet, loving, and full of life — just needs someone who can match her energy and give her the exercise and attention she deserves. Jinx can be shy or fearful around men, which suggests she may have had a rough experience in the past, but with patience and kindness, she warms up and shows what a wonderful dog she truly is. She’s not destructive — though she might sneak a chew on a toy when left alone — and she’s always ready to love and be loved. Jinx is ready to hop, play, and chat her way into your heart — could she be your new best friend? January 28, 2026, 10:30 am

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,
Story
Bear is the perfect blend of cuddle buddy and playful pal. One minute he’s zooming around having the time of his life, and the next he’s melting into you for snuggles like he was made for it. Bear is currently 3 months old. This friendly little guy has been amazing with kids, cats, and every dog he’s met — basically, Bear believes everyone is his best friend. If you’re looking for a pup who fits right into a loving home, he’s already got a gold star in the social department. Bear is still learning the ropes with potty training (progress is happening… slowly but surely!), but he’s a smart cookie who already sits on command like a champ — especially when treats are part of the deal. As for breed? Check out the DNA test done on one of his siblings. We have them listed as Shar Pei and Golden, however, there are other breeds in there too! What we do know, hes 100% a good boy! If you’re ready for a happy, affectionate pup who will play hard, love big, and grow right alongside your family, Bear can’t wait to meet you! My Adoption Fee is $350.00February 9, 2026, 9:32 pm
