Story
AKC papers in hand - partially completed so you can complete registration under your name. Happy, playful puppy personality. Loves to play fetch, and ready to work and focus when on the leash. Super affectionate - the problem is the other dog wants nothing to do with her. Willing to waive adoption fee if picked up within 45 miles. Has her bowl and toys. We are sad to see her go, but believe in giving every dog the best life and treating her like a prisoner in her own home to keep her safe is not fair. Please consider giving this puppy the best life and a loving home.

Story
Bri is a fun, loving young dog who loves to play with toys run around in the backyard. She’s great at being around other dogs and people she is resource guarding me from my husband. We both work full-time jobs and she needs more attention than we can provide. She is super smart and loves to give hugs.

Story
🐾 Meet Husk! 🐾 Husk is a handsome 9-year-old senior Husky looking for a loving home to spend his golden years 💙 This sweet boy has previously lived successfully with another female Husky and may do well with the right canine companion. However, Husk is looking for a cat-free home. Husk enjoys his walks and is a wonderful leash buddy! He had TPLO surgery in 2022 and is currently favoring his other leg, so he’s on light duty while staying comfortable and healthy. The good news? DAWG will be covering Husk’s TPLO surgery post-adoption through Shelter Medical to help get this deserving boy on the road to recovery! ❤️‍🩹🐾 Despite everything, Husk remains full of love and charm. He’s a gentle, affectionate guy who simply wants a cozy home, soft bed, and family to call his own 🏡 Let’s help Husk find the forever home he deserves!
