2026 Summer Adventure Gallery: July 26–August 1

Meet Mochi & Sumi — a perfect duo of calm vibes and nonstop chaos! Mochi (9 months old) was found in my garage after accidentally getting stuck in there for a week without food or water. I’m still amazed he survived! He was about 3 or 4 months old at the time. He started out very shy and spooked by everything, but slowly turned into a sweet, cuddly boy who loves quiet snuggles and feeling safe. He’s the “watch first, trust later” type, happiest when things are calm and predictable. Sumi (3 months old) is the baby kitten who was found in a bag left in the Fremont Main Library when she was only about 4 weeks old. She is playful, super friendly, outgoing, and completely fearless. Her daily schedule is simple: play, zoom, pounce, repeat (with breaks only for food and naps). Nothing intimidates her, and everything is an adventure. The best part? These two opposites became best friends in just a week. Now Mochi sits back like a tiny critic, calmly observing Sumi’s nonstop comedy show of chaos. She brings the energy, he brings the chill, and together they make the perfect little team.

Mr. T was named after an actor/pro-wrestler because he's just that tough! He's a brindle colored chihuahua mix, adopted from Merced Animal Shelter when he was a young gentleman. Mr. T is very serious about taking care of business, but don't tell anyone: he's secretly a cuddle bug! His ideal body temperature is 120 degrees Fahrenheit, preferably burrowed under blankets and pillows. He will sleep longer than anyone in the house, then zooms into the kitchen immediately before breakfast is served. Even though his legs are very tiny, he runs,  hikes, and plays with the big dogs. Mr. T only weighs 8 pounds but faces challenges with gusto: be brave like Mr. T!
