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.

Meet Barkley, the 6 month old German Shepherd prodigy with a goofy grin and brain that never stops going.This silly, smart-as-a-whip youngster is the perfect mix of goofball energy and puzzle-solving genius. Barkley LIVES for treat puzzles, snuffle mats, and any game that makes his shepherd brain go "challenge accepted!" If it involves nose-to-the-ground searching, assessing, detecting and problem solving, Barkley is already 3 steps ahead of you, with his propeller tail.When he's not conquering enrichment toys like a tiny professor, Barkley's all about fun - zoomies, chasing whatever you're willing to throw for him, and making you laugh with his adorable antics. He's eager to learn, eager to please, and eager to turn every day into an adventure that keeps his mind (and your heart) full. If you're looking for a bright, bouncy best friend who's as entertaining as he is clever, Barkley is ready to graduate straight into your home and your life.
