Story
Hello! I am looking for experienced adopter for an adorable dog. She was abandoned and had been running the streets for weeks before we were able to catch her. She is warming up to people and is now trusting them. She has shown no aggression at all, ever. She is learning how to walk on a leash but still needs more training with it. She does not go to the bathroom inside. We take her out multiple times a day on leash and she does her business then. I do not think she can roam free in a yard yet, as I think she may still try and run, because she is used to being a stray and running off. This is where the adopters will need to focus their efforts. This is the only behavioral "issue" I have seen. She has only barked at one large dog but does not bark at my dog or my cats. She seems uninterested in them or wants to play. She loves my son and is a huge cuddle bug. She will make the perfect family member for someone. She is the sweetest and just wants to be loved and give love back.

Story
Mazikeen is such a sweet girl once she warms up to you. She will be your favorite cuddle buddy. She loves going for long walks, dinner time and her daily chewy snacks. Maz could use some training to reach her full potential. Due to her young age she is still moldable and eager to learn. I never had any intention of rehoming my baby, but recent female-female tension with my other Rottie had lead me to this road. I am hoping she finds a home where she is loved just as much as she is in my home. Please reach out if your intentions are good for this sweet soul!!

If you do not receive confirmation from us, email adoptions@hsnb.org . -----Hi, I'm Finley, a happy girl with a sweet, affectionate personality. I'm slightly more petite than your average husky at 51 pounds and yes, I know I'm beautiful, but I won't be a showoff about it.My gentle energy would be right for walks and hikes but I'm not like my wild, wolfie cousins. I recently took a daycation with one of our volunteers an I got an A+ for awesomeness. I was good with people approaching and petting me, and I was extra gentle with children. And though I'm a bit standoffish about other dogs, with slow introductions and guidance, I could be a good friend to another confident gentle dog.If there's a home out there with a loving family or person who will love both my plushie coat and loyal nature, I'm waiting!Check out Finley's profile video here!https://www.hsnb.org/youtube-finley-16680My adoption fee is $250.  Primary Color: White Weight: 50 Age: 4yrs 2mths 3wks
