Story
DOB 7.25.25 Kelpie/Chihuahua mix Kennel trained Dog friendly (submissive) Vaccinated, microchipped, neutered Weight: about 20 pounds Engaging and people friendly Meet Marlon Brandog — the charming older puppy with a heart of gold.

He's a smaller breed (he's kind of a mystery) and is relatively quiet. Marlon is dog-friendly and sociable — he enjoys playtime and makes fast friends with other pups. Calm enough for relaxed evenings but playful enough for walks and games, he’s an easygoing companion for many home types. He responds well to gentle, consistent guidance and kindness.. Ideal home: someone who wants a loyal, affectionate dog with puppy energy tempered by a sensible, older-puppy temperament. Great with other dogs, ready to join family outings, and eager to give and receive love. Interested in meeting Marlon Brandog? Come say hello — he’s ready to steal your heart.

Story
Name: Pacco Age: 4 years Gender: Male Breed: Australian Kelpie mix Weight: 35 lbs Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: No cats, please Child Friendly: Yes — older children, please House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Energy Level: Moderate Temperament: Loving, affectionate, cuddly, goofy, intelligent Requirements: Not rental appropriate  Adoption Fee: $375 + tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html There are a lot of good dogs out there… but I’m just waiting for someone to choose me.  Hi, I’m Pacco! I’m what they call a Kelpie—which means I’m smart, active, and always ready to learn something new. Seriously, I love learning I even walk on the treadmill! I already know cues like back, down, come, up, wait, and shake (pretty impressive, right?). Right now I’m working on heeling nicely on leash, and I’ve recently discovered one of my absolute favorite things ever… Bike rides. That’s right—I get to run alongside my foster mom, and let me tell you, it’s the BEST. Wind in my fur, legs moving, brain engaged—I was born for this kind of fun! When I’m not out being an athlete, I’m also a professional napper. I can nap on laps, chairs, couches… honestly, anywhere comfy will do. Balance is important, after all—zoom hard, nap harder. I live with my foster sister, Ava, who’s a bit of a wise old lady. I like to play with her, but sometimes I get a little too enthusiastic, and she’ll remind me to tone it down. I’m learning—promise! I love toys—especially squeaky ones. Chasing them? Amazing. Bringing them back? …still a work in progress. Let’s call it a “selective retrieval system.” My foster family says I’m a handsome guy (I won’t argue with that), and I’m great with their grandkids too! When the 9- and 10-year-olds come over, I’m all about playtime and cuddles. I’m also a pretty alert guy—I’ll let you know if someone’s at the door or in the yard. I’m working on greeting visitors a little more politely, but hey, I just get excited to meet new friends! Oh—and food? LOVE it. Maybe a little too much. I eat pretty fast, so I use a special slow-feeder bowl to help me take it easy. Right now, I’m having a great time with my foster family… but what I really want is a forever home. A place where I can keep learning, keep playing, keep biking—and most importantly, keep loving my people. Think you can keep up with me?  April 15, 2026, 6:24 pm

