Story
This is the third husky I’ve had, wonderful dog and amazing breed. He is a purebred dog from a line that has been bred since the 1950’s so he’s 100% husky. The issuei am having is my role has changed for work, and I am now required to travel 90% of the time. He’s not getting the attention, work, or love he needs and I don’t want to continue to have to board him, as he has anxiety when it’s too long. He loves people, dogs, kids, and just about everything except maybe small outdoor creatures. He’s all up to date on shots, heartworm, flea and tick prevention. When I’m able he gets 5 good walks a day, and tug and play time at home. He has attended some daycare to socialize and also socializes on walks. He’d be very good as himself or part of a pack.

Story
May is a sweet, smart and energetic girl who is approximately 2 years old. She was adopted from a shelter and she is not good with our cats. In addition she is crated for too long during the day. She needs someone who is home and can give her daily exercise. She is anxious when left alone and takes medication. She is crated during the day while we are at work. It is a very long day for her. We keep her on a leash in the house while the cats are out, for the cats safety. She loves to run in the yard and play ball. She is very affectionate and sleeps in the bed with us at night. She deserves someone who is home more and where she can be the only pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dixie is a pure bred Belgian Sheepdog-Malinois, who has papers and is 16 months old. Her owner adopted her when she was a baby and unfortunately he can no longer keep her due to he has cancer and can not take care of her like she needs to be. He called Four the Paws to see if we could find her a great home because that is all he wants for her. She received all her shots but will be spayed prior to her adoption. Dixie is a little shy right now being moved from her home and she doesn't now what is going on, but she loves to play with her toys and is very good on a leash and loves to go for walks. If you could give this beautiful girl a new loving home go to www.fourthepaws.org to fill out an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 2, 2025, 11:58 am
