Story
Meet Lucky, a big, lovable boy with an even bigger heart. Lucky loves spending time with his people and is happiest when he's getting affection and companionship. Lucky isn't a big fan of car rides and has required lifting previously so please don't expect him to accompany you everywhere you go.Volunteers find Lucky an easy, pleasant companion who walks with a calm, steady energy. He enjoys taking his time sniffing in slow, relaxed circles, clearly enjoying the chance to explore. He will lean in for gentle petting, closing the gap for gentle petting, staying connected. So if you are feeling lucky, then perhaps Lucky may just be that companion you've been looking for! Primary Color: White Weight: 107 Age: 6yrs 7mths 2wks

Story
Mary Claire just about sums up what one would expect when adopting a Siberian Husky! This beauty is clever, determined, and often charming. A family committed to managing her environment to mitigate escape behavior and enjoying walks using a long line and no agenda will have a blast with this girl. Mary Claire will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age and no cats. If considered for a multi-dog home, a meet at the shelter is recommended prior to adoption. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 48 Age: 9yrs 2mths 1wks

Little Maya is a fun and active puppy! She is recommended for an experienced, good-natured family who can manage her environment carefully to minimize her food and object guarding from people.
