Story
Daisy Lu is a super sweet 10 month old Chou/shepherd mix (a little husky also). She is very energetic and playful, loves people and is very anxious to meet them. We are hoping to place her in a home where she is the only pet where she can get tons of love and exercise. She can chew things, so she needs training. We unfortunately are unable to give her the individual attention as we have two other dogs and we do travel from time to time.

Story
Hi, my name is Shadow. I am 1 yesr and 6 months old. I am a sweetheart to kids and people! I love attention and am super hyper! I dont easily get along with other animals, I come off a bit strong. With practice and training, im sure i can get there! I was rescued by a family and they are amazing! I stopped getting along with their other doggy because I became an adult and she did not like that at all. I am very lovable and eager for cuddles. I also like to chew on things and play!

Story
Rue is a very smart, active, and loving dog who learns quickly and responds well to commands such as sit, down, stay, come, leave it, focus (makes eye contact), place, crate, off, out (to release toy), load up (when going in the car) and go to bed. She is both crate trained and fully potty trained.She loves being outdoors and especially loves swimming, going on walks/hikes, playing fetch, and staying active! She is a fast learner and does very well with structure and routine. Rue is friendly with people and playful, but she does best when kept away from smaller dogs, as she can become a little over excited when around multiple dogs. Overall, she is a well-trained, intelligent, energetic dog who loves spending time with people and being active.She will be sent home with a bag of dog food, collar/leash, and toys. If not adopted by October 28th, 2026 she will be taken to the shelter due to my living situations. It breaks my heart to do this but she deserves a back yard.

Story
Finn is a special boy with lots of love to give. He is a smart, playful, curious and affectionate dog with lots of love to give to the right owner. He enjoys going on long walks, hiking and chasing after his favorite ball. He has a bit of an independent spirit, but warms up to people quickly and loves to shower you with affection. He prefers to be the only dog in the home He's a sweet and endearing boy who finds cats too tempting not to chase. A home without cats is a must and no small children. He's crate trained, easy to live with, food motivated and likes learning new things. His leash manners are pretty good and likes to go for car rides too. Don't miss out on this silly sweet boy!
