Story
Thor is about 6.5 months old now and is honestly very sweet. I got the little guy from the family member of a close friend so I figured everything should be fine. Overall, he is a very good dog, but extremely skittish. Like scared of everything, even me. I feel like he just needs someone that can be with him a lot more through the day and he will break out of his shell and be one of the fun-loving husky's that we know and love. From what I can tell the previous owner who had both mother and father were pretty good with dogs and wouldn't have abused him or anything, but I work a lot. 10-hour days, on top of being a community event planner and small business owner. My girlfriend isn't much help either, so another home with more time to spend with him would be in his best interest. He's not very vocal like most husky's, he 'talks' a little but mostly when he is ready to be let outside. I will give his XL cage, toys, paperwork, and any food left to his new owners as well.

Story
Rocky is a sweet 3 year old pure breed from Mexico! Rocky is very energetic and loves attention but needs an experienced owner as he has a lot of energy. Rocky is house trained but has no shots and is not fixed. Rocky’s foster mom is currently pregnant and going through a separation and unable to keep him. Would love to rehome Rocky with an owner who may have older kids but has experience and lots of patience and love to give him!

Story
I can be very aloof like a cat and do my own thing, but sometimes I like to cuddle too. It just depends on my mood. I also understand that this bell on the door gets your attention so I will ring it if I want something. I love to play tug of war, and I love soft toys, but I will tear them to shreds within minutes. I do have some allergies that I still have not completely figured out. I am still trying to figure these out and will need your help. I love going on walks, but I love to talk! I do really well with new people and kids, and I want to be with them the whole time they visit. I am crate trained and trained to eat in my crate. I know how to sit and am expected to sit before I get a treat or get my leash on/off. I get pretty excited about my treats (ice).

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chuy is a cuddle bug! He thinks he is a small, lap dog, despite reality! He has never been around cats, so we are not sure how he would do. Chuy loves people and kids. He does jump up when he gets excited, but we have been trying to work with him on that. He is house trained and trained to eat in his crate. He does not sleep there though. When it comes to eating, he eats Nature's Recipe, Grain free Chicken and Pumpkin dog food. He really loves to be outside and roll around in the grass in the warm sun. Sadly, we don't have a fenced yard, so we are not sure how he would do, but we think he would love it. Chuy loves to chew on the super chewer hard toys.
