Story
Ozzy is a male Pitbull and Husky mixed doggy who is about 2 years old. Ozzy does know how to sit and shake. Ozzy is a handsome, free-spirited Husky/Pit mix with a big personality and an adventurous heart. True to his Husky roots, he’s energetic, intelligent, and always ready to explore. Add in that Pit mix loyalty, and you’ve got a devoted companion who will bond deeply with his people. Ozzy has previously lived around other dogs and may do well with a proper introduction. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown. As with many young, active dogs, he’ll thrive in a home that can provide structure, exercise, and positive reinforcement training. Ozzy was surrendered due to resource guarding, so he’ll need an experienced, patient adopter who understands canine behavior and is willing to continue working on training and building trust. With clear boundaries and consistency, dogs like Ozzy can make incredible progress. Ozzy’s Ideal Home: Active household that can keep up with his energy Experienced dog owner Continued training and positive reinforcement Proper introductions to any resident pets If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a free spirit and tons of potential, Ozzy might just be your guy! Ozzy is described as a 'Free Spirit'. Intelligent, independent, confident and clever, I prefer making my own decisions but will listen to you if you make a good case. We’re partners in this adventure. Treat me like one and we’ll both live happily ever after. (Internally motivated).

Nova is a female Husky mixed doggy who is about 6 years old. Nova is good with dogs, but unsure of cats. One thing to note, she is an escape artist. She is described as a 'Goofball'.

Story
Layla is a female Labrador Retriever mixed doggy who is about 7 years old. She came to us after her owner passed away, so hopefully she will adopt a new owner soon. What will you do when you get lonely? No one waiting by your side? Come meet Layla! She's ready to ease your worried mind. We think she'll do well with other dogs and cats with a proper meet and greet. Layla would prefer relaxed, laid back days, long naps, watching movies, and curling up on laps. She is described as a 'Couch Potato'. Like the easy life? Then I’m the perfect match for you. I’m a relaxed, laid-back kind of dog who enjoys long naps, watching movies, curling up on laps, and walking very short distances from the couch to the food bowl and back. (Internally motivated).

Story
Lucky is a male Labrador Retriever mixed doggy who is about 4.5 years old. He was surrendered to us after his owner passed away. Lucky is sweet and sensitive and can be a bit nervous at first. Once comfortable, he shows off his loving and gentle nature. He is dog selective, so careful introductions are important. He would probably do best with older children who can respect his boundaries. He is described as a 'Constant Companion'. Looking for an emotionally secure, mutually satisfying, low maintenance relationship? I am all you need. Let me sit at your feet, walk by your side, and I’ll be your devoted companion forever. (Socially motivated).

Story
Lilac is a female Pitbull mixed doggie who is about 2.5 years old. Joy just exudes from this girl! Lilac is energetic and playful and looking for someone who loves to laugh! Lilac has a pretty high prey drive, so we think she'll do best with no other pets in the home. She loves toys and treats, and knows the Sit command. She's just adorable and has a happy-all-the-time demeanor! She sucks on her blanket too like she's nursing on it. It's really cute. She is described as a 'Goofball'.
