Story
Sasha is ready to find her furever. She loves long walks, lots of pets and treats. She would love some time to get used to a place and decompress...a chance to become her true self. She loves to chat in her husky language and longs for someone to listen. Long walks, ample pets and regular treat time are just simple things for a simple girl. Actually, we think she should have it all! If you agree, Sasha can't wait to meet you!

Maverick is a guy who knows what he wants. Sometimes what he wants is to be with his favorite people.

Maverick is a big fan of fetch and snack puzzles. He loves having a snack puzzle to keep him busy if he has to be alone. His favorite toy is a ball and he loves sleeping on his own cozy bed or his crate. Maverick is a guy who responses well to patience and training. Staff can provide some ideas to support his blending into a new family and what resources will help to make your partnership a success.

Moos is an older guy who loves to be active. He is a fan of fetch and destuffing toys. Moos is a good walker and is excited to burn off some energy. He has lived with kids and did great. Moos is not keen on cats and would do best in a home without small animals. He is excited to find his human and begin exploring the hills and trails in the sunny days ahead. Moos deserves to get out of our care and into a great home...can you help a pup out?

Story
Lilly just got back from an amazing time in a loving foster home. The visit gave us some great insight into this senior gal. Now she is ready for her furever home and future adventures. Her foster pawrents said: Lilly is a friendly, easy going companion. She has hip dysplasia, but still looks forward to her morning walks and has good energy in the morning, she moves well in the morning. A good routine that works for her is, 15 minute walk in the morning and a 15 minute walk before dinner at 6, if she sticks to this routine she does well. She loves meeting new people but isn't crazy about meeting dogs. She likes traveling in the car but needs help getting in and out of the car. Lilly would be a good fit for someone who is looking for good low maintenance companionship. She may be low maintenance but she pawmices to love BIG!
