The Trio That Started It All
Three unique souls, one big mission. Meet the very first residents to call our shelters home.

Bamboo
Bamboo is an energetic panda who thinks she’s a dog! Raised around pups, she barks, leans for cuddles, and has a wonderfully dramatic personality. Whether she’s "asking" to go outside or climbing her favorite trees, her joyful spirit is infectious.

Polka

Milena is our resident gentle giant, a total lovebug with a heart of gold. She is happiest when she is getting attention or out exploring on a solo roam, balancing her high energy play with quiet moments to herself. Baths aren’t exactly her favorite thing so we keep her relaxed with plenty of calming treats and a patient touch. Between her sweet nature and big personality, she is impossible not to fall in love with.

Aspen is a gentle white tailed deer with a lot of curiosity. Her story is truly one of a kind. She was found in the woods with her best friend and protector, a hunting dog named Hachiko. Because they were inseparable, Aspen grew up picking up all of his habits. She barks, leans in for cuddles, and even follows the same food and potty routines as the dogs. She is a sweet, graceful soul who is part deer and part pup in spirit.

Personality Loyal, smart
-
Energy Level: Low, professional napper
-
Motivation Highly driven by treats and snacks
Luna is a sweet, loyal soul with a calm and gentle personality. She is incredibly smart and understands her humans better than most, though she is a total couch potato at heart. While she takes her time getting to the training grounds (she would almost always rather be napping), she is surprisingly good at following commands once the treats come out. Steady, patient, and a little bit funny, Luna brings a sense of warmth and comfort to everyone she meets.
Roma

Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog
-
Sex: Male
-
Lifestage: Adult
-
Care Status: Partly in foster care/ Partly in Shelter
-
Location: Hachiko Animal Rescue
-
Foster: Willow Tyler / Newcrest
Roma is a fluffy, snack loving couch potato with a heart full of charm. He spends most of his time enjoying long naps, hunting for sneaky treats, and watching the shelter fun from his favorite comfy spot. He came to us when his previous family found his high shedding and specific care needs a bit too much to manage. He is a very well behaved boy and already has three adoption applications in the works.
Midnight

-
123-456-7890
Midnight is a loyal and gentle pitbull with a massive heart. He is a fan of the simple life, mostly spending his time relaxing around the shelter, snacking, and making new friends. While he loves his cozy downtime, he is always ready for a cuddle. Midnight had a tough start, coming to us after housing restrictions and a family move meant he couldn't stay in his previous home. Though he struggled with separation anxiety at first, he has grown into a confident, happy boy who is ready for his next chapter.
Ami

-
123-456-7890
Ami is a confident and affectionate girl who perfectly blends playful charm with a bit of wild grace. She is a skilled mushroom hunter with sharp instincts and a curious soul that leads her on endless adventures. While she loves her independence and freedom, she is deeply loyal and never stays far from the people she loves. Smart, brave, and full of energy, Ami is always eager to learn and brings a bright spirit to every moment.
