Story
Atlas is the best boy. He’s 11months old and already over 100lbs. He’s very protective of me and my son, but once he knows you, he’s your best friend. He craves attention and a job to do, loves playing ball or practicing his commands. He gets so excited for walks and hikes. He does amazing at dog beach/dog parks. We are doing work with him right now to help him know when to be protective, and when to relax. He is not neutered yet, I was advised to wait until 1yr-1.5yrs for his breed. We unfortunately need to re-home due to allergies (my son & my boyfriend).

Story
Coax and Jameson are six-year-old Aussie/Husky mix brothers, 65 lbs each, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were raised from an accidental litter and need a new home after their family moved and downsized following the arrival of a newborn. Outdoors They're high-energy, smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. They alert to strangers near the home but are friendly on walks. They do well with similar-sized dogs and are good with smaller animals when supervised. Both have no history of aggression toward people or children. Jameson previously had a damaged tooth removed but has no current issues. Their last vet visit was 08/01/2025. They're healthy, playful companions looking for an active home. It is with a heavy heart that I need to rehome them. They are my my family- but the change in lifestyle is unfair to them/us all.
