Meet Mozzie (short for Mozzarella, of course!)77 lbs of pure "brick house" energy, this 2-year-old baddie was found living as a stray outside a pizzeria and honestly?

If you've been searching for a bestie who's big, bold, and totally in charge of her own destiny...she's your girl. Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to fill out an application.

Story
That's not a baked potato, btw. That's actually a Cheez It. Of the canine variety. Cheez It is 3 years old, about 50 lbs, and quite possibly the world's most adorable low rider. She's a gentle soul who has absolutely no interest in rushing through life. Spending time with her has a way of making the world slow down a little. Consider this your sign to stop scrolling and come meet your new couch potato...or, more appropriately, couch cracker. Click the link in our bio to learn more about adopting Cheez It.
