Story
Lucky is a beautiful 4 year old Cairn Terrier who loves to cuddle and play around, His number one thing is the world are squeaky toys! His attention will fully focus on the squeaky toy as soon as he hears and sees the toy. I think that is one of the cutest things in the world. Another cute trait of his is that his safe space is behind you when you are working from home. If you have a desk and a chair, he loves to sit behind you and accompany you. Overall, Lucky is very easy going and calm. The only thing I would look out for is he likes to barks at people at the door, but I'm working on stoping that behavior. I'm looking for a family that will love Lucky as much as I do. I got him from a situational break-up with my ex-partner, and I am unfortunately too busy to take care of any dogs right now. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding Lucky, I will happily answer any questions to the best of my ability. I hope he finds a happy space soon!

Story
Leia is a German Shepherd/Husky mix. Beautiful German shepherd coat with bright blue husky eyes. I got Leia as a six week old puppy a little over a year before deciding to join the military in 2020. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take her with me so since I joined she has been in the care of my parents. They are no longer able to provide what she should have in terms of exercise and I’m no longer in a position to take care of her. She is an extremely intelligent dog and with a little training and either consistent exercise or a place that would give her freedom to run around, she would make a great dog! We’re desperate for someone who would provide a lot of love for her and give her a more enjoyable life!
