Story
Huck is a 1.5 year old pure bred charcoal lab. He has limited AKC registration (meaning his puppies cannot be registered). He had all of his vaccinations up to one year old, but we have not taken him to get his most recent vaccinations as of yet. Huck is crate trained and house broken. He is a super loving, sweet boy, but unfortunately he needs much more attention than we can currently provide. My husband and I work extremely long hours, and he is deserving of a great family who can spend every bit of free time with him, taking him on long walks and hikes (which he looooves). I had a back injury and multiple surgeries, so it limits what I can do with him due to his size. We are heartbroken to have to do this. ONLY serious inquiries please. Asking price is partly to ensure whoever takes him home is serious about giving him the love he needs. We NEED to know he is going to get TONS of love, attention, and human interaction.

Story
This is Onyx. He just turned 1yr old in July. We got him as a puppy but since July of last year our circumstances have changed dramatically. This poor boy needs a place to run & get lots of excerise as he is a lab and if you are knowledgable to the breed you know they have lots of energy. He has had some behavioral problems purley due to bordem and has be in his kennel a lot of the time. We have tried many things to try to get him to adapt but unfortunetly he needs so much more than we can offer and he deserves so much more. He is very sweet but skiddish. He is SUPER playful & has been socialized with other dogs but still needs some experience and learning. He has been raised with our 10yr old German Shepherd & 2 cats (he does still chases the cats.) We have never experienced any kind of violence from him. I just want to give him a better life. He is so cute & honestly just a gentle giant. I did post a puppy picture and two other pictures to show his size. Fully Vaccinated. Not Spayed.

Story
We got Murph in April of 2022 from the humane society in Truckee Ca. We currently don't have the time to take her out as much as we would like and we feel guilty about it, so we are looking for a good family to take her into your home. She is a friendly and loving family dog. She will cuddle with you all day. Her loud bark will warn off anyone that comes around the house, but she is friendly with everyone. She will talk to you like a husky to let you know what she wants. She has a bed that she is trained to lay down on as her (place), and she is very treat/reward driven. She is a strong willed dog so we have her trained with a training collar. She will walk next to you with a heal command, but she does listen better with her training collar.

Story
Skye Husky - 1-2years old - Female Skye is the mother to Daisy, Tommy, Stevie, Gillian and Ellyn. When she was first picked up as a stray dog in Lassen County the animal control officers didn't even realize she was pregnant! A few days later there were puppies in her kennel, what a surprise! Now that she's had time to raise her little ones (she has been a FANTASTIC mom!) it's time for her to focus on herself. She's so young and it's clear that she is just a pup herself. She's playful and mischievous, as any good husky should be! Her future family should be active and be ready to give lots of belly rubs. Skye has a pretty high prey drive and would not be a good candidate for a home with cats or other small critters such as chickens or rabbits. She has done well with all dogs we have introduced her to so far and has a very pleasant temperament with other dogs. She can be wary of new people at first, especially men, but treats absolutely help! Typically she warms up within a few minutes and then she will literally be in your lap! We believe Skye is between 1-2 years old. She is fully vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. She will need to wait 2 weeks post-weaning her puppies to be spayed, so if that doesn't happen before she goes home a voucher will be provided to cover the cost of that at our vet!

Story
Freddy was chained at a property in Cancun. Very short chain with limited access to food and water. He was very thin with skin issues, and basically neglected, yet his sunny disposition still shone. After being rescued, he blossomed into an incredible dog. Somewhat territorial with other males (his "job" having been to protect the property where he'd been living); he does get along with most dogs and all people. He has a sweet, inherent spirit. From our website: FREDDY✨ 😎 Breed: terrier/australian shepherd mix 🐶 Age 3 years 🌍 Location: Cancun, Mexico but we will bring him to Lake Tahoe for adoption in the future 💙 Male 📏 Size: medium ⚖️ Weight: 12 kg (26 lbs) 🩺Vetting: Full vaccine complete, Puppy, Quíntuple Rabies, Bordatella. Dewormed, Spayed/ Neutered, 4DX snap, Nexgarde/Simparica. Healthy. 💃Energy: ACTIVE 🐶Dog Friends: Yes 👧🏽 Friends: Yes – he has been friendly with dogs. He is an ACTIVE absolutely loving boy and definitely one’s best friend ⛓Leash etiquette: Yes 🥘 Resource guarding: He was chained to a tree for 3 years so food is his main interest for now He is very obedient when spoken to and well behaved but needs a little of basic training, everything is new for him 📣 Bark/noisy: Will bark only to communicate and sometimes when he is excited and happy 🏡 Housebroken: Yes ⛓ Leash etiquette: Yes ! 🚙 Good in car: Yes, calm in the car! TEMPERAMENT FREDDY is an incredibly sweet and loving dog, very calm. He would make for a great companion to someone who is looking for a companion, he loves to be around people and Freddy is beginning to explore the world. He also would be great with a family, as he already has shown gentle affection. Freddy is currently working with a trainer in Cancun to overcome his territorial issues. We would love him to go to a very special person/family due to his rough beginning. With the right people, he will make a very good companion.
