Story
Rogue is a very social and sweet 10yo Husky who LOVES affection and never meets a stranger. Been with us since she was a puppy. She needs a home with plenty of space to roam and another dog companion would be a big plus. She struggles with cage confinement anxiety, but due to a growing family and living in an apartment we’ve had to try and adjust her to staying in a crate when we’re gone and it’s created behavioral issues. She’s on vet prescribed trazodone to help her handle the stress of being crated. Without meds she will escape any and all crates even at the expense of injuring herself, that is why we pursued the medication. She is puppy pad trained also, but doesn’t always hit the pad which is why we had to switch to a crate since our carpet is the only place we have to put pads. She loves kids and other dogs but being at her age it’s getting harder for her to keep up. She LOVES naps and prefers to be a couch potato most of the time.

Story
Is is very sweet and playful. I have had her since she was a puppy. She has been around 1 other dog and after a few months the other dog attacked her but she was good with that dog until that time. She has Been around 1 cat and chased it around to play. The cat chased her around the house also but they never touched each other. She has not really been around other small kids so I do not know how she is with them. I love this girl and do not want her to go anywhere but HOA won’t allow her anymore

Story
Hello everyone! Meet Sebastian! Sebastian is a young adult husky that weighs about 50 pounds. He is built a little bit taller and a little bit more slender than some of the more boxy huskies. Sebastian is a happy-go-lucky ball of energy. Sebastian loves to say hi with his feet first lol! Sebastian is great with everybody he meets however we do believe hardier or bigger kids would be a little bit better for him due to just his energy level and wanting to say hi with his whole body. Is Foster mom said he is a great time and he is extremely funny, he always was on the move and always has something to do and something to say, he loves to sing the song of his people! He does great with her dogs and loves to romp around the backyard and play, we do feel how excited he gets that he would have the best luck in a home that has a fenced in yard. Sebastian is a great boy with a great personality and just needs a great home to go with it to complete his story!
