Story
  STEVEN  This brave canine hasn’t had it easy in life, running loose and fending for himself for about a month before he was finally rescued. Initially, he was terrified of humans, which is understandable. When we brought him home, our sweet boy immediately revealed his true nature, showing us just how special he truly is. Despite the hardships he faced, he has become the epitome of love and affection.  He adores snuggles! There is nothing he loves more than curling up in your lap for some quality cuddle time. Prepare for your heart to melt as his big, soulful eyes gaze up at you with pure adoration! To keep this clever canine entertained, all you need is a few toys and some bones. He's always up for a game of fetch or a chew session, and his goofy energy will give you regular laughs.Plus, his amazing compatibility with other dogs means he would be an excellent addition to a multi-pet household, bringing harmony and wagging tails all around. Steven is perfect in every way, from his adorable appearance to his heart of gold & will come neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He is approximately 10 months old and weighs roughly 32 pounds. He is good with kids and cats.  ##1858448##

Story
Millie is a cuddly, energetic, smart girl who is looking for a new home. She is about 15 lbs, an estimated 4-5 years old, potty trained and kennel trained. She loves to cuddle on the couch but also run around and get the zoomies. Good with babies/kids and other dogs of all sizes. Hasn’t been around cats before, but I’m sure she would be good with the right introduction. She does have a heart murmur and is not spayed because of that, but otherwise her murmur has had no effect on her health or quality of life.

Story
Ayo is a handsome large dog that is Embark tested and came back as a German Shepherd Alaskan Malamute mix. He arrived to the Mission from Carbon County Animal Services in Utah when he was past his euthanasia date for lack of space. He is approximately 75lbs and has an estimated birthdate of 01/02/2021.  Ayo is seeking the atypical adopter that may not be suitable to the average dog. He is very much a one person/one family dog, and thrives while riding in the car, so his ideal adopter could be a trucker, van lifer/traveler, rural homebody that may not like to go out often etc. He wants a simple life with a reliable person, and if they want to take him to the lake to go swimming on a regular basis, then life couldn't get any sweeter.  He has learned sit, how to wait at a doorway, loves to go for car rides, aced many amazing adventures into the great outdoors, and has become a great snuggle buddy and showering assistant, carefully licking the water drops off of his person's legs. He also loves to be groomed and took the entire process in stride like an old pro, even leaning into the force dryer to get a better feel of the warm stream of air. Ayo has not been able to acclimate to other animals in a consistent and safe manner, so while he's still very easy to take for walks and other outings in the midst of other animals, it will be the safest option for him to be the only animal in the home. He is also very over aroused around small children, so a home with teens and up would be ideal.  Ayo's best feature is that he loves playing ball, and he's so eager to fetch that it's by and large the simplest path to teach him. Ayo also has a nice willing personality naturally which will help him learn new skills and trust more environments and people without shutting down.  To see Ayo's complete Embark profile, click here:  http://embk.me/ayo8?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark Ayo comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. His adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, martingale collar, herm sprenger prong collar, ID tag, food sample and paperwork. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy!  ##1472725##

Story
Chase is a hilarious and energetic ChiBull mutt of some sort with an estimated birthdate of 12/13/2022. He came to the Mission during a medical crisis in which his family had run out of funds and options to care for him. If it's a disaster, it's probably happened to poor Chase in his first 10 months of life. He has had his leg broken, suffers from a neurological wobble of unknown origin, and barely scraped by when we received him and treated him for a very severe respiratory infection and pneumonia. Chase is also extremely unsocialized, having clearly missed the mark on experiencing the world through positive and predictable interactions with the stimulus around him and he can be very fearful when encountering new things.  Chase will be the kind of dog who needs a dedicated adopter who is not a push over and can set a clear path to success for him when it comes to socializing. There should be very little tolerance for reactivity and disproportionate responses to things that are not worth being afraid of, and there should be ample praise and reward for calmness and reasonable responses to the sights and sounds of the world.  At this time Chase still wobbles when he walks, and although we don't know the origin of the instability, we have seen remarkable improvement and expect he will maintain or continue to improve, however without a clear diagnosis, there is a possibility that future degeneration in stability is possible.  Chase has great potential as a companion in a quiet home or with someone who like a mild degree of adventure. He would be a good road trip and travel buddy, but he would also be satisfied to be a home body and just be your constant friend while the years pass by. Loyalty is hard to come by these days, but Chase is willing to be your reminder that there's still plenty to find when you look in the right places.  Chase comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $300 and includes a sample of the food he's been eating, a leash, collar, and ID tag. To be considered to adopt Chase, please visit www.murcismission.org and send in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy! ##1824775##

Story
Olympic AKA Oly is a beautiful, fun, and energetic Rottweiler bully mix with an estimated birthdate of 06/11/2023. She came to us from our partners at SCRAPS with her 13 babies in tow. She may have arrived fearful and emaciated, but she has crushed all of our expectations, proving to be a truly excellent dog hidden behind a lack of life experience and opportunity for learning.   Oly has become a truly epic dog, hiking reliably off lead and on lead, learning dock diving, running along side the bike, competing in a sanctioned all breed racing trial and taking home two championship points by winning all three of her heats, and through hiking the 44 mile Kettle Crest Trail with her foster family in 3 days. Oly is a dog who will always rise to the occasion and whoever adopts her is going to be an extremely lucky person.   Oly has displayed safe behavior around dogs and children. She would do best in a home with no cats.  Oly really Is a wonderful dog with nothing holding her back from living a beautiful life with the right person by her side. If you've been looking for the perfect mutt to really carpe your diem, you've found the one.  Oly comes spayed, vaccinated , microchipped and dewormed.  Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, medical records, and a sample of the food she's been eating.  To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.   ##2020081##

Story
Dopey is an adorable and vivacious American Pit Bull Terrier mix with an Embark estimated birthdate of 09/23/2023. He is a beautiful blue brindle and white pattern. He was originally found stray by a local community member who did her due diligence in searching for his owners, but no one came forward and now he's on the hunt for a new home.  Dopey did arrive with a severe skin infection and chronic skin inflammation which he is being treated for. He will likely always need allergy management care, which includes costco salmon and sweet potato kibble and a daily apoquel pill. The appquel may be a lifelong treatment and it runs approximately $90 per month.  Dopey is highly athletic dog who will be able to accomplish any goal with a dedicated and competent handler. He would love to be involved in basic dog sports like disc, fast cat, or potentially bikejorn etc, but he would also be happy to just spend time with an active person who walks and hikes regularly. Dopey is friendly to dogs but can be over the top and needs to work on his greeting skills so he's not overwhelming to the other dogs. He does have prey drive and chases cats and small animals, so he is not suitable in a home with small animals. He is also not a good candidate for the dog park because his self control skills and lack of social awareness will be magnified and negatively impacted in an uncontrolled group setting.  Dopey loves all people he meets and he's great with kids. He is also crate trained and working on leash training and finishing touches on house training.  Dopey's adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and apoquel. He comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy!  ##2075821##
