Story

Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

🐾 Looking to Rehome Snow 🐾 Hello everyone, we are looking to find a loving new home for Snow, our Husky/Labrador mix. He is a handsome, affectionate boy who is full of energy and personality. Snow does well with his small dog brother, but he is not good with cats. He would thrive in a home with a large yard where he has space to run and stay active. He is also a great guardian dog and very loyal to his people. Snow is about 4 years old & neutered. We are looking for a responsible, loving home that can give him the time, space, and attention he deserves. 🐶💙

Story

Nyxx Bean is the sweets and most loving 1.5 pup. She was my ex partners, I have a soon to be 10 year old pit bull that needs more care. Plus with working two jobs, it’s not fair to the puppy to not have proper play time attention, and walks. hoping to find her a home that can love her spend the proper time she needs as high energy. I very much love her but doing her a disfavor not having time. She needs more training, but potty trained, food motivated as well. Her 2nd birthday is in June.

Story

Rehoming due to relocating to another town. Looking for someone in CA, willing to drive. I have a GSP mix male (neutered) who just turned 2 this past November. Dad was purebred GSP, mom was mutt from pound. My husband unfortunately was part of a mass company layout (the oilfield he worked for for the last 10 years was bought out by another company and they let go 80% of the company). With that we are having to relocated to the Bay for a new job, we will have to be renting and unfortunately we can only take one with us with my ESA letter so we are taking our senior German shepherd to prevent him from ending up in a pound. My GSP mix is high energy and loves to run and play. He loves to play with the other dogs as well and is great with our kids. He does chase cats & other small creatures because of his DNA but it’s just a game of chase. He never “catches” them or attacks. However he’s highly trainable and can be used to hunt / fetch if that’s what you wanted to teach him an
