Story
***Adoption fee WAIVED***You don't need to be Jon Snow to adopt this Ghost - I promise, no Night's Watch oath required! I'm a striking Siberian Husky with a love for the great outdoors and plenty of energy to spare. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or just hanging out together, I enjoy spending time with my people. That said, I do have an independent streak-classic Husky behavior, of course! Sometimes I like to do my own thing, but don't worry, I'll always circle back to check in on my favorite humans.I'm looking for an active home that understands my adventurous spirit and appreciates a dog with both brains and personality. I'd love a family that will keep me engaged, take me on outdoor adventures, and respect my occasional need for "me time." If you're looking for a fun-loving, intelligent, and slightly mysterious best friend, then I just might be the Ghost you've been searching for!Ghost is great with people and kids. A rock star! We take him to group events and he charms everyone he meets! He is best as your only pet. Housetrained and Oh, so handsome!Complete the online adoption application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. The shelter is open by appointment for approved adopters.

Story
Meet Gary - a bulldog mix with the emotional depth of a soap opera star and a single life goal: YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.Gary loves affection from ANYONE willing to give it...and passionately campaigns for it from everyone who isn't. Strangers? Future best friends. Neighbors? Obviously here for him. If hands are available, Gary believes they should be petting him. If they're not, he'll gently (and sometimes dramatically) remind you of your responsibilities. He's sturdy, charming, and completely unapologetic about his need to be admired. Gary thrives on praise, cuddles, and being the center of whatever room he waddles his way into. In return, he offers endless entertainment, loyal companionship, and the kind of love that only a bulldog with zero personal boundaries can provide. If you're looking for a dog who will make you feel like the most important person in the world - whether you asked for it or not - Gary is ready to move in and take over your heart, your couch, and your lap.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.
