Ayo *WAITING FOR A FAMILY FOR TWO YEARS!*

German Shepherd Dog Alaskan Malamute

Story
Ayo is a handsome large dog that is Embark tested and came back as a German Shepherd Alaskan Malamute mix. He arrived to the Mission from Carbon County Animal Services in Utah when he was past his euthanasia date for lack of space. He is approximately 75lbs and has an estimated birthdate of 01/02/2021.  Ayo is seeking the atypical adopter that may not be suitable to the average dog. He is very much a one person/one family dog, and thrives while riding in the car, so his ideal adopter could be a trucker, van lifer/traveler, rural homebody that may not like to go out often etc. He wants a simple life with a reliable person, and if they want to take him to the lake to go swimming on a regular basis, then life couldn't get any sweeter.  He has learned sit, how to wait at a doorway, loves to go for car rides, aced many amazing adventures into the great outdoors, and has become a great snuggle buddy and showering assistant, carefully licking the water drops off of his person's legs. He also loves to be groomed and took the entire process in stride like an old pro, even leaning into the force dryer to get a better feel of the warm stream of air. Ayo has not been able to acclimate to other animals in a consistent and safe manner, so while he's still very easy to take for walks and other outings in the midst of other animals, it will be the safest option for him to be the only animal in the home. He is also very over aroused around small children, so a home with teens and up would be ideal.  Ayo's best feature is that he loves playing ball, and he's so eager to fetch that it's by and large the simplest path to teach him. Ayo also has a nice willing personality naturally which will help him learn new skills and trust more environments and people without shutting down.  To see Ayo's complete Embark profile, click here:  http://embk.me/ayo8?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark Ayo comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. His adoption fee is $0 due to his length of stay, and includes his leash, martingale collar, herm sprenger prong collar, ID tag, food sample and paperwork. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy!  ##1472725##

Story
Chase is a unique and loyal cattle dog boxer mutt with an estimated birthdate of 12/13/2022. He came to the Mission during a medical crisis in which his family had run out of funds and options to care for him. He is embark tested and his results are available here:  https://app.embarkvet.com/pet/bf137c5f-bce9-4841-91a7-41c3f1bb71b1/about?source=share Chase has been with the Mission for well over a year, and he's predictably wobbly with a yearning in his funky little heart for a home with one or two people, no other dogs, and no special expectations other than just hanging out and taking naps. Chase doesn't need to go everywhere and do everything. He can, and frankly wants to just be present at home and when company visits, he would prefer to go in his crate and be left out of the action. He's a man of simple means.  Chase comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $0 due to his length of stay, and includes a sample of the food he's been eating, a leash, collar, and ID tag. To be considered to adopt Chase, please visit www.murcismission.org and send in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy! ##1824775##

Story
Astraya is an adorable and playful German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthdate of 10/30/2021. She came to Murci's Mission from our partners at SCRAPS.  Astraya knows basic commands and is leash trained, crate trained, and potty trained. She is social with adults and children. She loves playing with other dogs and would be a great companion for another dog. Astraya's ideal family would be one that was at least moderately active and willing to include her in life's adventures. She would do best in a home without cats. She has on and off lead hiking experience and is a great mountain biking companion.  Astraya comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, medical records and a sample of the food she's been eating.

Story
Can we get a drum roll please? Introducing Lilith the Wonder Dog who successfully defended her foster parent's car from burglary on her very first evening with Murci's Mission.  Now that's what we call a BFF in the making.  Lilith is a beautiful, biddable and athletic German Shepherd mix with an estimated borthdate of 12/04/2023. She came to Murci's Mission from SCRAPS after she was found stray and sick with giardia but has since been treated and is ready for her next chapter in life.  Lilith is being fostered at Pawsitive Canine Academy where she's learning additional life skills. She is friendly to people of all ages as well as dogs, and she is not yet cat tested. Her one flaw thus far is that she's able to escape 6' fences, so she's not eligible to be left outdoors unattended.  Lilith has all the makings of a once in a lifetime dog who is ready to walk with her person through thick and thin. When someone imagines going into an animal shelter and adopting an absolute ride or die John Wick style shepherd and living like Bonnie and Clyde, this is the dog they're looking for.  Lilith comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.  Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and medical records.  To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application. Thank you!  ##2247322##

Mooncake

Chow Chow Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo
Mead, WA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mooncake is a beautiful, plush, and happy chow chow with an estimated birthdate of 01/17/2023. She came to Murci's Mission from our partners at SCRAPS.  Before applying for Mooncake, please make sure that you understand the temperament of a chow chow. To someone seeking a regular family pet, Mooni might seem problematic, but to someone seeking a chow chow, she will be exactly as expected. She is highly standoffish to new people and will never be accepting of physical handling by strangers. When meeting her, it will be expected that potential adopters know to ignore her and let her take the greeting at her own pace. Anyone who does not honor this and forces themselves upon her with physical touch she is not ready for or interested in will be at risk of being bitten which would be entirely unfair and avoidable since the information and expectations are clearly presented here.  Mooni finds men to be more intimidating than women, so any future men in her life will have to be patient, but she will slowly and surely make friends. She is not suitable in a home with kids below 10. She has been outstanding with other dogs and has accepted corrections from large and small dogs, however, she rarely needs one. She good on leash, responsive to spray bottle corrections, and accepts being crated although she can pant heavily and bark every so often when she feels some containment stress. She is great for car rides, hasn't peed inside, and is an expert spooning partner once she trusts her person.  Mooncake's ideal family will be one who had patience and understanding of aloof dogs who have no use for unknown people. She would love to be included in outings with the family but will require a strong advocate who will be able to tell passerbys that they cannot pet her even though she's terribly cute. She would also be ok with staying home for the most part. She has been respectful in the house and is low/mid energy.  If you'd like to learn more about chow chows, please visit here: https://www.chowclub.org/ccci/training-socialization-behavior Mooni comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, muzzle for scary vet and groomer visits, food sample, and medical records. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out our girl.  ##2280689##
