Story
Mochi is a one dog party! He is the definition of entertainment. From his silly smile to sudden zoomies, Mochi will make your life better. As he is a senior pup, he has his preferences. Mochi will do best with older kids and would need to meet any potential dog siblings first. However, if you don`t have any dogs he would love to be your most needy child...belly rubs will be ordered hourly!

Story
Alpha got to spend the day out of the shelter on a date! He did great! He loved having his head out of the window and feeling the breeze on his face.This is how his date described the day: `We went to many different places! We went to Dorostkar Park, then Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, then In-N-Out for a pup patty, and we cruised around a little to let him feel the wind. He had so much speed in him and he let us know when he wanted to leave by taking us back to the car. He pulled a little but nothing too crazy. I noticed he already knew how to sit and shake, and did it first try! He followed his nose the whole way and we let him lead.` What a great experience for Alpha and his date.

Story
Gemini is a pup with a bright future. He has lived with and loved kids, however he can be selective with his doggo friends. Through thoughtful research, Gemini has determined that his best canine relationships start with slow interactions. He really likes to meet and get to know some other pups before he commits to a long term relationship. This boy is smart. He knows many commands and has polite house manners. The only limit to what he can learn is the amount of time and treats you want to share with him. Gemini hopes both your time and treats are endless.

Story
My name’s Waylon, and I’ve been around the block a few times—enough to know that life is best enjoyed with a wagging tail and a gentle heart. I’m an older pup, which means I’ve mastered the art of snuggles, slow strolls, and soaking up every sunny spot I can find. My muzzle may be a little gray, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve still got plenty of love and a dash of adventure left in me.
