Story
Meet DK, a super fun boy bursting with energy and personality. He’s always ready for action, whether that means zooming around the yard or trotting happily by your side. Despite his energetic side, DK is convinced he’s a big lap dog—maybe a little too big for a lap, but we won’t break his heart by telling him that. DK loves giving cuddles just as much as he loves running circles around you. He walks really well on a leash and enjoys getting out for adventures, especially when there’s snow involved—snowy playtime is one of his favorite things! If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who can keep up with you and then snuggle close, DK is your guy 🐾❄️

Story
Wendy is a 1 year and 8 month old Husky mix who’s basically a big, fluffy teddy bear! She’s incredibly sweet, loving, and always ready to soak up attention from her people. Wendy dreams of fun adventures with her family — whether that’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or exploring new places. Like many husky mixes, she enjoys staying active and being part of the action. But don’t worry — once she’s all worn out from her adventures, Wendy is more than happy to settle in for snuggles with her favorite humans. She truly gives you the best of both worlds: playful energy and cuddle time. If you’re looking for a loving adventure buddy who doubles as a professional snuggler, Wendy is your girl! 🐶💙

Story
Noel and Leon- Noel spelled backwards, were adopted in December of 2024. They were very sweet and affectionate puppies. Leon was renamed Boss. He was a loved puppy! But when the family split up, sweet Boss found himself caught in the middle and unwanted. Fast forward a year, he is back with us at ARF. He is very confused and scared, but is slowly opening up to staff and starting to play. We hope to find a forever family for him. Come visit Boss and if he melts your heart, apply to adopt at www.munciearf.com!
