Story
I took Lilly in from an older couple a few months ago. She is a big girl and they were concerned that she might pull one of them down when walking. She is an inside dog, very gentle, does not destroy anything. She loves to lay at my feet, very loyal. She will sit patiently while waiting for food. I have another dog and for the most part they get along great. However, I am coming to understand that I think Lilly is a "one dog" per house, kind of dog. There has been no food aggression, but she does covet her space. She gets a little "testy" when the other dog invades her space. She does OK with cats, pretty much ignores mine. I was really hoping she would blend in with my other dog, but I believe she will be much happier in a home where she is the only dog. She was the only dog with former owners and I think she will be happier being the "queen" again in a one dog home.

Story
Looking for a great home for our husky, Petrie. She will be 6 years old in December and is spayed. She is house trained and would thrive in a household without other pets or small children. She spent her life with an older dog that has now passed, they got along well but she exhibits dominant behavior. She is a loving dog. She is a full husky and acts as such so hoping to find someone who loves the breed and knows what it takes to care for her properly.

Story
Finn is one years old. He loves to be outside so a lot of land or a fenced in yard would be best. Due to my husband having to go back to the office we are unable to give him the attention he needs. He’s house broken, sociable, whip smart, professionally trained in obedience. We want to find him the home he deserves and unfortunately we are unable to provide it at this time.
