Story
Meet Midnight: A large mixed breed dog with a whole lot of love to give! Midnight is proof that even after a rough start, there’s still so much love waiting to be shared. This handsome boy came to us from a neglectful situation and is working on getting back to a healthy weight. Now, he’s ready to find a safe, loving home where he can finally settle in and be someone’s special guy.And what does Midnight want most out of life? CUDDLES. Snuggles. Sofa time. More cuddles. This sweet boy has a heart as big as his frame, and if you’re looking for a giant lovebug who will happily keep you company, Midnight might just be your guy. Now, we do need to talk about his appetite. Midnight is a bit of a four-legged vacuum cleaner. If he thinks it might be edible, he’s willing to investigate—and sometimes that includes things that absolutely should NOT be eaten. His toys, for example, are apparently just snacks in disguise. He’ll need a home that can keep tempting objects out of reach, supervise his playtime, and help him stay safe.Midnight will do best as the only dog in an adult-only home where he can enjoy all the attention, have a predictable routine, and focus on being the center of someone’s world.Midnight’s wish list:An adult-only homeNo other dogsA family who appreciates a big, sweet snuggle buddyPlenty of supervision to keep his enthusiastic eating habits in checkThe chance to feel safe, loved, and cared forMidnight has had a tough beginning, but his next chapter can be filled with soft beds, full bellies, gentle care, and all the cuddles his enormous heart can handle.Could you be the one to show Midnight that the best days of his life are still ahead?

Story
Meet Kona, a handsome 6-year-old Malamute looking for an experienced home that understands the big personalities and unique needs of northern breeds! Kona is a dog who knows what he likes and would thrive with someone who can provide structure, consistency, and a little Malamute know-how. He has a strong prey drive, so a home without cats or small animals is a must. Kona can also be selective with his canine companions but may do well with a calm, low-key dog who respects his space. An adult-only home or one with respectful teenagers would be the best fit for this fluffy guy. If you love the Malamute breed and are ready to give Kona the understanding and guidance he needs, he may just be your perfect match!
