Story
Sandy is a very cuddly, loving malamute male who loves people but not other dogs. He came from a tough background, fighting with male dogs, and being crated most of his life. Given this, he can be jumpy and leash reactive toward other animals. We've had him professionally trained by multiple trainers, and he's learned to successfully walk on a leash, he doesn't resource guard with food or toys. He'd be best suited for a space where he's not walking around other dogs constantly - a quiet neighborhood or big yard/farm. We've seen him with kids on a few occasions and he appears to behave well. Most of all, he craves affection and wants to be hugged/cuddled at every opportunity. He doesn't love car rides, but he'd make a great house companion, and really has a heart of gold despite being reactive toward other dogs.

Story
Hi. My name is Nyla! I am 4 years old. My birthday is November 4th 2019. My whole life I have lived in the same home with my family. I have experience with two young babies. Although I can be very energetic, I do love a good belly rub. Some tricks I learned at home were play dead, sit, stand, speak, roll over, lay, shake, and even what’s up! I am a happy and very playful dog. I love going on walks, but going to the dog park is my fav!! I get along with big and small dogs. My favorite snack is definitely apples and peanut butter. I am super food motivated. I hope to find a new home with a loving energetic family just like me!

Story
Buddy is currently in Sweetwater, TN but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee! We use Rescue Riders Transport (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road! Buddy was discovered covered in ticks (14 to be exact), emaciated, and matted by a Good Samaritan who searched for his owners to no avail. They got in contact with us and we made room for this special guy at our rescue! Buddy is DEAF but he doesn’t let that stop him!! He loves to use his nose to explore the world around him and still loves to talk to you like your typical husky/malamute mix. 🥰 He can also feel vibrations and this can be a good way to get his attention. Buddy currently lives in a dog run with a doggie door and access to a potty room. Buddy has done well with the 3 year old human on the property and every dog he’s met! He does like to use his nose and paws to greet and communicate with new dogs and humans, so if your dog doesn’t like other dogs in their space, Buddy may not be a good fit for your home. He takes correction from other dogs VERY well and he is all around a goofy, even tempered guy! One of our wonderful volunteers has been working with Buddy on learning hand signals and he is very smart! He knows ‘sit, come here’ and is learning other commands as well. He was cat tested and did great! Please contact us if you would like videos of this interaction! He weighs approximately 69 lbs but is a big boy and is expected to be around 90-100 at his ideal weight! The vet believes he is around 2-3 years old.

Baltimore, MD
Size

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Haku means "pure" in Japanese! I was named for my pure, passionate and overwhelming love for everyone around me! I came to the rescue when my dad was stationed in Japan and heartbroken that he couldn't take me with him. I've missed him so much ever since! Everyday I do the things I did with him with other dogs so I can try and remember what it felt like to be with him! But it's just not the same. So, I'm hoping a new family can come scoop me up and show me what it feels like to be a part of a home and family again! I am good with other dogs, I love playing chase with them or tugging on chew toys. I'll need a happy and active home so that my life will be full of love and fun! I am a bit anxious and nervous around new people, and people in general! Slow introductions, a safe space I can retreat to like a crate and not forcing me into spaces with tons of people will help me be myself all the time! Haku can only be adopted in the local or TX area. Local adoption only, in San Antonio or TX area, $200.

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

If you do, Alaska is waiting for you! This beauty queen is one of those breeds (Akita) that has it all. Alaska is a sturdy miss with a flair for turning heads. She is that gorgeous! She was found as a stray and like many lost dogs, she needed time to adjust. We worked with this girl- who just so happens to be very food motivated- and she is now ready for the next chapter of her life. She is a very sweet girl who has found her inner bounce- yes, she has an adorable little prancing walk that is going to make you smile. And we even caught her once chasing a butterfly! Ready for a busy pup that needs a job and lots of activities? Alaska is calling you! PS- Alaska is a shedding machine so keep that dog hairbrush as well as your vacuum cleaner on hand!
