Story
Bailey (3 yrs old) came from my partner who is no longer living at the home. I have another girl and a boy who are very young and she continues to pick at the other girl. I’ve been trying to keep her the past three months and it hasn’t been the best experience and they are too big for me. I can only handle one girl. Bailey is a sweetheart, but she wants all the attention and when I give the others any she doesn’t like to share. She is definitely a great protector and barks when someone is outside. I just can’t handle her by myself.

Story
❤️ Birthday is April 23, 2023. This beautiful Siberian Husky is the best puppy in the world, he is 2 years old, unlike the regular Husky he doesn’t cry for attention. I love him but unfortunately due to a house fire I can't find someone to temporarily keep him. I'm looking for a loving and caring family that adopt him and love him. He is potty trained, and really sweet. He is fully vaccinated. He has all of his puppy shots including rabies shot. He has also been microchipped by vet. All paperwork from vet will be provided. Very sweet puppy and house trained. Great around children!!
