Story
Lottie is a toy Australian Shepherd that we adopted from Portland Oregon when she was nine weeks old. She is now around seven months old however she’s not up-to-date on her shots and has not been spayed yet. She’s very well mannered and very sweet and incredibly easy to train. She is the most eager to learn dog I have ever met. She is also very fantastic with children and other dogs. She has endless energy and absolutely loves to play. I am very sad to part with her however we are moving and we cannot take her with us. We are hoping a family can take this responsibility and this sweet girl off of our hands.

Story
Welcome Ohana to Murci's Mission Animal Rescue!  Ohana comes to Murci's Mission as a transfer from an independent rescuer in cental Washington. Ohana was originally live trapped with a group of dumped dogs in Moses Lake and has since been warming up to household life. Ohana is about 52lbs with an estimated birthdate of 12/19/2023. She may be slightly reserved when first meeting new people and dogs, but is safe with dogs, cats, and children as long as she's given a few weeks to settle in and feel secure. She is curious and submissive, loving to investigate things at her own pace, give kisses, and get her belly rubbed. She is athletic and biddable and has a ton of potential to go in any direction as she is given opportunity to learn and trust in a new guardian.  Ohana is leash trained, crate trained, and house trained. She is non destructive in the household when loose, and rides fine in the car. Once she's comfortable with her new family, she bonds deeply and loves to be with her person.  Ohana can escape a six foot fence, but has no intent to actually run away. She just wants to find and stick with her family. For this reason, she's not suitable to spend stretches of time unattended outside. Ohana has also displayed mild seperation anxiety. Ohana comes spayed, vaccinated, mircochipped and dewormed. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes a leash, collar, harness, ID tag, food sample, medical records, and a consultation with a behaviorist to get both parties off to a good start. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out Ohana! ##2846442##

Story
Meet Oz! 🐾 Oz is a sweet 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, who is a little funny looking, and requires an adult-only home. Due to his breed and unique attitude, Oz needs a family that understands boundaries and how to respect a working dog. He wants a loving home and a boss at the same time. Oz is affectionate in his own way and is very communicative about his boundaries. He does not enjoy having his face handled all the time and he will let you know when he is uncomfortable. Though he has some sensitivities, he is very affectionate and loves his butt scratches. He cannot live with other dogs or children due to behaviors in past homes. He also has food-guarding behavior and will require an experienced home that can safely manage his meals and understand the importance of giving him space around food. Oz would do best with someone who has experience with Australian Shepherds and is prepared to work patiently with a dog who has some challenges. With the right environment, structure, understanding, and respect for his boundaries, Oz has the opportunity to form a strong bond with his people.

Meet Maisie! 🐾 I’m a 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog who came to CAC as a surrender, and my friends here are still getting to know me! We do know I’m NOT a fan of dominant female dogs, so absolutely no dominant females for me. If I have a doggy friend, they’ll need to be respectful of my boundaries and more submissive. My friends are still learning how I do with cats, children, and other dogs. I’ll need a home with lots of patience, guidance, and understanding while I settle in and show you who I really am! 💕

Story
Welcome Timber!  Timber came to Murci's Mission when his former owner could no longer care for him. He is a cattle dog mix with an estimsted birthdate of 01/25/2025. He weighs 32lbs.  Timber is very very lively and full of energy and excitement. He is dog/cat/kid friendly, but is still and intense herding breed dog who is task oriented and made to get sh*t done. This means he will need a guardian who will make efforts to bring purpose and enrichment to his life. Without that, he is likely to act out.  Timber walks chaotically on leash and is fine in his crate or loose in the house. He rides fine in the car after 5 or so minutes of barking like a fire alarm.  Need some excitement and joy in your life? Timber may just be the medicine for you. Timber comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.  His adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, medical records, and complimentary consultation with a trainer to help both parties stick the landing!

