Cassie

Kathy Garbutt reached out hoping to adopt either Javadi or Cassie. Her family was looking for an adult or senior dog who would be a good match for their 7‑year‑old mixed breed, Willow. The Garbutts brought Willow to meet both dogs, and the introductions went well — steady and polite.

But the moment that sealed the deal came when Cassie rushed through the door, ran straight to the family, and showered them with hugs, kisses, and enthusiastic lap‑sits. In that instant, it was clear she had chosen them just as much as they had chosen her.

Cassie, now Mochi, will now be heading to her new home in Flower Mound, TX, where potty training should go smoothly with a work‑from‑home dad, a part‑time work‑from‑home mom, and Willow helping guide her along. One thing for certain is this five‑year‑old girl is about to be loved in a way she’s never known before.

Happy life, sweet Mochi — your best days are just beginning.
