Story

Khelani - If these blue eyes could talk…they might tell you of a lifetime so difficult it left him with just enough strength to finally curl up in a kind soul’s driveway. Today these blue eyes are full of love and a desire to be part of a family. Khelani, a name picked out as the kind person who found him described him as a majestic creature, is about 4+ years old and weighs about 61 lbs. If you are looking for a pretty mellow fellow, Khelani is the right dog for you. He is not much of a barker and walks like a gentleman on a leash. He is gentle and friendly to humans and is interested in playing with non-alpha dogs. He would prefer to be in a home where he is a part of the daily action and likes to be indoors with his humans.

Meet Winter – Handsome, Loyal, and Full of Heart Winter is a strikingly handsome husky mix who turns heads wherever he goes - but it’s his loyal, thoughtful nature that truly makes him special. Once he bonds with a trusted human, he’s all affection—seeking out pets, attention, and quiet companionship and is very protective. Winter is housebroken and well-mannered. He’s easy to leash and absolutely loves his walks, though he may pull a bit during the first mile (he’s just that excited!). Winter would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone who understands his gentle soul and husky quirks. Older, respectful kids only, because he's strong - and did we mention affectionate? He’s ready to be someone’s devoted adventure buddy and cuddle companion. December 9, 2025, 8:57 am
