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 looking for a home where they can continue to thrive.

Some dogs come into rescue with a story... Cricket and Mochi came with 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: 7+ years old, 14 lbs, 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: 8+ years old, 13 lbs, 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. 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. A fenced yard is required, and apartments are not suitable as Cricket is still building leash confidence. Ideally, a home without small children and with dog-friendly, calm, and respectful dogs would be best. They are 90% housebroken, with Mochi seeming to take a little longer to catch on. They are also crate trained.

Ongoing Health

Mochi had several masses removed, all of which were benign. She may develop more in the future, but she is currently happy and feeling great. She also has a heart murmur and is on medication for it; she is currently asymptomatic. Cricket arrived with a large hernia and a damaged eye, both of which have been successfully treated, and she is now living pain-free.

Training & Support

Mochi seems to be a bit slower to become fully housebroken compared to Cricket. Continued positive reinforcement and patience will help her fully achieve this goal.
