Story
Chief is a very sweet, loving husky who is fully house-trained and knows a few tricks. He is a total sucker for belly and back scratches and will happily beg for them. He’s 5 years old, 80lbs , very vocal, and maturing more every day. When left out in the house, you’ll usually find him playing with his toys or stretched out on the couch. We had him since 4 months old and he has the personality to keep you entertained! He does great with larger dogs, but he does have a dominant personality. He prefers not to share food or toys with other dogs, but has no problem sharing with people. He is a very good with people and children. Chief is our big lover boy! He absolutely loves kids, but being busy parents with a newborn arriving soon, we know we won’t be able to give him the time, attention, and energy he truly deserves. Because we love him so deeply, we want to find a home where he can continue to be someone’s baby and receive the love , affection, and structure he thrives on.

Story
Biscuit was found dumped with her littermate in February 2025. She is spayed, microchipped, leash trained!, and current on all shots and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. She is about 14 months old and fully grown at 37lbs. I’m going through a divorce and having to downsize my home. Biscuit was previously adopted in October 2025, but was returned by her adopter due to adopter's unexpected medical issues. Biscuit is obedience trained and very cuddly. She is still young, with medium-high energy levels that are easily controlled by one or two short walks daily.

Story
I need to rehome my sweet boy Goose. He and my other male dog do not get along, and it has become too difficult to keep them apart all the time, so I am looking for him a home with no other dogs. He is up to date on all shots, has been neutered, and is house trained. He is 3 years old, loves to play, and cuddling is his favorite. He is the sweetest baby, he just has a dominace issue with my other dog. If you are interested, I will come to you and bring him to meet you. It does not matter how far I just want to find him a loving home. Please if you are interested or know someone who is message me.
