Story
Meet DAKOTA Look at the gorgeous markings on Dapper DAKOTA! The only thing more special is his spirit! This wonderful, kind, playful, affectionate boy is an incredible pup who would love to have a family to call his own. DAKOTA likes all people, dogs, and belly rubs! He loves to play, but is more mellow than a lot of huskies, although he does occasionally get the happy zoomies!. DAKOTA walks nicely on a leash and enjoys making new friends. He's also a smaller guy at about 48 lbs. and is less than 2 years old. DAKOTA makes everyone he meets HAPPY! Don't you want to give him a chance?

Story
Kaya is a 4.5-year-old spayed Black Lab/Hound mix with a big heart, gentle soul, and adventurous spirit. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, up to date on shots, and loves her crate as her cozy safe space. Rescued from Oklahoma at 1 year old, Kaya has grown into a loving, loyal companion. She’s very affectionate, emotionally intuitive, and would make a wonderful emotional support dog for the right person. Nicknamed “Miss Aloha,” she loves to say hi to everyone. She’s treat-motivated, knows basic commands, and responds well to structure. Kaya does well with calm dogs but can be anxious around large or energetic ones. She hasn’t lived with cats but is curious. Kaya also has a sensitive stomach and anxiety, so she needs a patient home with routine, reassurance, and plenty of love. She thrives in active homes with a yard, nature time, and snuggles. Kaya is ready for her next chapter—one filled with understanding, support, and adventure.
