Story
Koda is a sweet and smart boy. We have had him since he was 9 weeks old, he will be 9 years old this year. He loves to go on walks, run and play. Koda aims to please and is a great listener, pulls but does well on walks. He loves tugging, playing fetch/keep away and long walks. Koda thrives heavily on a routine of consistent walks, play time and attention. He is a vocal boy, who uses his voice but has never been aggressive. He does well around most dogs once he adjusts, he has a Husky brother Loki and they are pretty attached. Cats are case by case. Koda would do well in the home of a couple or a family with older children, with age he has become less tolerant of toddlers/small children. Koda does have some anxiety that is managed with consistent schedules and Trazadone on holidays/long days away. He learns fast and aims to please, we love Koda and want the best with him. Would be willing to lower adoption fee if Koda and Loki are adopted together. Happy to answer any other questions.

Story
Loki is a sweet, loving and super laid back boy. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old, he turned 6 in January. Loki is handsome, smart, and go with the flow. He LOVES walks and sun bathing outside. If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure buddy he’s your guy, also he’s not super vocal. He gets bursts of zoomy energy but doesn’t mind being/playing alone, he occasionally but not often plays with a ball/tugs with people. He would rather have a Kong and be left alone. He loves to lounge around and be loved on but doesn’t need it to thrive. He does well with most dogs, small animals/farm animals would not be a great fit for him. He is very much a hunter if given the chance. Ideally Loki would be great with a couple or family with older children that know boundaries, he is less tolerant of small children/toddlers that are still learning. We love and want what’s best for Loki, even if it means no longer being with us. Happy to answer any questions.

Story
Who Are We? Honestly... We Have No Idea! ❤️🐾There were eight of us who arrived at Ark within just three days. We came from different places and different stories, but we all had one thing in common—we were looking for kindness, comfort, and someone to love us.When we got here, the wonderful people at Ark gave us something many of us may have never had before: a full belly, fresh water, a soft blanket, a cozy cot, and gentle hands to reassure us that everything was going to be okay.Since arriving, we've all visited the veterinarian, been spayed or neutered, received our vaccinations, and been microchipped. Our adoption fee is $375, which helps cover the medical care that gives us the healthy start every puppy deserves. We all weigh between 17-28 pounds. We are 5-6 months old, we probably won't be the size of a pony. Now let's talk about the question everyone asks..."What breed are they?"Your guess is as good as ours!Maybe there's some Shar-Pei in us. Maybe a Spaniel-mix. Maybe a Mastiff Mix. Maybe a little bit of several breeds mixed together. The truth is, we never met Mom and Dad, so nobody really knows. Our chunky rolls are just the cutest thing ever no matter where they came from. And honestly? That's part of the adventure.We can't promise exactly how big we'll be. We can't promise what our ears will look like in six months. We do all have docked tails, we think we may have just been born this way.But we can promise a few things.We promise to greet you like you're the most important person in the world.We promise to make you laugh when we're zooming through the yard.We promise to snuggle close when you've had a hard day.We promise to be loyal, loving, and grateful for every kindness you show us.If you're looking for a puppy based solely on a breed label, we may not be the right fit. But if you're looking for a best friend and are willing to love us for whoever we grow up to be, we might just be one of the best decisions you'll make this summer.Come meet us.And even if you're not ready to adopt, we'd still love to see you. Stop by and take us out for some grass time. Throw a toy. Give a belly rub. Sit with us in the sunshine.We don't care what you drive, where you work, or what breed you think we are.We just know that every puppy deserves a chance to be loved.Love,The Mystery Gang of Ark 🐾❤️
