This cutie with the underbite is Finn. Finn is an 8 year old Pug mix and is just a big love.

This little guy was an owner surrender and was the (big) brother to 3 kid human siblings but due to some complications, his family had to give him up. He is great with people and dogs.

Finn is a smart and gentle boy and knows his basic commands. He’ll do anything for treats and a good cuddle.

Imagine being turned into the shelter and being red-listed simply because there’s just too many dogs.

This is the face we couldn’t say “no” to and we’re so glad because Moon has been nothing short of pure sunshine (despite her name being Moon). Moon is approx 1.5 years old, 37lbs and has a low-shedding coat (she is not hypoallergenic)

She is so playful, friendly with dogs, and great with meeting new people. She LOVES kids. She has a very young, playful demeanor and would love an active family to take her out on adventures since sniffing and exploring on her walks are one of her favorite things.

Apply to meet Moon at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Ollie is a 4-year-old Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix who weighs just under 30 lbs—but don’t let his size fool you, because this guy’s got big personality energy. Equal parts snuggler, sidekick, and social butterfly, Ollie is basically the dog version of your favorite feel-good movie.

He’s friendly with people, gets along great with other dogs, and always has his tail wagging like he just heard the word “treat.” Whether you’re heading out for a walk, chilling on the couch, or throwing a backyard BBQ, Ollie’s just happy to be included (and maybe score a snack or two).

Sweet and always up for fun—Ollie’s ready to bring the happy to your home.

~IN CASE YOU MISSED IT~

Here’s a glimpse from our last adoption event/Puppy Yoga. Huge thank you to and for having us and hosting puppy yoga! And thank you to for providing the treats for the dogs. They are 10/10 taste-test approved!

All the dogs that attended (Leilani, Boogs, Jasmine, Hoppy, Gebel, Simon, Scamp, Finn, and puppies Scout, Harley, and Marley) had a blast and are still awaiting their forever homes!

Make sure to keep in contact and follow for your realty needs and to see when the next puppy-related event could be đŸ§˜đŸ»â€â™€ïžđŸ¶

Meet Gebel. Gebel is one of the most inspiring dogs we have at the rescue. He is around 2 year old and 30lbs. He was rescued from Armenia where he wasn’t treated very well. He was thrown off the balcony as a young pup and although suffered no significant brain damage, lost most of his vision (so he can see shadows).

Despite his past, Gebel is still so trusting of people and loves everyone. You can tell he is grateful to be here, where he knows he is loved. He is very affectionate and he gets along great with other dogs. In fact, he loves following lead on whichever dog he is closest to but is confident in walking around outside. It’s very sweet, as Gebel feels more comfortable navigating new territory with his dog friends.

The last chocolate bar puppy left. đŸ«đŸ¶đŸ„ș

Snickers is ready to steal your heart. He’s curious and sweet. He is approx 14 weeks old and currently under 10lbs. He has a semi wide-haired coat and the cutest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen.

Snickers’ ideal home will have another playful dog and a family to love on him.
Apply for Snickers at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Ripley is a young Malinois that came to us as a stray. He is outgoing, agile, and very smart. He is amazing with dogs and friendly with people.

He enjoys pack walks and is eager to please and show affection.

We’d love for Ripley’s forever family be familiar with working breeds, to continue to work with him mentally and physically.

Apply to meet Ripley at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Gabbi is a 3-year-old cutie weighs in at just 11 lbs and has a heart as big as her ears. Gabbi may be a little bashful at first, but once she feels safe, she’s incredibly sweet and loyal. She’s still building her confidence—especially on walks—so she’s looking for a patient, understanding home that can continue to help her blossom. Her foster mom is doing an amazing job at celebrating her small wins!

Gabbi thrives in a calm, low-traffic environment and would do best in an adults-only home (or one with respectful teens 14+). She’s not a fit for a busy household, but she’ll shine in a quieter home where she can truly bond with her people.

If you’ve got a gentle heart and a little extra time to help Gabbi grow into her best self, she just might be your perfect match. Apply to meet her at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Meet Hoppy – The Tripawd Who’s All Sass, Fluff, and Love! If you’re looking for a dog that’s 33% less leg but 100% more personality, look no further than Hoppy – the three-legged Husky sensation taking the rescue world by storm!

At just 5 months old and about 25lbs (mostly floof), Hoppy has already mastered the art of winning hearts. She’s got the goofy charm of a cartoon character, the cuddly energy of a teddy bear, and the grace of a baby deer on a trampoline – and yes, she absolutely rocks life on three legs.

Hoppy is:
‱A certified people magnet (expect compliments wherever you go)
‱A pro at doggy meet-and-greets (tail wags guaranteed)
‱Obsessed with plushies, snacks, and snuggles

Don’t let the missing leg fool you — Hoppy is as happy as they come. The only thing she’s missing is a forever home (and maybe a sibling pup to cuddle with). Bonus: Despite being a Husky, she’s not planning any jailbreaks — her name might be Hoppy, but fence-hopping isn’t on her resume.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply for Hoppy at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Note: Hoppy is awaiting her spay appointment so any dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered.

At just 1 year old and 14 pounds of pure charm, Bordeaux is a dog who’s aged like fine wine (minus the drama).

Bordeaux has a gentle soul and a calm demeanor. He might play it cool at first (classic introvert move), but give him a little time and he’ll be quietly following the pack like the low-key social butterfly he is. He doesn’t need to be velcroed to your side—he just likes knowing he’s in the room where it happens.

He’s dog-friendly, people-curious, and always down to vibe. If you’re looking for a sweet sidekick who prefers chill hangs over clingy chaos, Bordeaux is your guy.

Bonus: He won’t judge your wine choices.

Apply to meet him at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html
