Story
🐾 Looking for a loving home for Mochi 🐾 Mochi has been my best friend since I adopted her in Chile at 4 months old and brought her with me to the United States. For three years, it was just the two of us, and she was the most loyal, loving companion I could ever ask for. Mochi is incredibly affectionate and deeply devoted to her person. She loves walks, cuddles, playing, and sleeping by your side. She does very well in an apartment and would be happiest in a calm home where she is the only pet, as she has always been fearful of other dogs. She does well with older children. After having my daughter, Mochi has had difficulty fully adapting, and I have to make the heartbreaking decision to find her a home where she can feel safe and thrive. She will be an amazing companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving dog who will never leave your side. ❤️ Please message me if you think you could give Mochi the loving home she deserves.

Story
Meet Brownie the ginger teddy bear. She loves hugs and will gently take snacks from your hand like the 1-year-old baby that she is. She's great on a leash and loves sunbathing going on walks, car rides, morning naps, chew toys, watching Bluey, and '80s R&B. Brownie is crate-trained and will let you know she's ready for bed. Dislikes cats, tall lamps, and fresh veggies (but her foster mom is trying fresh berries now.) Brownie craves cuddles and attention, and would be a great fit in an adult-only or adult-teen home with other dogs who can keep up with her playful spirit.

Story
Meet Stubbs! Stubbs is a super cuddly and easygoing companion who loves his people deeply. He’s happiest when he can stay close to them, whether that’s stretched out on a big dog bed nearby or claiming a spot on the couch right next to them. He has been friendly with all the dogs, cats, and other smaller animals he's met and hasn’t shown any biting behavior. Stubbs tends to approach them with excited curiosity and may try to follow them around, which might be a bit much for animals who aren’t used to that kind of enthusiasm. He would do best with animal companions who are comfortable with his curious and energetic personality. Stubbs is a tripod doggy who gets around just fine and can be surprisingly fast when he wants to be. He doesn't let his missing leg slow him down or stop him from enjoying life to the fullest. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who thrives on closeness and connection, Stubbs just might be the one for you. He has so much love to give and is ready to start his happily-ever-after with his forever family.
