Story
This is Willow. She is a loving and sweet girl; all she wants is love and attention. She is a huge cuddle bug and will follow your every step. She is extremely energetic and loves to play fetch with a ball. She has been crated before but she chews her way out. I am looking for a home with more animals, land, or someone that has the time and attention for her. My heart is extremely broken to have to let her go, but I want to give her a better life than what I can provide her. I am also moving and will be downsizing. I have a full time job and I just want her days to be surrounded with interaction and love and not by herself.

Story
Solo came to me when his previous owner had to leave their living situation very quickly. At the time it was either he went to a shelter or stayed with me. I had spent a lot of time around him before that, so I couldn’t bring myself to see him go to a shelter. He’s a very good dog, but the situation happened suddenly and he never fully felt like my own dog. Over time I’ve realized my lifestyle and work schedule aren’t the best fit for a husky. They are high energy dogs and he deserves more time, activity, and space than I’m able to give. His previous owner never gave me an exact age, but I estimate he is around 7 to 8 years old. Solo is very sweet, rarely barks, loves going on walks, and enjoys being outside. He also knows how to relax indoors and has never destroyed anything from boredom. I’d love for him to go to someone active, experienced with high energy breeds, or with a yard where he can run and play.

Story
I got my dog from a close friend whose dog had a litter of puppies. I’ve had him since the day he was born, and he has been part of my life for about five years now. Watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the loving, energetic dog he is today has been really special. He is a very playful, affectionate, and loyal dog. He loves playing with balls, enjoys a good game of tug-of-war, and is always happiest when he’s close to his people. He’s the type of dog that likes to be right up under you, whether you’re relaxing on the couch or just hanging around the house. He was potty trained very early, so there are no issues there as long as he’s taken outside regularly. He’s smart, loving, and full of personality. What I’m looking for in a new home is someone who will give him love, attention, and space to play. He would do great with someone who enjoys an active dog and can spend time with him, because he truly loves being around people.
