Story
Flo is such a special, loving girl! Flo is under 2 yrs old, 50lbs, up to date on vaccines, potty-trained, microchipped, and now spayed! She was picked up as a stray in Southern CA by control officers with catch poles, and tossed into one of the highest-kill shelters in America. She was deadlined with a scheduled euthanasia time (due to no space/homeless pet crisis). Miraculously, Flo was rescued; so we could foster her here! Thank you to the 501c3 rescue for tagging her! If you are interested in adopting her, have Husky/Shepsky experience, have a very active lifestyle, and want to spoil her too - let us know! Flo is gaining her confidence with new people and animals. She already learned how to walk on a leash, play with toys; she knows her name, and 'sit' already! She is an intelligent, fun, athletic, loyal, cuddle buddy! She's a velcro-dog. No cats please. Fee helps the rescue recover some of the vetting costs. Whoever adopts Flo will be so lucky!

Story
Hello! My wife and I had 4 dogs and then we had our daughter. She is allergic to dogs and we unfortunately had to get rid of them. Koda is the only dog we haven’t been able to find a home for. He is a good boy, 5 years old. He is house trained and is good with my daughter! He was always fine with our other dogs but was raised with them. He never attacked another dog but he does growl at other dogs! I think he could get used to other dogs in time but would probably be better as an only dog! Koda talks a lot and is very playful! He really is a sweet dog!

Meet sweet Gloria. This gorgeous 9 year old angel found her way to us through a local animal control. She is in her golden years and is the most beautiful girl ever. Gloria is about nine, has some arthritis, and is looking for a family to spend the rest of her days with. She is sweet, dog friendly, gentle, and great on the leash. She is a very good girl and just needs a soft place to land. Don't overlook these sweet seniors, she still has a lot of love to give!

Story
We have seen B I G, and then we have seen B I G G E R, and let me tell you, his head size matches his heart! If you want almost 100 POUNDS of mushy, sweet, meatloaf roaming your home, this is the dude for you! Judd is as big as they come for his breed, but as gentle as a mouse. He lacks nothing in the departments of beauty, grace, gentleness, personality, and likability. Judd is a VERY dog friendly guy who enjoys slow walks, lounging, and sometimes playing. He is a puddle of mush that will melt into your floors, but don't let that fool you- he still has some energy for a hike if you want! He can even carry his own backapck! Judd has an old leg fracture from being hit by a car but it does not cause any issues and he can still handle his own. This dude is the WHOLE package. The pictures will deceive you, his head is as big as the White Sox stadium and he will turn heads everywhere you go! Don't believe us?Come meet him in person!
