Story
Freya was brought to us from a family member who couldn’t take care of her anymore. She has lived with another dog before but is very anxious with other dogs besides the one she lives with. She is very energetic and barks a ton but when told to go lay down she will. She knows how to sit and drops stuff when told to. Though she is good with kids she just gets too excited and jumps sometimes.

Story
Meet Olaf! Olaf is a sweet, goofy and playful 1 year old pup with the cutest underbite! He is sure to make everyone he meets smile. He is an awkward guy and spends most of his day stumbling over his long legs. His personality definitely matches his looks! When he's not off being clumsy, he can be found by his favorite people's side, giving lots of kisses and affection. He has been DNA tested and his results came back as followed- 41% Siberian Husky 29% American Pit Bull Terrier 16% American Staffordshire Terrier 6% American Bulldog 4% Rottweiler He loves meeting new doggy friends and would love to have a doggy sibling! As much as he loves other dogs, sometimes he's not the best at reading their body language. He does best with tolerant, energetic and playful pups who don't mind his crazy playstyle (and the lots of kisses that he hands out- whether they want them or not). Olaf has also lived with cats, who he did great with. He is very submissive towards them! Olaf truly loves everyone and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is high energy, and frequent exercise would be very beneficial for him. He does still have puppy tendencies and will chew on things if left unattended- it's his biggest challenge! It is best if he is crated when unattended, for his safety. He is also still working on his leash manners and polite greetings- he loves to jump up to give hugs. Olaf is house trained, crate trained and is not a big barker or howler. He is very treat motivated and would love to learn new tricks! He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, HW- and microchipped. Olaf would make the perfect addition to almost any household! He is such a sweet boy with a lot of love to give! Does Olaf sound like a good fit for your family? Reach out for an adoption application!