Meet Coraline (Cora), A bright and joyful 4-month-old Red Heeler mix with a big personality packed into a puppy-sized body! This sweet girl’s favorite place to be is as close to you as possible, preferably attempting to squeeze herself right onto your lap for snuggles. Cora is a smart pup who is already potty trained and comfortable in her crate, giving her a fantastic head start for her age. Like any young puppy, she’s still learning the meaning of “no,” but her eagerness to please and quick mind make her a great student. When it comes to meeting new people, Cora’s enthusiasm shines, she’ll happily bounce up to say hello and share her excitement. With a little continued training, she’ll polish those greetings into perfect manners. She loves squeaky toys, chasing balls, and true to puppy form, has a soft spot for shoes if they’re left within reach! Cora ignores cats and would do wonderfully in a home with children who can match her playful, affectionate energy. She also sports a docked tail and a unique ear coloring that makes her stand out in the cutest way. If you’re looking for a loving, clever, and spirited companion who will keep you smiling every day, Coraline is ready to wiggle her way right into your heart, and your lap! 🐾 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
From the Ship's log of the Black Pearl It has been four months since we last saw land. The crew and I are anxious to find what we hope to be our new forever home. The journey began under dark and foreboding skies and was at times terribly lonesome, but the weather improved a few weeks ago and it's been smooth sailing and fun on deck ever since. With the recent warm weather and favorable winds, we have traveled far and learned a lot. I'm now ship (house) trained, and can go up and down the companionways (stairs). I've mastered sit, working on lay down, and my instructor says I'll have all of my basic commands down by the time we reach port. Did I mention that I've also become crate trained and love the safety and security it provides. When we arrive I hope there will be many long walks and trips to the dog parks as I love making new friends. I'm very social and when I use my play bow to initiate play it works almost every time. I'm told that I have an average amount of zoomies for a pup my age and will thrive in an environment that is puppy friendly and has the time to teach me the ways of the world. On that note, I respond very well to positive reinforcement and I'm very sensitive so raised voices and immersion therapy aren't the best ways to teach and communicate with me. After the turbulent start I'm a little sensitive and shy to new experiences and extra time and understanding will help speed up my full recovery. I'm growing very fast at this point and currently about 5 months old. I'm part Heeler and my foster dad thinks I might have some hound in me as well. But that doesn't really matter. What does is that I'm going to be the best dog you've ever had. I'm very affectionate, gentle and loyal. I'm smart, kind, and will do my best to fill your life with as much joy as I can every day. I'm looking for a fur-ever home that has a lot of love to give and share. If you think we'd be a good fit please fill out the application forms, I'd love to meet you and tell you why my middle name is Spaghetti. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Elsie, your loyal shadow, adventure buddy, and professional snuggler 💛 Elsie is a stunning, intelligent girl with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. She absolutely thrives in a home with other dogs. She loves to play, wrestle, and then curl up for cozy naps with her canine friends. While she didn’t start out as a cat fan, her best friend is a cat named Hector and in a new home (and proper introductions) Elsie can adjust to cats with a little time and patience. This sweet girl is deeply devoted to her people. She wants to be by your side through everything, whether you’re relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or even trying to load the dishwasher (she insists on supervising!). Personal space? Elsie’s never heard of it and honestly, she thinks it’s overrated. Elsie is incredibly smart and very food motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. She already knows a long list of cues like sit, down, shake, leave it, watch me, and even a few fun ones like “raise the roof!” She learns quickly and loves having a job to do. Keeping her mentally engaged, through training, play, or long walks, will help her shine. She’s also an active girl who enjoys running and has even tried canicross, pulling is her thing! She’s currently working on loose leash walking and does great when given guidance and focus cues like “watch me” or “easy.” At home, she loves zooming around the yard, watching squirrels, playing in the hose, and stretching out into her signature “frog dog” pose. Elsie does have a sensitive side and is looking for a confident, patient home that will help her feel safe and supported. She can be wary of new people, especially men, but with slow, proper introductions and consistency, she warms up and becomes affectionate (face kisses included!). Because of this, she’ll do best with a family that can advocate for her space and provide structure when guests visit. She’s very in tune with her environment and can be alert, sometimes taking on a “guard dog” role, but this is simply part of her nature, not aggression. She may also try to “herd” with gentle nipping at times (a common cattle dog trait), but she redirects well with guidance. Elsie is kennel trained (she’ll happily go in when you say “kennel” or “dinner”) and does best eating separately, as she has shown some food guarding with other dogs in the past. With this simple management, she’s done wonderfully. Elsie’s ideal home: Another playful dog (or dogs!) to be her best friend A patient, confident adopter committed to helping her navigate new experiences A home that will provide structure, mental stimulation, and lots of love Someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to earn it In return, Elsie will give you unwavering loyalty, endless companionship, and plenty of laughs with her quirky, loving personality. She is truly something special and she’s just waiting for the right person to see it. 💕 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
