Story
Hamlet is a beautiful Siberian Husky. He is very smart and friendly. He is extremely energetic and needs a fenced in area to run. He loves other animals and is friendly with them but he likes to play very rough and doesnt know when to stop. He will chase cats and likes to chew on them but is not mean about it. I have another dog and3 cats and he just wont leave them alone. I live in town and do not have a fenced in area for him to run so he is cooped up in the house all the time. I am 60 years old and didnt know what I was getting into when I got a husky. He needs someone who is experienced with the breed.

Story
Jackson is the sweetest and happiest boy! He is an energetic 11 month old pup, who loves to play fetch, eat, and will make you laugh everyday! He is very smart and seems to be a quick learner. As much as I would love to keep him, my two middle age dogs cannot adjust to such a young dog. Jackson himself likes my other dogs and does well with them, but wants undivided attention at all times and is not afraid to push through the other dogs to be first in line for scratches. I am not sure how he would be with other dogs as he has not been to places like dog parks. He shouldn’t be in a house with cats. He has never hurt my cat, but he will chase her and can be rough when trying to play. He loves all people and all kids. He is up to date on everything, potty trained, and crate trained. I will give his new parent all of his favorite toys/harness/leash etc.

Story
Nova is truly a sweet, loving dog who bonds deeply with her person and thrives on attention and routine. That said, she does have some special needs and must go to the right environment to be successful. My family and I adopted her from a local shelter in hopes we could give her the best home. However, that all changed. She has allergies and a torn ACL, both of which require daily medication and consistent care. She does well with this routine and deserves someone who can continue it without hesitation. Behavior-wise, she is very nervous with new people, especially men, and has had a few incidents of biting when unfamiliar people walk into the home. Because of this, she needs an experienced, patient owner who understands fearful dogs and can properly manage introductions and boundaries. She is good with kids however not young kids. She would do best in a quiet, adult-only home. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and loving — she just needs time, structure,

Story
Lula loves her people and loves to play fetch. We got her as a pup from a local Breeder. She is house trained and is good in the house. Lula does not get along with our other dogs or cat, and has been aggressive towards other dogs, especially smaller females. She would be happiest as the only dog in the family. Lula is very gentle with people and older children. Lula has been raised in the country and loves walking on our trails and in the woods. We are looking for a good owner or family with older children to give her lots of love and attention.
