Story

Athena is an almost 2yr old husky and came to us from a previous home where her owner was forced to move due to financial and personal issues. She is very small for her breed (28lbs) and we are working to put a bit more weight on her. As far as personality she is very playful, affectionate and sweet tempered. We have 4 other dogs and a cat in the house and she plays with them any chance she gets. She does get along best with our larger male dog and tends to get snippy with females. As a young husky she is an active breed and does need a home that can provide her with walks or at least a companion to play with if possible. However, she will absolutely entertain herself with a ball, stick, random piece of lint- she just loves to play! Not a huge barker or howler but she does yip when she’s ready to leaver her kennel or when she wants to play.

George is a very sweet and loyal pooch to the ones he loves. He's slow to warm up to new people so his new owners will need to be understanding of that. He's been good with the dogs and cats in the foster home.
