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!

Ginny (A140722) is a 6-year-old AK Husky x GSD mix who weighed 58.4 pounds on intake! 12/29/25 This fun-loving team was surrendered to the shelter and is looking for homes that can keep them active and running! Ginny is a hyper boy who loves to run, jumps, and give kisses! However, it was noted that he can be a bit of a stinker getting his harness on and makes a game out of it. These boys are brothers and were stated to be AK Husky and German Shepherd mixes with a smidge of pitty mixed in. They are used to living outdoors on dog houses but have been enjoying the warmth of our inside kennels during this cold snap! They were said to love curling up in their straw when outdoors and coming inside to cozy up next to the fireplace. When they can not get out for a run on the sled, they were said to love playing with each other in a fenced-in yard or going on long walks through the woods! They would love to join someoneâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s rec team or a home that can keep them active and stimulated! If you are interested in meeting Ginny or any of his brothers/teammates, please let us know! February 9, 2026, 9:09 pm

Story
Mya (A135677) is a 1-year-11-month-old Sharpei x Rottweiler mix who weighed just over 70pounds on intake! 02/12/26 Mya was surrendered to the shelter because her owner did not have housing that could accommodate her, and her pet sitter was unable to continue tending to her. The sitter had been watching her for months and stated that she is a fabulous dog, but with their long work hours, they really did not have the time to fully commit to having a dog for the long run. She is a young girl is hoping to find a family to love her for the rest of her life! Mya has been struggling with potty training and is looking for a patient owner who can continue to work with her. We also encourage her next owner to bring her to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on her manners and learn a trick or two! If you are interested in meeting Mya, please let us know! 10/09/24 Miss Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa is back at the shelter and eager to find her right fit! Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was surrendered back to the shelter because her adoptive owners found that she had a high prey drive and they had cats in the home. She would do best in a home without small dogs, cats, or pocket pets to set her up for success! Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was said to do well with other dogs. However, appropriate introductions are key! She was also said to do well with people of all ages, including babies and children! She has been a sweet girl to the care staff at the shelter! In their home, she did excellent in a kennel and was noted to be housebroken! She also does great on car rides! If you are interested in meeting Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa and have no small critters around, please let us know! 08/27/24 This sweet little lady is Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa! Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was said to be 75% Sharpei and 25% Rottweiler. Add that together, and she is 100% wonderful! Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was described as a very sweet dog who does well with everyone, including babies and children! The shelter environment can be a bit scary, but she is being brave and conquering her fears! In her prior home, Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was said to be kennel trained, housebroken, and to ride well in a car. She was known to dig and get into the trash if left unsupervised. At 5 months old, we highly encourage her next owner to bring her to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on her manners and for the added positive socialization. Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was said to do well with other animals including dogs, cats, pocket pets, and livestock. Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions with new animals. Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa was seen by our shelter vet and had entropion surgery. She is doing great but does need to remain in her cone until fully healed. If you are interested in meeting Uâ&#194&#128&#194&#153sa, please let us know!February 18, 2026, 12:13 am
