Story
Our beloved Loki is a Huskimo (Half Siberian Husky and American Eskimo). He is on the smaller side compared to a husky, so I would say medium size 30 lbs. He is 9 years old, and we have had him since he was just 6 months old. He is neutered and has been a cherished part of our family for many years. He is a very calm, gentle, and well-behaved dog who hardly ever barks. We are looking to find him a loving, safe home where he can enjoy his senior years with the care and attention he deserves. Unfortunately, my husband's allergies have worsened, and we are also moving to a one-story home, making it necessary for us to make this difficult decision. This is not an easy choice for us, as he is very loved, and our priority is finding a responsible, caring family who will welcome him as part of their own.

Story
Marvin is an exceptionally sweet and loving doggo. He is around 2 years old. He adores other animals and is great with kids. One adjective I'd use to describe him is a goofball. He's fun, loves to cuddle, and very much so enjoys being outside. He needs a family who can give him access to a yard or long walks as he has youthful energy!

Story
We got Brando when he was 2 months old. He was from a breeder in Ohio. An Amish man.He came with all his shots & paperwork. He turned 1 year old on Oct.22 2026. We have taken great care of him. He gets groomed regularly & goes to the vet. My husband is 76. He walks Brando every day along with our other older dog.Brando is very high-energy. He also loves to chew his many toys.Hubs is on blood thinners.Brando jumps on him& causes bruising.He loves people.He needs to be around people.We want him to go to a home where there is love & praise for good behavior.Also patience is a must. We are too old to give him the stimulation he needs.He is a lover but needs a firm hand too.No shedding. Please consider him.
