Story

Chalky is a lovable husky bursting with personality, ready to bring joy and energy into his forever home. He’s incredibly friendly with every person he meets and would thrive in a household of any age, from playful kids to adults who appreciate an affectionate, social companion. Chalky is very food‑motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding as he continues to work on his leash manners and learns to keep all four paws on the ground when he gets excited. While he can be around other dogs in passing, he doesn’t enjoy living closely with them and would do best as the only dog in the home. He also has no known history with cats. Like many huskies, Chalky is athletic and clever, with the ability to jump fences, so a secure yard and attentive supervision are important to keep him safe. With a bit of guidance and a lot of love, Chalky will make a wonderful, loyal addition to a family ready for adventure and endless husky smiles.

Ridley

Boxer Labrador Retriever

Male, 7 yrs 3 mos

Tempe, AZ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ridley is a Boxer mix with a big heart and a deep bond to his people. He’s affectionate, expressive, and happiest in a calm, predictable home where he can relax and stay close to those he trusts. Belly rubs and booty scratches are his favorite ways to connect. Ridley has moderate‑to‑high energy and does best with routine and appropriate outlets. A long daily walk, consistent schedule, and calm handling help him regulate and settle easily at home. When his needs are met, he’s a well‑mannered companion who enjoys downtime just as much as activity. He has excellent house manners, is dog‑door trained, nail scratch‑board trained, comfortable being home alone, and does not require a crate. He is sensitive to busy, chaotic environments and would do best in a quiet, adults‑only home with no other pets. While not a dog‑park type, Ridley is deeply loyal once trust is established and gains confidence from being with his people—ideally in a home with more than one trusted adult. Ridley is treat‑motivated and responds best to calm, clear, and consistent guidance. His medical care is straightforward and well managed; he receives monthly Librela injections and does best with a consistent diet and daily medication given easily with meals. Ridley’s ideal home values structure, routine, and a peaceful environment. A yard is a plus, but patience and consistency matter most. Adoption requirements: Behavior consult, adults‑only home, no other pets.

Story

Sharlene Stacy is a beautiful young Pointer–German Shorthaired Cattle Dog mix with an affectionate heart and an active, happy‑go‑lucky personality. She loves being around people and is always ready to share cuddles, tail wags, and her big, bright smile.
