Story
I have had Leo since he was 2 months old. I got him for mother's day one year and he was bought from a man that breeds huskies. Leo is very playful and active but also with about 20 mins of being active he just hangs out and lays around the house. He loves the snow and running around after tennis balls. He is great with kids. He sleeps in a crate and likes to go in his crate when he is tired or socializing. Leo doesn't do the annoying crazy husky cry... He does howl or has a little bark when he needs to go outside to do his business. Other than that, he is pretty quiet. He will let u know when he wants a treat and guide you to where they are hahaha

Story
Baymax is such a loving boy ! It breaks my heart to have to find him a new home . He is very down to earth & extremely loyal to his person.. He has played with 1 other German Shepard, He is house trained/crate trained knows it by “crate” , he has pretty good recall as well. Knows basic commands , sit , paw , touch , down , crate , stay , leave it . When feeding if you tell him to “leave it” he will until you say “free” he is good to leave roaming around the home but if you prefer to crate him he is good as well . He is not a huge fan of being looked at in the eyes if you’re not his owner . He will bark if someone gets too close or stares at him in the eyes . He is a “ on my time “ kinda dog when it comes to meeting new people we have been working on it as he is doing better little by little . Overall amazing pup! We just want him to be with a happy home ! Very smart boy! We adore Baymax & want him to go to an awesome home where he can thrive & be silly & be spoiled more then ever 🥹💗

Story
Lola is a spunky little dog. She loves pets, snuggles, walks, and to be close to everyone. We received her through a breeder and she has been a great addition to our houses Unfortunately, due to a separation she is not getting the love and attention she deserves. We would love her to be a part of a home that has time to pet her, take her for walks, and give her love. She knows a few commands and is house trained.

Story
Archie is good with most other dogs, and is getting better everyday! He loves engaging and learning new things, and has earned his AKC Trick Dog Novice certification! He is a great hiking and running partner as well. Archie is a pure puppy. He needs continued guidance in settling when he is over excited. He can be nervous when meeting new people, but does well with structure. CRCCS will be happy to show you how Archie prefers to be introduced and settled! Archie needs someone with a very active lifestyle, that can also continue his structure both in public, and in the home. He would enjoy having another playful companion to help burn some of that extra energy!
