Story
Meet Mikey, your future adventure buddy with a heart as big as his fluffy paws! This handsome Husky puppy is full of curiosity, energy, and that signature playful spirit the breed is known for. Mikey loves exploring the world around him—whether it’s rolling around in the snow, playing tug of war, or zooming around the yard like he’s training for the Iditarod. He’s incredibly smart and eager to learn, which means he’ll thrive in a home that’s ready to keep his mind and body active. Puzzle toys, long walks, and plenty of playtime will make this boy one happy pup. One of Mikey’s favorite things? Other dogs! He absolutely loves having canine friends to play with and would do great in a home with another friendly pup or with regular opportunities for doggy playdates. But Mikey isn’t just about fun and games—he’s also got a sweet, affectionate side. After a day of adventures, he’s all about snuggles, belly rubs, and being close to his favorite humans. He’s looking for a family who will give him structure, love, and the patience to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s destined to be. Because he’s a Husky, Mikey would do best with an active household and someone familiar with (or ready to learn about) the breed’s needs—think exercise, training, and maybe a little bit of that classic Husky sass! If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with laughter, Mikey is ready to meet you. Adopt Mikey and start your next great adventure together. 🐾 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Celexa Celexa’s story starts out a little heartbreaking—but her future is nothing but bright. This sweet girl was rescued in northern Minnesota after being found in a trash compactor alongside her siblings, with no mom in sight. She was tiny, fragile, and needed to be bottle-fed just to survive. Thanks to lots of love and care, Celexa has grown into a happy, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever home. Celexa is a total cuddlebug at heart. Her favorite place to be is right next to you—whether that means snuggled up on the couch, curled at your feet, or quietly keeping you company. She has a gentle, loving personality that makes her an easy companion for cozy days at home. She also has a playful side! Celexa loves romping around with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine buddy. She gets along well with cats, too, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Celexa already knows how to sit and is working hard on her potty training—she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn, especially when treats are involved! She’s very food motivated, which will make training a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Celexa has come so far from her rough start, and now all she needs is a loving home where she can continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will shower you with love and snuggles, Celexa might just be your perfect match. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
The adoption fee listed above is completely sponsored by a generous donor, so her adoption fee is waived! Sasha is as sweet as they come. This beautiful, well-mannered 4-year-old girl has worked so hard with her trainer and has become an absolute leash-walking champ! She’s fully muzzle-conditioned and happy to wear it! Sasha has never shown any people aggression, but she does have a strong prey drive—so she’ll need to wear her muzzle anytime she’s outside for the safety of our small dog friends and any other small critters in your neighborhood. We’d love to see her future home have a tall privacy fence where she can safely enjoy regular off-leash time without her muzzle. She’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her people—whether it’s relaxing after a long day or joining you on adventures. Sasha does well with other dogs with slow introductions. This sweet girl is gentle with her toys, easy to bathe, and full of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-trained companion who’s ready for her next chapter, Sasha is your girl! 📹 See her in action: 🔗 Watch Sasha’s playlist All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Twinkie: A Gentle Soul Learning to Shine ✨ Twinkie is a beautiful black and white Sheltie with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. Recently surrendered from a commercial breeder, she is just beginning to discover what it means to be a beloved companion—and every day, she grows a little braver. Twinkie is a sweet, gentle girl who thrives in calm environments. She’s still learning that the world can be safe and kind, so she’s looking for a quiet, patient household that will give her the time and understanding she needs to blossom at her own pace. Watching her come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding—those small victories, like approaching for affection or exploring a new space, feel like big celebrations. She would be perfectly content as an only dog, soaking up the love and attention of her people. That said, Twinkie may also enjoy having another calm, confident dog in the home to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. The good news? She’s cat-friendly, making her a wonderful candidate for many different types of gentle homes. Twinkie may start out shy, but beneath that timid exterior is a loyal companion just waiting to trust and connect. With patience, kindness, and a predictable routine, she will continue to grow into the loving dog she was always meant to be. If you have a quiet home, a compassionate heart, and the patience to help a shy dog find her courage, Twinkie might be the perfect match for you. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

She loves being held and cuddling on the couch, soaking up every bit of affection she can get. With her calm, sweet nature, she would be a great fit for a family with kids.
