Mohave is a sweet dog and has never shown any aggressive behavior. She is around 6 years old and has a little arthritis. Our son's family moved out of state and could not take her with them, so she came to live with us for about the last 4 years or so. Everyone loves her, as we know since her passion for the last few weeks she has been an escape artist. You will need a good fence to make sure she stays. Otherwise, she is very lovable and likes to be petted and taken for a walk.

Meet Scout!Scout is a sweet, energetic, and playful MINI Aussie born on December 8, 2025. He weighs just under 20 pounds and is full of personality. He loves to play, explore, and be around people. He's curious, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure. Making the decision to rehome Scout has been incredibly difficult. We live in an apartment with two young children, and we've realized we're not able to give him the space, time, and one-on-one attention he deserves. We truly want what's best for him, and we believe he'll thrive in a home where he has more room to run, play, and receive the attention he needs.Scout would do best with an active individual or family who has the time and energy to help him continue learning and growing. He's a wonderful puppy with so much love to give, and we're committed to finding him a caring, forever home where he can live his happiest life. If you think Scout could be a great fit for your family, we'd love to hear from you.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Magni! ï¸ Magni is a sweet, handsome 14-week-old Aussie mix who may be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a little time and you'll discover what a loving boy he truly is. Once he feels comfortable, Magni loves nothing more than snuggling up with his people and handing out sweet kisses.  He's also a big fan of the simple things in life—sticks, toys, playing with his dog friends, and spending time with the people he loves. And those stunning eyes of his? They're pretty hard to resist!  Because Magni can be a little shy at first, a home with kids over 5 would be the best fit for him. He's looking for a family who will give him the patience and encouragement he needs to come out of his shell and show them just how special he is. Magni is currently working on his crate training, potty training, leash skills, and basic commands. He's still a young pup with lots to learn, but with the right family by his side, this sweet boy is sure to blossom into an amazing companion.  If you're looking for a gentle, snuggly boy with the sweetest personality and the most beautiful eyes, Magni might just be your perfect match!  Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 3, 2026, 10:02 pm

He warms up instantly and enjoys respectful kids. His crossed-paw lounging pose and little tuft of hair by his eye make him extra charming.Misio is house-trained, crate-trained, and well-mannered in the home—though he’ll counter-surf if food is within reach.

He can pass some dogs politely but is unpredictable with others and doesn’t like sharing toys. No cats. He’s fine around livestock when supervised.

He still prefers gentle handling around his collar and during grooming, but he has made wonderful progress.A fenced yard and positive-reinforcement family would be ideal. Misio is affectionate, goofy, loyal, and ready for a home that appreciates both his adventurous side and his snuggly one.Dogs are not placed on a first- come, first-served basis.
