We adopted Bear when he was 8 weeks old, he will be 1 on June 24th. He is a very energetic dog and loves to have an active lifestyle. He is not neutered yet, but is scheduled on 6/20. Unfortunately, our work situation has changed and we don’t have a lot of time to spend with him like we used to, so we’re not able to give him the attention he needs.

Story
Ranger was rescued from a distant shelter when his time was running out. He is very friendly dog social smart BFF and great hiking buddy. Ranger is magnificent! Update from his Foster Home: Ranger is an active smart and goofy 3-year-old German Shepherd. He knows all basic obedience loose leash walking skills and has been learning off leash recall. Ranger has gotten along with numerous dogs of all sizes and breeds but hasn't really been interested in play. His main focus in life is his people and his ball. Ranger's ideal home is an active home that knows how to keep his body and his brain exercised. Ranger enjoys daily walks or jogs a game of fetch and weekly hikes and swims. He may even enjoy trying out some dog sports. Despite being an active and adventurous dog Ranger is gentle and calm inside of the home. He is crate trained and enjoys relaxing on his dog bed next to his foster family and their dogs. He knows and listens to commands. Wants to be with person in home. Need tuft crate when left home alone and he will settle. He is GSD at heart and will guard your home to strangers if not properly introduced. Need GSD experienced guardian that understand GSD's natural behavior to protect or alert. He is great meeting people at events and outings with handler. Due to foster home's increased work and school schedule Ranger needs a dedicated foster to adoption home or foster home. He is very well trained knows commands has great recall and smart.April 8, 2025, 12:05 pm

Story
Neena (was Tootsie) was at a distant and very crowded shelter for a long time and her time was running out. When volunteers took her out she was friendly and great with all the dogs on leash and in dog play groups (off leash). Did great with transporter. She is very skinny and needs to put on weight. Once out at her foster home on 11/17/21 she was nervous but warmed up fast to her foster home but not to their female husky. She was guarding and reactive to their dog at home. Got into a few dog fights. They are keeping them separate and giving her time to adjust. 11/28/21 Update: Took about a week but Neena is now doing fine at her foster home and with their other female dog. She is the top dog at their home. They love their walks and hanging out. They do feed in seperate areas. She still need more basic and leash training. 1/12/22 Update: Still working on leash training to teach her to stop pulling and not be so excited when seeing other dogs while on walks. 3/28/22 Update: Foster hasn't attempted to test Neena with cats however they can see Neena has a strong prey drive so if the cat runs it is expected Neena would chase. She is now great with foster home's female husky.May 12, 2025, 12:59 am

