Story

Lilo (A140931) is a 3-year-old AK Husky x Pointer mix who weighed 50 pounds on intake!01/22/26 These eager-to-go pups were surrendered to the shelter because their owner is facing some medical concerns and is unable to provide them with the lifestyle they need. They are working dogs and were said to be wonderful sled dogs! All these pups were stated to get along well with other dogs and are great pullers. They are accustomed to living out on a dog house but were said to have enjoyed coming inside during that super cold snap. However, they are not housebroken, and if you do plan on transitioning them to indoors, they will need help adjusting to indoor living â&#194&#128&#194&#147 potty training, kennel training, basic commands, etc. They know mushing commands but that is about it. They would love to join a rec team or even to become your adventure buddy if you live an active lifestyle â&#194&#128&#194&#147 skijoring, bikejoring, or even becoming your hiking buddy! Anything to keep them both mentally and physically stimulated so they stay out of trouble! If you are interested in meeting any of this crew or possibly the whole gang, please let us know!

Story

Shadow is a 4-year-old Mastiff x Lab mix who weighed 112.1 pounds on intake! He is quite chunky and needs to loose a few pounds!03/01/26 Shadow is back! In his most recent home he was described as being gentle when playing, housebroken, outgoing, rides well in the car, and kennel trained! But he is a chewer, likes to get in the trash, and can be a little stubborn. He also needs to be fed seperatly from ALL other animals as he can be sensitive around his food. He will need to have planned meals, as he tends to over eat when freely fed. He was assessed by the shelter vet who stated his ideal weight should be nearing 85 pounds. We encourage his next owner to work with their vet on helping him shed those pounds! Smaller frequent meals help. Like any animal it is important to make introductions with any new friend in a slow and controlled manner.

However, he can be very excitable and does like to jump on people. Shadow was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and rides well in cars. When his owner is not home, Shadow was said to be kept in the kennel as he was known to chew and get into the trash if given the opportunity.

He was said to generally be gentle but can become irritable if the other dog does not give him space. Appropriate introductions are important in helping set him up for success! We have found at the shelter that Shadow is very treat-motivated, which can be great with training. He is a sweet boy looking for his next person to love! If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know!02/19/24 Shadow was returned to the shelter because his adoptive owner could no longer care for him.

If you are interested in meeting Shadow, please let us know! 01/31/24 This big loving goofball is Shadow! Shadow was surrendered to the shelter because the older dog in the home was starting to beat up on him. Shadow did not engage and was said to love other dogs. He was even said to do well with the cats in the home. Please ensure you are doing appropriate introductions with all new animals. Shadow is a large dog and other animals might not always appreciate his enthusiasm. Shadow was said to be kennel trained, housebroken, rides well in a car, and knows a variety of commands.
