Story
🐾 Meet Cookie! 🐾 This sweet boy is a male Chihuahua mix who’s ready to find his forever home! 💙 ✅ Neutered ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Microchipped ✅ House-trained Cookie is playful, affectionate, and LOVES roughhousing with other dogs. He’s also a total cuddlebug who enjoys sleeping in bed with his people and giving kisses. He’s smart, listens well, and loves being part of the action! 😘 He currently lives in a foster home with dogs, chickens, and birds — and gets along great with all of them. He will chase cats if they run, so a confident cat is best. 💬 He’s cautious with new people and will bark to let you know he’s unsure, so he needs a home that’s patient and willing to give him time to settle in and build trust. ❗️No young kids — Cookie does best in a calmer environment with adults or older, respectful teens. 🐕‍🦺 We’d love to see him in a home with another playful dog — he really thrives when he has a buddy! 🏃‍♂️ He’s an active little guy, so his ideal home will be one that enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping him engaged. 📍Ready to meet him? Apply today at: www.mainstreetmuttrescue.com Give Cookie the chance to settle in — and he’ll reward you with endless love. 🐶❤️ #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ChihuahuaMix #PlayfulPup #MainStreetMuttRescue #AdoptCookie

Story
Petey’s journey started in Puna, where he was found roaming with a group of dogs before coming to us through our life-saving partnership with County of Hawai‘i Animal Control. Now this 9-month-old pup is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and most importantly — ready to find his forever home! Petey is past the hard part and excited for what’s next: a family to love, adventures to go on, and a couch to claim as his own. 🐾💙

Story
🔥 Meet Phoenix — A True Love Bug 🔥 Phoenix is a 3-year-old pit bull with a heart full of love and a serious talent for cuddling. She absolutely adores people and just wants to be by your side — preferably soaking up sunshine or snoozing near her favorite human. She has lived successfully with older children (ages 10 & 12) and has been introduced to a 4-year-old, doing wonderfully with all of them. Phoenix is gentle, affectionate, and thrives on human companionship. In everyday life, Phoenix is a great balance of playful and relaxed. She gets short bursts of energy (hello, 5-minute zoomies!) and then is perfectly content to lounge for the rest of the day. Her favorite toy is a stuffed sheep. She’s not destructive and prefers to gently nibble her toys rather than shred them. Phoenix has been going on daily walks with her foster parents and has made great progress with her leash manners. She can be left alone in the house for extended periods. She currently sleeps on her dog bed in the main living space but would happily share a bed with her human if invited. She is a quick learner and eager to please. Phoenix bell-trained herself to go outside in just one day and has learned several commands in foster care. While she is not fully crate trained, her fosters have started positive crate introductions and she is doing well so far. Phoenix will need to be an only dog. She comes from a home where she was regularly attacked by another dog, so she can be skittish and defensive around unfamiliar dogs. Because of this, her forever home should be with someone experienced, patient, and committed to continuing her confidence-building. Phoenix doesn’t need to be a “go everywhere, do everything” kind of dog. She’s happiest at home, in a calm, predictable environment, and with time and positive experiences her confidence will continue to grow. She has successfully done side-by-side leash work with other dogs and is making steady, encouraging progress. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, a snuggle partner, and a dog who will bond deeply with her person — Phoenix might be your perfect match.
