Bonded pair Cricket and Mochi have overcome so much and are finally ready for a forever home—together. Sweet, gentle, and full of love, these resilient girls were part of a heartbreaking surrender of 10 dogs to a small rural Texas shelter when their owner entered a nursing home. After multiple surgeries, dentals, and lots of TLC, these brave little ladies are now healthy, comfortable, and ready for their forever home—always together.
Mochi is a 7+ year old, 14 lb Wire-Haired Terrier Mix. She may have a permanently grumpy little face, but underneath that is a calm, affectionate cuddle bug. She's the confident half of this duo and quietly watches over Cricket. Mochi had several masses removed—all benign—and while she may develop more in the future, she is currently happy and feeling great. She also has a heart murmur and although on medication is asymptomatic. Mochi is calm, affectionate, and loyal, confident and easygoing, loves frozen Kongs, and is great on leash.
Cricket is an 8+ year old, 13 lb Chihuahua. She is a gentle, sensitive soul who has overcome so much. She arrived with a large hernia and a damaged eye—both now successfully treated. Today, she's finally living pain-free. She's shy at first, but once she trusts you, she melts into soft affection and belly rubs. Cricket leans on Mochi for confidence, and their bond is truly something special. Cricket is sweet, gentle, and loving, gains confidence from Mochi, loves bully sticks, and prefers shredded chicken mixed with kibble. Cricket and Mochi have been through everything side by side—surgeries, recovery, and uncertainty. Their bond provides comfort, confidence, and security for both of them. They are a true pair—and will only be adopted together.
Ideal Home
These girls are looking for a calm, stable home where they can continue to thrive together. A fenced yard is required, and they cannot live in apartments as Cricket is still building leash confidence. They ideally would not have small children, but would do well with calm, respectful, dog-friendly dogs.
Ongoing Health
Mochi has had several masses removed, all benign, and while she may develop more in the future, she is currently happy and feeling great.
