Story
Xena is a very loyal and loving Husky and Alaskan Malamute mix (mostly black with white collar, belly and paws and some brown tones). She is playful, spayed, and enjoys being close to her "hooman." She loves everything to do with water; swimming, drinking from a hose, and playing in it. Doggie sprinkle pool conveys. Car rides are her second favorite thing after water. She is shy and nervous around new people and will bark/talk at them until she gets comfortable, but she will mind and stop barking once she knows the stranger is welcomed. As you can see in the picture, she has lost one eye (surgically removed) due to glaucoma and I give her eye drops in the other to control pressure. She stays outdoors right now (because my husband is severely allergic) but is fully trained for indoors (including using a doggy door) and likes to be inside with the humans. She is voice trained and behaves well on walks and at the doggy park. Current supplies and medical records provided.

Story
Meet Baz, our 91 lb 3 y/o German Shepherd mix. Baz is an amazing dog. He is affectionate and intelligent. He likes to train but doesn’t need a ton to tire him out. He’s a sensitive dog who responds well to structure, clear boundaries and praise. He does have some behavioral struggles. We spent thousands of dollars on a 2 month board and train last year, and have continued with private sessions with a new trainer in the last few months. His dog reactivity and overall obedience has improved drastically. But he did attack our other dog recently and has started growling at my wife, who is pregnant. For everyone’s safety and well being, we have to rehome Baz before the baby comes. It is not a good situation for us, or for him. We’ve spent a year investing time and resources into his training, hoping it would be enough, but he needs more. Baz is in tact and up to date on all vaccinations. He is fully e-collar and crate trained. He loves to play tug and knows a bunch of command

Story
Coty, a Husky/Akita mix (white with black spots and ears), is very friendly and lovable to all people, and he's a "talker" which makes him very endearing! He will entertain himself with his toys to allow the adults to talk. He loves everything to do with food - there isn't a snack or morsel of food (dog or human) that he has turned away, and he loves going for car rides. Weighing in at an impressive 85 lbs, he's very well-mannered with a great disposition, neutered, chipped, is voice trained and behaves well on walks and at the doggy day care. He especially likes small dogs and kids. Up to date with shots and vet health checks; I give him eye drops once a day to prevent glaucoma. He stays outdoors right now (because my husband is severely allergic) but is fully trained for indoors (including using a doggy door) and likes to be inside with the "hoomans." Current supplies and medical records provided.
