Story
She is 5 years old and originally came from a farm in Idaho where she grew up with several siblings and other dogs. She has a very social, playful personality and is full of energy. She loves to run, play, and get the zoomies, and she enjoys being around people and staying active. She is good with children and does well with other large dogs. She would thrive in an active home that can give her plenty of exercise, attention, and space to run, ideally with a yard or an active routine. We are looking for a loving home that can truly match her energy level and give her the time and consistency she needs to thrive. Due to changes in our family’s situation, including having an autistic child who requires significant support and structure, we are no longer able to provide her with the level of activity and attention she deserves. This is a very difficult decision, but our priority is finding her a stable, caring home where she can be happy and well cared for.

Story
Meet Iris she’s approximately a 3 year old Lab Kelpie mix pup and around 40lbs. She is a sweet soul that walks beautifully on a leash and gently takes treats from new people. She is curious by nature and loves sniffing everything. Her love language is quality time and she thrives on companionship. Once she gets to know you, she will never leave your side. She gets along with other dogs but loves playing with her brother, Mica (also available for adoption) and prefers to hang out with her humans instead.  Her ideal home will be with someone that will continue to work on building her confidence and be patient with her showing you how great of a dog she is.

Story
Savannah is 42 pound, 3 year old kelpie shepherd. She loves playing with toys and snuggling with her foster parents and the other dogs in the home. If you’ll be patient with her she will show you how sweet & what a snuggle buddy she can be. Savannah beat death and survived distemper as a puppy, while it has a high mortality rate, she beat the odds and has been cleared by the vet and is expected to live a normal life span.  We would like to adopt her out to a home with another dog or someone who has time to keep her well socialized. She had a rough start to life, and we want the very best for her. If you would like to meet Savannah, please fill out an application https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt

Story
This is Athena. Athena is a little over 4 years old and weighs about 30 pounds almost like a fun-sized shepherd mix.  She had a rough beginning as she was picked up as a stray in Mexico, along with her sister. They came to us extremely scared of everything and have come a long way since being with us. While her sister got adopted shortly after, Athena got left behind still looking for her forever family. She is one of our special girls who needs her forever family to be really patient with her as she learns to get comfortable with you. She is still very shy and we suggest a home with no kids and a female-only household. Athena would benefit best from having an outgoing, friendly dog in the house for her to follow (she used to look to her sister for direction). She loves playing with toys and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet girl who just needs some love and someone with patience, please fill out an application: https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt

Story
Meet Dex!Dex is a 1.5-year-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing about 40 pounds, with the cutest big pointy ears you've ever seen and a heart just as sweet.    This handsome boy was found running after someone that no longer wanted him, our friends at Feeding Perris strays saw him and stopped the car. Once they caught up with him, he walked right up to them like he knew they came back for him. They leashed him with no problem and then carried him into the car. 💔This was truly so sad and devastating. and is now hoping for a second chance at the life he deserves.Dex can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and patience, and you'll quickly see what a gentle, loving companion he is.He's great on leash, gets along well with other dogs, and has a calm, kind nature that makes him easy to love. Once Dex feels safe, his affectionate personality starts to shine and you'll have a loyal best friend by your side.If you're looking for a sweet, sensitive soul with adorable ears and an even bigger heart, Dex may be your perfect match.To meet Dex, please fill out an adoption application HERE: https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt
