Story

Meet Gigi 🐾 Gigi is a 7-year-old Husky mix with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. Though she can appear a bit intimidating at first because of her looks, she is truly very sweet, calm, and affectionate once she feels comfortable. Gigi is naturally a little shy and tends to observe before jumping in, but her loving nature shines through quickly. She has been with our family since she was young and, like her brother Archie, has traveled with us through several military moves. Gigi is fully house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She does well with children and other dogs. Gigi is deeply bonded to her brother Archie and looks to him for guidance—he leads, and she happily follows. They have spent their entire lives together and share a special connection, so a home that could keep them together would be ideal. Gigi would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, supported, and continue to grow in confidence alongside her brother.

Meet Archie 🐾 Archie is an 8-year-old Lab mix with a gentle soul and a loyal heart. He has been part of our family since he was just 8 weeks old and has grown up alongside us through several military moves, making him wonderfully adaptable and well-traveled. He is fully house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has no known health issues. Archie does great with children and gets along well with other dogs. He’s calm, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. Archie is especially bonded to his sister, Gigi, and they have spent their lives together, so a home that could welcome them both would be ideal. He would thrive in a loving, stable home where he can continue to enjoy companionship, routine, and plenty of affection. Archie is ready to bring loyalty, comfort, and quiet joy to his next forever home.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Rocky! Friendliest boy with the biggest grin 😁 He had a very ruff start in life it appears. When we found him he was very fearful whenever a hand was raised but very quickly overcame that. He is the sweetest thing wanting hugs and reassurance repeatedly running back to make sure you are still "there", planting a foot on your foot and leaning against your legs trying to hold you in place, a sign of wanting reassurance. He adores our kids has met and likes our other dogs, plays well with another foster we have. Has seen our many cats and ignores them. He holds "it" all day til they are let out of their large kennels for their afternoon runs so I believe house training is/would be a cinch. His manners are a little on the creaky side but we are working on that. I can tell he would love to be someones adored house hippo ❤️.

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marge is an approximately 8-year-old, short and stocky American Bully with a big blocky head & an even bigger heart.I adopted Marge in 2020 after she spent much of her life chained outside and being used for breeding. Despite that difficult start, she absolutely adores people. She forms deep bonds quickly & loves being close to her humans. If you're looking for a constant companion who wants nothing more than to love & be loved, Marge is your girl.Her favorite things are simple: leisurely walks, car rides where she can be your co-pilot, and curling up next to you on the couch for as many cuddles as you'll give her. She's happiest just being with her person.Marge does need a very specific home to be successful. She must be the only animal in the household—no dogs, cats, or other pets. She would thrive in a calm, low-stress home where she can relax and enjoy being the center of someone's world.If you have a quiet home, no other animals, & room in your heart, Marge is waiting to meet you.

Oswald (Oz)

Coonhound Husky

Male, Adult

Gainesville, FL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

I had gotten Oz with a former partner of mine, and we had him for about a year and a 1/2 together before we broke up. He’s a very VERY loving dog and was raised around cats and children. He’s never had bad experiences with other dogs, he usually just wants the play with them instantly. He’s been trained with some German commands, lay down (Platz) and sit (zitz), he knows how to shake your hand if you say “paw” and extend you hand towards him, if you raise you hand and say “boop” he will jump and touch your hand with his nose, and he also knows speak if you raise your hand flat up in the air and say “speak.” I don’t have the time anymore with my work schedule and being by myself to take care of him, he spends most of the day in his crate, and I spend as much time with him as possible. He needs a backyard to run in and play in, I love him to death, but I want the best for him, rather than to be selfish and keep him locked up for long periods. I have brand new flea meds for him.
