Story

Meet Royal, a three-year-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing around 60 lbs. of pure love. If you’re a fan of cuddles, affection, and sweet, gentle gestures, she’s the perfect match for you! Royal’s heart is as big as her loving spirit—she adores hugs and snuggles from everyone, whether you’re big or small. She’s active and playful when the moment calls for it, enjoying toys and zooming around the dog park. But her calm, easygoing nature makes her the ultimate snuggle buddy when it’s time to relax. Royal’s favorite pastime? Strolling around, meeting new people and pups, and spreading her warm, loving energy wherever she goes. She’s a true lover at heart, and she can’t wait to share all that love with you!

Click Here to Sponsor Me! Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet. Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process 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://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlFebruary 16, 2026, 10:39 pm

Story

Hi, I’m Linus and I’m the cutest freckled boy around! I’m 1.5 years old and the shelter said I’m an Australian kelpie, I’m about 45 pounds so I’m the perfect size to cuddle with! I’m so sweet and I love cuddling. I like making friends with dogs and humans whenever I go out! I’m incredibly smart, I’ve learned to open doors by jumping up on them so I may surprise you with more things I learn in the future; I know that’s a little naughty and I’m still learning some manners such as not jumping up! I love playing with my toys except I don’t always like to share specific chewing toys so I’ll growl at other dogs but I’m learning I can’t resource guard so you’ll have to keep teaching me, like I said I’m incredibly smart so I’ve already started learning. I also have an amazing rock collection I can’t wait to show you. I’m crate trained so I can’t eat anything I’m not supposed to while I’m unsupervised since I really like picking up rocks! I may not be the best fit for a family with young children since I jump a lot and I guess I’m not as small as I think! I love playing with all my dog friends, running laps, wrestling and playing tug-o-war. I really love the cats in my foster home but I’ve had to learn to be gentle and not to chase so now I love kissing them. I will need to continue my training and have structure so I can continue to grow into the perfect dog but I’m so excited to start bonding together and show you my big brains, you’ll fall in love immediately with my cute wiggle butt, sweet face and all of my freckles!

Story

🌙 Meet Luna – Sweet, Splashy, and Slightly Selective About Her Roommates 🐾 Luna is as lovely as her name suggests—a gentle soul with a playful spirit and a love for all things fun. Her mom is an Australian Shepherd, and thanks to some very nosy humans (and a DNA test), we know dad was a pit mix. So she’s got brains, beauty, and bounce. Currently living in a foster home with a whole pack of pups, Luna fits right in... most of the time. There’s one dog she has the occasional food-fueled disagreement with—nothing dramatic, just the usual “Who ate my kibble?” squabble. Otherwise, she’s a social butterfly. Things Luna loves: 💦 Playing in the doggy pool like it's her personal spa 🎉 Jumping on the trampoline with the kids like she’s training for the Dog Olympics 🐶 Making furry and human friends (preferably ones who don’t steal her snacks) She’s spayed, sweet, and ready for a forever home—ideally one with loving people, fun activities, and maybe a few rules about mealtime manners.

Story

Ava is absolutely AMAZING with kids and people of all ages. She loves humans more than anything and craves deep connection — she wants to be as close to her person as possible at all times. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely, Ava is your girl.She is fully potty trained, rides well in the car, and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced, secure yard where she can burn energy and then come inside for cuddles.Ava cannot live with cats due to high prey drive and is recommended as the only dog in the home. While she has had one carefully built dog friendship, she generally has a strong aversion to other dogs. She will also need some continued work on leash skills.Ava deserves a loving home that will embrace her big heart and give her the connection she craves.February 11, 2026, 8:37 pm

Cowboy is a sensitive, introverted boy with a naturally calm and gentle presence. He’s mellow and thoughtful, forming deep bonds with his people rather than seeking the spotlight. When he feels safe, he lights up with full-body wiggles and the sweetest expression.He is eager to please and highly responsive to guidance. After recent trauma, he may be a bit insecure at first, but with safety, clarity, and consistency, he settles in beautifully.Cowboy can do well with balanced, mature dogs who have calm temperaments. And as a bonus, he’s rocking a natural mohawk that would make Mr. T jealous. Gentle, loyal, and devoted, Cowboy is ready for a home that appreciates a soft, steady soul.February 12, 2026, 12:42 am
