Cricket

Cricket and Mochi are a bonded pair who have overcome so much and are finally ready for a forever home—together. They are sweet, gentle, and full of love.

These two resilient girls were part of a heartbreaking surrender 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—together. Always together.

Meet Mochi

Mochi is 7+ years old, weighs 14 lbs, and is a Wire-Haired Terrier Mix. Mochi 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.

Meet Cricket

Cricket is 8+ years old, weighs 13 lbs, and is a Chihuahua. Cricket 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, which is why they are being adopted as a bonded pair. Cricket is sweet, gentle, and loving, gains confidence from Mochi, loves bully sticks, and prefers shredded chicken mixed with kibble.

Ideal Home

These girls are looking for a calm, stable home where they can continue to thrive together. They require a fenced yard and are not suitable for apartments as Cricket is still building leash confidence. They would ideally not be in a home with small children. They are looking for a dog-friendly environment, preferring calm, respectful dogs. They are 90% housebroken, though Mochi seems to be slower to catch on. They are also crate trained.

Ongoing Health

Mochi has a heart murmur and is on medication but is asymptomatic. She has had several masses removed that were benign, and may develop more in the future. Cricket had a large hernia and a damaged eye, both of which have been successfully treated.

Training & Support

While Cricket and Mochi are 90% housebroken, Mochi may require a bit more patience in this area. They are both crate trained. Cricket is still building leash confidence, which is why a fenced yard and no apartments are a requirement.
