Story
This guy is in need of a foster or foster to adopt .  He is 9 months old shy but will learn. Ok with other dogs and cats.  We are waiting for a neuter appointment for him. Adoption fee is $450 with a $150’refund with proof of neuter if you do it.  $450 if we do it.  If you can't adopt or foster, please think about sponsering a cat/dog, puppy/kitten. Just $20 a month will help feed one. Just $40 will get a kitten spayed/neutered. The possiblities are endless. These creatures come from shelters who by no choice of their own, would have to put the down, simply because there are too many. The more donations we receive, the more we are able to help. Thanks in advance for your support.April 14, 2024, 9:32 am

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.

Story
She is fine with animals. However, she is a bully. She is extremely people picky and does not like to be approached, she prefers to make contact. She is extremely food driven in any type of training. She will get into any food possible, if left unattended. She’s still very hyper. Overall, she’s a really good dog and just needs the love. I don’t have time to give her right now.

Rocky is a 1 year very loving sweet boy. Loved by all of his humans. Unfortunately my daughter has recently been diagnosed with severe asthma and allergic to dogs. She was been in ICU 5 times this year with her. Her allergist and pulmonologist said the best thing for her is to rehome her little doggy. We are looking for a home where Rocky will be loved just as much or even more then we do. Rocky will come with all the basics like, bed, food and water bowl, leash , collar and other stuff like toys , hygiene products, hair brush etc and lots of accessories rockys bday is November 1
