Cricket and Mochi are a bonded pair who have overcome so much and are finally ready for a forever home—together. These sweet, gentle, and loving girls have a story to tell, and it's one of resilience and unwavering companionship.
Cricket and Mochi were part of a heartbreaking surrender of 10 dogs when their owner entered a nursing home. Project Freedom Ride helped bring them to safety, and after multiple surgeries, dentals, and lots of TLC, these brave ladies are now healthy, comfortable, and ready for their next chapter—always together.
Meet Mochi
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 is on medication.
Mochi's Highlights:
- Calm, affectionate, and loyal
- Confident and easygoing
- Loves frozen Kongs
- Great on leash
Meet Cricket
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's Highlights:
- Sweet, gentle, and loving
- Gains confidence from Mochi
- Loves bully sticks
- 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 will need a fenced yard, and apartments are not suitable as Cricket is still building leash confidence. Ideally, a home without small children would be best. They are good with calm, respectful dogs and are 90% housebroken, though Mochi seems to be slower to catch on. They are also crate trained.
Ongoing Health
Mochi has had several benign masses removed and has a heart murmur for which she is on medication. Cricket had a large hernia and a damaged eye, both of which have been successfully treated.
Training & Support
Cricket is still building confidence on leash and can be shy initially. Mochi is 90% housebroken.
