Story

Phoebe (A137151) is a 16-week-old Cairn Terrier x Samoyed mix who weighed just under 12 pounds on intake!01/06/25 This super sweet litter of pups are looking for their new places to call home! They are an interesting mix, with their mom stated to be a Cairn Terrier and their dad a Samoyed x Akita mix. They have all been very outgoing and energetic while at the shelter. In typical puppy fashion they will need help with potty training, kennel training, basic commands, and positive socialization. We encourage their next owner to bring them to a puppy obedience class for the added bonus of socialization. Puppies are a lot of work but worth it if you have the time to invest in them. If you have been considering adding a puppy to your family, please consider adopting and give us a call! January 9, 2025, 11:46 pm

Story

Whiskey (A137033) is an 4-year-old Alaskan husky who weighed almost 60 lbs at intake!12/28/24 This ragtag little team of huskies was brought to the shelter because their previous musher did not feel they had the endurance for the longer races they wanted to do. Jim Jim, Charlie, Alphie, Delta, Zulu, Oscar and Whiskey have only ever lived as outside dogs, so it may take them a little time to adjust to indoor life, including potty training. All seven of these dogs were a little uncomfortable walking on tile floor when they arrived at the shelter, so they are also hoping their next homes will be patient in helping them learn the ropes of indoor life. Although they were booted from their last team, they still have a lot of energy and may just need a recreational musher or one who does shorter races. Jim Jim was said to have been a great leader in the past. If you are interested in meeting any of these happy sled dogs, please give the shelter a call!January 9, 2025, 3:38 pm

Story

Koda (A134187) is a 1-year-and-1-month-old Maremma Sheepdog who weighed 81.5 pounds on intake! 01/08/25 This handsome big boy is Koda! Koda was surrendered to the shelter because his owner realized that they could not provide him with the space and attention he needed to live his best life. Koda had started to herd the children in the home and is looking for a home that can provide him with a job. He may do best in a home without young children because of this behavior. Koda was described as outgoing, friendly, and affectionate! He was said to do well with other dogs but has no history with cats, pocket pets, or livestock. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with any and all new friends. Koda was said to be housebroken and to know a few basic commands like sit and laydown! He is still young and eager to learn! We encourage his next owner to bring him to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on his manners and to learn another trick or two! Koda was known to have a few naughty habits like digging and chewing. He hopes to find a home that can provide him with outlets for his energy! If you are interested in meeting Koda, please let us know! January 8, 2025, 9:31 pm
