Story
I am helping a close friend find a loving, forever home for his two best friends. Due to an unavoidable international relocation, he is heartbroken that he cannot bring them. He wants to ensure they never have to experience the stress of a shelter environment. We are committed to keeping these two inseparable boys together. Max 3 years old Husky (brown and white, gentle giant. has a wonderfully mellow personality. Mikey 2 years old Husky/Cocker Spaniel Mix(tan and white). Mikey is Max’s son He is a playful, cuddly sweetheart. He can be a little shy when meeting new people. but once he warms up, he is a loyal and affectionate friend for life. These two have a beautiful, lifelong bond and provide each other with immense comfort. We are strictly looking for a home that can adopt them as a pair so they stay together during this life transition. We are asking that the rehome fee be donated directly to a local animal shelter. We will simply require proof of the donation.

My pet is a white dog named Luna. She answers to her name and has tear staining around her eyes (angel eyes). She is super sweet, playful, and loves being around people. She is 4 years old. She only bites if you smack her on the butt. She doesn’t eat dog food but eats ham and meat.

Story
Meet Lotus! Her favorite things are sniffy walks and gettingtreats from her people. Lotus is a sweet, young, sensitive pup looking foran understanding family who is willing to use positive reinforcement tobuild confidence and teach her how to be a well-mannered grown-up-pup. Sheis full of energy and will make a great companion for an active family.Lotus prefers the company of human friends to canine friends and wants tobe your only dog (for now), but we think she would enjoy having dog friendsto go on walks with. Lotus has been through a few transitions recently and will need a gentlestart, but once she feels secure, she`ll reward you with endless love andloyalty!

Meet Rei! She`s a goofy, affectionate, and (of course) vocal huskygirl who loves long walks, swimming, and hanging out with her favoritepeople and dog friendsshe will steal your heart! She can be a bitreserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient familywho will give her the time she needs to decompress and adjust to her newhome. Rei has enjoyed spending time around other dogs at the shelter, so wethink she would do great living with a good `role model` dog who isconfident and consistently friendly with people and other dogs, and wholikes to play and has a similar play style to Rei. Come meet this gorgeousgirl!

Story
Meet Jade, a charming older gal looking for that special someone to be the center of her world. Jade is a busy lady who would thrive in a quiet environment with a consistent routine and a family who is ready to make adjustments as she continues to settle in. She lived with children in her previous home, but was worried or overwhelmed when there was too much commotion, so she would do best in a lower-traffic home--if there are kids in the home, they should be able to follow her management plan.Jade can be a tad worried when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she is falling into your lap wanting endless pets. She says no thank you to living with dogs right now, please! Jade was reportedly scared of the cat in the previous home, so would prefer any cats in the home to be mellow and tolerant, and would need full separation onto start.Jade is on a prescription diet to help with previously diagnosed bladder stones. Her adopter will need close follow up with a vet to continue this!
