Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Rizzmo is a 13-year-old gentleman hoping to find a cozy home where he can be comfortable, cherished, and deeply loved. In his foster home, he's proven to be incredibly sweet and snuggly-often found napping on the couch beside his foster sister, Crumb, soaking up quiet moments and enjoying the simple comforts of home. When not napping, Rizzmo enjoys hanging out in the kitchen, waiting for his next snack.

After losing the only home he's ever known, Rizzmo has shown incredible resilience and has adjusted to foster care with quiet strength. As his fosters say it best, "We love Rizzmo so much and he is a joy to have around. He is so silly and sweet. I'm always impressed with him!"

As a senior boy, Rizzmo does have multiple medical conditions require ongoing management in his adoptive home. In return, he offers a calm, comforting presence, a playful spark, and a heart full of devotion. He's simply hoping for a soft place to land and someone to share his golden years with.

This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