Story
His DNA test is a mix of many breed types. Mostly Husky Cattle dog and Terrier. What a unique mix! 1/27/25: Urgent. Romeo needs a new foster home or foster to adoption home. His adopter from March 2021 have a toddler that Romeo is fearful of and now they are expecting a 2nd baby and move to a new house. Romeo needs a adult home and older kids are fine. He loves his walks and lounging at home with his family. Sad they need to rehome him after almost 4 years. They do not want to keep him sep with baby gate since he wants to be near them. 8/5/24 Poor Romeo now needs a new adult forever home. His current home adopted him March 2021 but they now they have a new baby that is crawling. Romeo did well with new baby-dog training with a trainer but recently he guarded his toy from the toddler when she tried to pick up. He did a correction nip to her heel but no injury. He was correcting her like another dog. The couple have set up baby gates and following the trainer's tips but feel it would best if he can be rehomed to adult or older kid home. He loves his daily walks. Prefers to be the only dog at home. Romeo has been thru training. Been eating healthy fresh food mix to his kibble. Up to date with his annual vet care. 4/5/25 Romeo (Koji) is boarding with a trainer. He bonds to person and loves petting and being brushed. He wants to follow and be with the person. He can climb a 8 ft chain link fence in just a minute or so if left alone. He will try to do this to follow person. Prefer to be inside home with person and be your BFF. Original updates from 2021 below: We rescued Romeo from a distant shelter. He was found with metal cable line tied to his collar. He is Sandy's brother who we rescued last week. Romeo arrived at the shelter days later. The shelter was closed Friday to Monday so he was very happy to get out of his kennel on 2/16/21. He is very friendly wiggly happy and a sweetie. Was calm riding in the car with a car safety harness. Great with other dogs. He did great at his vet exam. Like Sandy everyone adores him. Romeo is already doing great at his foster home with another dog at home. Loved his long walk. His foster home is active and will hike/jog him daily for 3-5 miles. Romeo will love healthy foods/treats home training dog friends daily exercise and TLC. We are not sure of his breed mix but has both Husky and Jindo qualities. Romeo has a fluffy tail and very soft coat. Romeo will not be ready for about 2 weeks or more while he settles at his foster home and we try to line up his neuter surgery. He will need an experienced and active guardian. No cats since he does want to chase cats on walks. Romeo has adjusted quickly to his foster home. He is very loving and full of energy.. He will definitely need an active family and daily exercise. We are working on fetch and he’s almost got it down! Loves squeaky toys and tennis balls. He loves to give cuddles and is a very sweet boy. Sometimes he can be a bit unaware of his own size and strength but he is still young. He needs a lot of training to be a better walker. The pulling on walks can be an issue but nothing proper training can’t solve. We are working on potty training. Once he gets neutered that will help with the marking problem. He most likely would not do well in a home with younger children because he is a bit clumsy and still does the puppy biting thing (Understandable because he is still young). No children under 10 years. Despite his size Romeo is a really good lap dog who loves belly rubs and cuddles. He does just fine with other dogs of all sizes. As far as cats he seems triggered by cats on our walks. I don’t know how he would do in a home with a cat. He sleeps comfortably in the crate at night and doesn't seem to mind it.April 8, 2025, 12:05 pm

Story
Max (watch my video!) was at a distant overcrowded shelter for over a month when his time was up. He had no options left so we rescued him. All the volunteers adore him. Despite having no walks from his shelter kennel once out he is well behaved and great with other large dogs he met at the shelter and volunteers. He needs time to warm up and feel safe then cooperative loves treats and is lovable. Smart and gorgeous. Max did great during his transport car ride but once at a new place he was nervous and confused. Did take treats. Once he knows you he will be your best friend and bodyguard. Max will need an experienced guardian and a home with a yard. For now no kids. More info. to come as he relaxes and learns. 7/1/22: He is now doing great at his foster home with 2 other GSDs. With time he adjusted to new people at home. He is still leary of of strangers. Bonded to his foster mom. Loves his walks/hikes playing ball and relaxing at his foster home. 9/12/21: Sadly when his potential foster home and her 2 GSDs during their two meets her female GSD did not work out with him. The female is less tolerant of new dogs and wants to be the top dog. Max did great with her male dog and social. He loves treats snuggled being petted and enjoyed the attention. Need basic leash training. Poor Max will continue to board until we can find him an experienced foster home that will give him time to warm up and feel safe. Max is boarding until we can find him an experienced and dedicated foster home. Donations needed to help pay for his boarding. To date since 10/20/21 over $4000. 10/1/21: Our volunteers are visiting Max and taking him out for walks and play yard. Doing great and friendly with 2nd visit with female and male with yummy treats and turkey hot dogs. Max goes to male volunteer for hot dogs long walk and fine being petted. Max is a sweetie with people he knows and trust. Max would be a great hiking and home buddy.YouTube: https://youtu.be/veR-UfNMVfgNovember 4, 2024, 2:12 pm

A kind person saved him when he was left in a box at a parking lot. From an accidental litter due to parents not being sp/n. They work full time and contacted us to take him in. He got his first vet care and now learning at his foster home and puppy trainer. Cutie Robin size of Malamute is very sweet friendly and loves playing with other pups. Doing great and cuddly. Robin loves to follow his person around. He is enjoying his healthy foods and treats. Need husky experienced guardian and home with fenced yard. We have tried different high quality and holistic foods (kibble and can) but he has a sensitive GI and got loose stools. He had a stool sample test and negative. He does best eating Raw diet mix or food with no wheat or legume. No runny stools when he eats raw diet. Update: Robin is now eating freeze dried raw and trying different foods.
