Cricket and Mochi are a bonded pair of sweet, gentle, and loving senior ladies who have overcome so much and are finally ready for a forever home—together. They were surrendered 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 next chapter.
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 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, which is why they are being adopted as a bonded pair. Cricket 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 suited for apartment living as Cricket is still building leash confidence. Ideally, they would not be placed in a home with small children. They are dog-friendly and prefer calm, respectful dogs. They are approximately 90% housebroken, with Mochi seeming to be slower to catch on. They are also crate trained.
Ongoing Health
Mochi has had several masses removed that were benign. She may develop more in the future but is currently happy and feeling great. She also has a heart murmur and is on medication but is asymptomatic. Cricket had a large hernia and a damaged eye which have both been successfully treated.
Training & Support
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.
