Story
I rescued Maggie a year ago in July of 2023. Maggie is very shy until she gets to know you. Maggie loves to be scratched all over which is something she wasn't used to in the beginning. Maggie is just a lay back girl and when she wants something she will let you know. She is very scared of thunderstorms and we've had to medicate her during that time. I do take Maggie for walks on a leash. Took about a month before she got used to it but now it's very easy for her. Maggie is a very good eater. She loves fresh chicken, and loves her pup cup ice creams. I've always fed her three times a day. Maggie loves to be outside when it's not excessively hot and that is why I keep her groomed every 5 to 6 weeks. She is a mixed shepherd pyrenees. She was used to being around other animals when we rescued her. I have two cats and she's never been aggressive but barks at them at times. Maggie can be a protector like if someone knocks on the door. You would definitely fall in love with her!

Story
Jax is almost 9 years old but you wouldn’t know it by his personality. He’s very loving and playful. I adopted him when he was 3. He’s house trained, leash trained and crate trained. He’s loyal and obedient and great with kids. He’s an alpha dog so his reaction to other dogs can go either way but he’s not naturally aggressive. I don’t really want to part with him but my home situation is changing and I just can’t accommodate his size anymore. Hoping someone can take him in and love him like I do, and understand the personality of huskies, social butterflies that they are. And yes, he does do the husky talking.

Story
Honey was an owner surrender after heath issues caused him to no longer be able to care for her. She is young and energetic but a sweet girl who gets along with the other dogs at the shelter. She has a beautiful spotted coat and would do well with an active family who can give her some training and let her release her puppy energy!

Story
Jack was transferred to us from a partner shelter. He is a very sweet dog who gets along really well with other dogs. He loves attention and being close to his people. He walks well on a leash. He can be a little timid at first but warms up fast. He has not been cat tested yet but we can do that upon request. He would be best fit for a family without small children as they can scare him.

Story
Raider was an owner surrender. He is a beautiful puppy, but we do not know who his parents are. He has a nice white and brindle color. He is 10-12 weeks old. He is a spunky puppy who is not scared of anything! He really likes toys and loves children. He would fit into any household as long as you are prepared for typical puppy behavior! He will most likely be a large dog when he is full grown. His neuter is included in his adoption fee, so he will need to be brought back to us in a few weeks when he is just a little older.

Story
Sammy came to us as a stray, so we do not know much of his background! He is a sweet boy who is a little shy at first but warms up fast. He seems to have an old injury that makes him walk a little funny but that doesnt stop him from living life! He keeps his kennel very clean and seems to be house trained!
