Story
Our dog named Shy-C, was obtained from our grand daughter a week ago. She had to move and couldn't take her. I am keeping her until I can find a good home. Shy-C is an 8 years old female and has been fixed. She is very quiet and laid back I've never heard her bark. She does talk to you occasionally, and it isn't by barking or growling. I don't know what you would call it, but I talk back to her. She and I carry on a conversation for a bit. Shy-C enjoys going for walks and rides in the car with her head out the window. And loves being around people and other animals.

Story
  STEVEN  This brave canine hasn’t had it easy in life, running loose and fending for himself for about a month before he was finally rescued. Initially, he was terrified of humans, which is understandable. When we brought him home, our sweet boy immediately revealed his true nature, showing us just how special he truly is. Despite the hardships he faced, he has become the epitome of love and affection.  He adores snuggles! There is nothing he loves more than curling up in your lap for some quality cuddle time. Prepare for your heart to melt as his big, soulful eyes gaze up at you with pure adoration! To keep this clever canine entertained, all you need is a few toys and some bones. He's always up for a game of fetch or a chew session, and his goofy energy will give you regular laughs.Plus, his amazing compatibility with other dogs means he would be an excellent addition to a multi-pet household, bringing harmony and wagging tails all around. Steven is perfect in every way, from his adorable appearance to his heart of gold & will come neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He is approximately 10 months old and weighs roughly 32 pounds. He is good with kids and cats.  ##1858448##

Story
I've had Maxie for 7-8 years. A coworker needed to rehome her, so I took her with no hesitation. She is such a sweet girl with a silly smile. Great with people and other animals. Maxie needs a home with a yard and a family that can give her the attention she needs. She can be a little nervous at first, so she prefers a more mellow atmosphere. I moved to Idaho almost 2 years ago and up until now I have been able to meet her needs. We went from a house to an apartment where she just doesn't have the space she needs. I work 2 jobs, one full time and one part time which means I'm gone way more that I'd like to be, Maxie is not a fan of this. She loves attention and love and being with you. She barks when left alone too much and it is causing some issues at the apartment. I would love nothing more than to keep her but at this point I can't. I don't want any money, just hoping to find a wonderful home and family for her. We are in Post Falls, ID.

Story
I got Annie from a gal in Sandpoint, Idaho. She was acquired for hunting purposes. She is just over 4 years old. I got her as a puppy in the fall of 2020. She is a good listening dog and loves attention. Words I would use to describe her are playful, loyal and gentle. She does chew on a lot of things and digs holes when left alone a lot. Therefore causing her to be kenneled a lot. Being kenneled a lot is not fair for her.

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 $200 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 ChiBull mutt of some sort 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. If it's a disaster, it's probably happened to poor Chase in his first 10 months of life. He has had his leg broken, suffers from a neurological wobble of unknown origin, and barely scraped by when we received him and treated him for a very severe respiratory infection and pneumonia. Chase is also extremely unsocialized, having clearly missed the mark on experiencing the world through positive and predictable interactions with the stimulus around him and he can be very fearful when encountering new things.  Chase will be the kind of dog who needs a dedicated adopter who is not a push over and can set a clear path to success for him when it comes to socializing. There should be very little tolerance for reactivity and disproportionate responses to things that are not worth being afraid of, and there should be ample praise and reward for calmness and reasonable responses to the sights and sounds of the world.  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 $200 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##
