Cricket

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 are ready to fill your life with joy.

Cricket and Mochi came into rescue with a story that’s more like a whole chapter book. These two 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—together. Always together.

Meet Mochi: Mochi is 7+ years old, 14 lbs, and 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. Mochis Highlights include being calm, affectionate, and loyal, confident and easygoing, loving frozen Kongs, and great on leash.

Meet Cricket: Cricket is 8+ years old, 13 lbs, and 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 we are adopting them as a bonded pair. Crickits Highlights include being sweet, gentle, and loving, gaining confidence from Mochi, loving bully sticks, and preferring 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 suited for apartment living as Cricket is still building leash confidence. They would ideally do best in a home without small children and prefer calm, respectful, dog-friendly companions. They are 90% housebroken, though Mochi seems to be slower to catch on. They are also crate trained.

Ongoing Health

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

Training & Support

Mochi is still working on her housebreaking, and Cricket is still building leash confidence.