ADOPTION PENDING – NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONSGreat news! This pup has a potential forever home. Please check out our other available dogs—we’d love to help you find your perfect match! Ready to take on the world! Born on 8/22/26, Dolly (as in Dolly Parton) is a charming Border Collie mix with soft white fur, black splotches, and adorable black toe beans. She is a chunky four pounds, and her foster jokes she might be part bear. Dolly and her brother Kenny (Rogers, of course) came to us as newborns from a local shelter after they were found abandoned. A dedicated foster bottle fed and nurtured these siblings, and they are thriving. Sweet, loving, confident little Dolly is ready to take on the world! Our Dolly lives up to her iconic namesake – she is quite a pistol. She entered her foster home and quickly let everyone know that though she was tiny, she was ready to be the boss. Dolly loves to direct activities with her brother, initiating play and engaging him in rough housing. And her games are open to everyone; she is delighted when her people get down on the ground and play with her, too. Dolly enjoys new adventures and did well on a stroller ride to explore the outdoors. When her brother is ready for a break, Dolly will entertain herself; give her a selection of toys to play with, and she is a contented girl. Stuffed animals are among her favorite toys. She will toss them in the air and gnaw on their ears (though small, she sees herself as quite fierce!). But sweet Dolly isn’t all go, go, go. She relishes a good nap and adores snuggles, and nothing is better than a snuggly nap with someone special. Dolly has been known to interrupt a nap for a short play session, then settle back into snoozing. This charming girl takes her beauty sleep seriously. We are currently taking applications for Dolly, and she will be able to go home with an adopter on October 25, after she is spayed. Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and interviews with potential adopters will begin on October 17.  To begin the adoption process and learn more about Dolly, apply today! Puppies this young cannot be left alone more than a few hours at a time. Please only apply if you can be home with your puppy or can make arrangements for the puppy’s care. Ready to adopt? Now what? Please take 3-4 minutes and complete our application form at: www.lilaccitypupproject.org. Our adoption team will spring into action! You will have a phone call conversation with a dedicated adoption counselor, and the adoption team will contact your vet(s), if applicable. Once you have been matched with a dog, a meet and greet will be set up and take place at the foster family's home. After the meet and greet, there will be a home inspection and in-home trial prior to adoption finalization. Lilac City Pup Project is entirely volunteer and foster run, with no kennel facility. Only approved adoption applicants will be able to meet our dogs outside of adoption events. Adoption Donations: $350 for Puppies up to 9 months $300 for Adults 9 months or older *includes spay/neuter, all core vaccinations, and microchip. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Lilac City Pup Project is a federal 501c3 organization. Not sure you want to adopt, foster first and adopt later! LCPP is always in need of fosters. There is an overwhelming number of dogs who need our help and the more fosters we have, the more dogs we can save. LCPP covers expenses, including food. Fosters provide love and a soft place to crash. At Lilac City Pup Project we strive to better the lives of vulnerable dogs through rescue, foster, and adoption services; educate dog owners and empower them to build successful human/canine relationships; and support the local community by partnering with shelters facing overcrowding and limited resources. LCPP is organized exclusively for public, charitable, and/or educational purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. LCPP is a Nonprofit organization formed in Washington State in April 2025, by passionate dog lovers. One hundred percent (100%) of every dollar goes to furthering our tax-exempt purpose.

Story
Amigo is a smart, outgoing, high-energy guy who’s ready to find a person who can keep up with him! This boy is looking for an active home where he can put his brain and energy to good use. Whether it’s learning new tricks, exploring the outdoors, or having a job to do, Amigo is ready to clock in! 😉 Amigo would prefer an adult-only home where he won’t have little kiddos accidentally knocked over by his enthusiasm. He can also be reactive around other dogs, becoming barky and overstimulated when he sees them, so he’ll need someone willing to help him navigate those moments and set him up for success. Amigo came to us all the way from California after being found as a stray. We don’t know what his life looked like before he arrived, but we do know what we want for his future: a home where he’s loved, understood, and never left wondering where he belongs again. ❤️ He’s got so much potential, a big personality, and a whole lot of love to give. Now he just needs someone to take a chance on him and show him what it means to be part of a family. Could you be Amigo’s person?

Story
Poncho might be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give this boy some time and you’ll get to see just how special he is! 🥹 Found as a stray in California, we don’t know if Poncho has ever had a home of his own before. Loud noises and quick movements can make him a little unsure, but his curiosity always seems to win out. He’s a brave boy who just needs some encouragement and someone willing to let him go at his own pace. And trust us, watching Poncho come out of his shell is the CUTEST thing! 🥹💕 Get him outside for some one-on-one time, and he starts to perk up, gets a little pep in his step, and lets his personality shine. Once he gets comfortable, his goofy side starts making appearances, too! Between those cute ears, his hesitant-but-excited approach to new things, and the way he slowly works up the courage to show off his personality, he’ll have you smiling before you know it. 🐶 Poncho is also wonderful with other dogs, including the little ones! This guy is a real gentle giant around his smaller canine friends. 🥹❤️ We think he’d thrive in a home with a confident dog who can show him the ropes, help him feel more secure, and encourage him to come out of his shell. Having a furry friend to learn from could make a world of difference for this sweet boy! Poncho isn't necessarily going to be your instant best friend the moment you meet him, but give him patience, kindness, and a little time, and you might just discover your new favorite little weirdo. ❤️ He deserves a home where he can feel safe enough to let that goofy personality shine every single day. Could you be the one to help Poncho come out of his shell and find his forever home? 🏡🐾
