Story
We met this beautiful girl at a local Walmart while collecting Toys for Tots with the Explorers. A family was moving out of state with four kids and dogs in a small RV and didn't have room for her. We took her in and she became an unofficial mascot of our post and she wound up housed in our place. She has amazing eyes, beautiful coat and is full of energy. She is wonderful with people, especially kids. Best of all she is not finicky. She'll make a fine guard dog and companion for everyone in your home. Unfortunately changes at the station, as well as my own living situation--I am going overseas, and getting married--mean we need to find her a more permanent and still loving home.

Story
Sakara is a beautiful, soft, loving, and loyal smaller Siberian Husky. Once she becomes acquainted with her family, she acts like such a baby. She loves to go on walks, road trips, loves to be petted, enjoys playing fetch and running around the yard, then naps several times a day. She is super curious about meeting new people and other dogs. She does not bark. Sakara will need time to acclimate to a new environment and people. While she's very loving and sweet, she'll need to gain the trust of her new humans. Over the years, she's become sensitive to people rubbing her belly, but she does allow her owners to do this. She also allows us to remove her food while eating, and we can take her toy while she has a treat in it, but this has taken time to develop that trust and understanding. We groom her ourselves due to her sensitivities.

Story
Hello! My name is Baby Spice and I’m just a sweet, 1 year old chi looking for my Valentine. After being rescued from the shelter, my foster mom tells me I gain more confidence every day! I’m a curious, happy girl who’s good with other dogs as well. I like to walk and play, but there’s nothing quite like snuggling up with my person at the end of the day. Like all other Lucky Chi’s I’m spayed and fully vaccinated. If I seem like a good fit for you, please fill out a form at the bottom of our Adoptable Chi’s page!

Story
My stepmom abandoned Scarlett and we took her in but we feel we cannot give her the attention she deserves because of our busy schedule we are away from home a lot. She is very sweet and mild mannered. Content to lay all day in front of the couch. But she’s in good health and enjoys a long walk also. Recently groomed and her shots are up to date. She also has several new beds she can take with her.
