Story
This is the third husky I’ve had, wonderful dog and amazing breed. He is a purebred dog from a line that has been bred since the 1950’s so he’s 100% husky. The issuei am having is my role has changed for work, and I am now required to travel 90% of the time. He’s not getting the attention, work, or love he needs and I don’t want to continue to have to board him, as he has anxiety when it’s too long. He loves people, dogs, kids, and just about everything except maybe small outdoor creatures. He’s all up to date on shots, heartworm, flea and tick prevention. When I’m able he gets 5 good walks a day, and tug and play time at home. He has attended some daycare to socialize and also socializes on walks. He’d be very good as himself or part of a pack.

Story
Jameson is a rescue dog who we adopted through Hearts & Bones in NYC (https://heartsandbonesrescue.org/). He is a loyal, loving, snuggly dog who we have made the difficult decision to rehome due to Jameson’s fear of our toddler. Jameson would thrive in a calm, child-free home in the suburbs with a new owner who can be patient and gentle with Jameson's anxieties (of loud noises, strangers, and sometimes other dogs). Beyond that, Jameson doesn’t require much, just someone who will love him, throw toys for him to chase, and give him scratches. If you do that, he will give you more love than you can imagine. Jameson’s new owner would ideally have a fenced-in yard because while Jameson does not enjoy walks on a leash, he loves exploring and running around in a fenced-in backyard.

Story
May is a sweet, smart and energetic girl who is approximately 2 years old. She was adopted from a shelter and she is not good with our cats. In addition she is crated for too long during the day. She needs someone who is home and can give her daily exercise. She is anxious when left alone and takes medication. She is crated during the day while we are at work. It is a very long day for her. We keep her on a leash in the house while the cats are out, for the cats safety. She loves to run in the yard and play ball. She is very affectionate and sleeps in the bed with us at night. She deserves someone who is home more and where she can be the only pet.

Story
Rocky is a blue Merle cocker spaniel. He’s up to date on all shots and is neutered. He’s a good boy and uses a doggie door to potty. He has very high energy, he rarely sits still. Loves to run in the yard and play ball. He barks when he sees other dogs on walks or at the vet. But lives with another dog and they get along good. He needs a yard or farm and a lot of attention. My mom had a stroke and I care for her so I can’t give him the attention he deserves.

Meet Ducky! This 6 month ball an energy is a fantastic puppy. She is full of energy. She loves to go on walks and to play with balls. She’s working on what it means to play fetch. She currently lives with 3 cats and has no problem with them. She needs a home with no young children as she doesn’t understand yet how not to be rough with them. Bigger kids would be fine.

Story
Honey came to me about a year ago and had excelled in house and crate training. Unfortunately with a stroke of unfortunate events my fiance and I had a living situation change where she is not getting along with the other household dog. She is overall calm and sweet just would be best as an only pet. She loves people, cuddling on the couch, going for walks/runs, chewing her favorite bone and basking in the sun
