This week’sFolsom Times Shelter Pet Spotlight, presented byDorothea’s Shoppe of Historic Folsom, home to Christmas all year long and more, features a sweet and curious pup named Mimosa. This 1-year-old Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog mix is full of potential and looking for a loving family to help her blossom. Mimosa is currently residing at Sacramento County Animal Services’ Bradshaw Shelter.
Mimosa is a female, black and white Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog mix, estimated to be about 1 year and 1 month old. She weighs approximately 40 pounds and has been at the shelter since Oct. 30, 2025. True to her herding breed roots, Mimosa is intelligent, alert, and observant—traits that will shine even brighter in the right home.
Currently sharing a kennel with two dogs she arrived with, Mimosa has done well with her shelter companions and recently met some social dogs in playgroups. While she hasn’t been ready to play just yet, staff are hopeful that with more time and comfort, her silly and social side will soon emerge.
If you’re looking for a buddy for your own pup, Mimosa might be just the match. Bring your dog to the shelter for a meet-and-greet and see how they connect. You can evencheck out her playgroup video hereto see how she interacts with others.
If you’d like to meet Mimosa in person, visit Sacramento County Animal Care Services at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. The shelter is open for adoptions Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., with extended hours until 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Adoptions are first-come, first-served, so be sure to bring a valid ID and make note of Mimosa’s Animal ID number—and any others you may want to meet—to help expedite the process.
If you’d like to see other adoptable pets, stop by the shelter or view available animals online athttps://animalcare.saccounty.gov. With dozens of dogs, cats, and more awaiting homes, you just might find your perfect companion.
By adopting Mimosa—or one of her shelter friends—you’ll be offering a second chance to a dog in need and making space for others still waiting. Mimosa is ready to spend every breakfast—and every moment—by your side in a home filled with love, playtime, and second chances.
