Story
LOVES TO SNUGGLE AND GET OODLES OF ATTENTION Est. DOB 3/25/24, weight 40 lbs. This young girl Calliope is very sweet and playful, and has energy to spare! Her foster home has several dogs and Calliope wants to play -- er -- wrestle with all of them. She loves to go on walks, meet new people, play with her stuffed animal toys, and snuggle on the couch for movie time. Calliope was abandoned in the parking lot of a PetSmart but fortunately, her future foster mom worked at the store and scooped her right up! Calliope knows Sit and Wait, and likes to sleep in her crate at night. Calliope would love a home where she can get lots of attention and exercise as well as have a canine brother or sister to play with. Is that you? HOPE ID D24-1116-0045 Calliope is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $600 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Story
ALWAYS UP FOR AN ADVENTURE DOB 5/1/22, weight 65 pounds Hey there, everyone! I’m Xena, a sweet, incredibly friendly, spirited Siberian Husky mix gal whose heart is as big as my beautiful blue eyes. Due to my congenial nature, I love making new friends, whether they’re hooman or other dogs. I’m always up for an adventure – whether it’s a hike, a run, or just a fun day at the park. When the day is done, though, I’m an affectionate gal who just wants to relax and cuddle with Foster Mom. Since I’m quite smart and eager to please, she’s had a joy training me. It’s hard to believe that I was hanging out as a stray with no collar, tags, or chip outside of a game shop. Who would not tear the neighborhood apart searching for me -- unless I was abandoned because my owner couldn’t afford to keep me as their pet anymore? Ah well, I’m not looking back! I was making a homeless man very agitated because the game store was "his territory." Thank heavens Foster Mom brought me home to foster me when she was alerted to my situation, and she promises to find me the fantastic forever home that I deserve the second time around. If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, playful, and energetic companion for your active lifestyle, I’m ready to be your new best friend. Arrange to meet me today. I think you’ll find not only that am I stunningly beautiful eye candy, but also that spending time with me will a complete joy to your heart. HOPE ID: D24-0817-0033 Xena is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $600 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Story
WINNING PERSONALITY DOB 5/29/21, weight 38 lbs. Meet Mary Beth! This gorgeous girl is on the smaller size for a Husky, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for with her winning personality. She is very sociable and seeks human attention. She is good with children, very gentle, and very affectionate (and gives face kisses). She rarely barks or howls, and she is not a good guard dog for alerting to people at the door. Mary Beth would do great living in a cold climate! She is typically high energy and athletic, being both fast and agile. She will play tag/wrestle-mania with her sibling brother Charles, who is twice her size, which often becomes very animated. She gets really excited when she sees her leash that signals physical trips outside, either a walk in the neighborhood or a trip to the dog park. She does well at dog parks and is very socialized with other dogs. Just like her sibling brother Charles, she needs physical activity every day or she’ll become bored. She is very smart and inquisitive. She loves to "help you" in the kitchen if it means a tasty treat for her. She is an escape artist and needs tall and secure fencing. Mary Beth would be a great addition to a pet parent that is familiar with the Husky breed and is looking for a new family member. She has spent her whole life with her sibling brother Charles, but they do not have to be adopted together as long as she has another medium / large size dog in her life. HOPE ID D25-0517-0027 Mary Beth is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $600 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Story
GENTLE GIANT DOB 5/29/21, weight 74 lbs. Meet Charles! This stunning boy is large for this breed but otherwise could be the Siberian Husky poster dog. He has a “woolie” coat and, like all Huskies, a double coat. Charles would do great living in a cold climate! Charles is very sociable and can be affectionate and seek human attention too. He is good with children, very gentle. He rarely barks or howls except when he hears sirens when outside. He is basically low-energy and very calm for the breed. He will play tag/wrestle-mania with his sibling sister, Mary Beth, which often becomes very animated. Trips to the dog park, walks in the neighborhood and treats really excite Charles. He needs some physical activity every day. If given the chance he will escape and needs tall and secure fencing. Charles would be a great addition to a pet parent who is familiar with the Husky breed and is looking for a new family member. He has spent his whole life with his sibling sister Mary Beth, but they do not have to be adopted together as long as he has another large dog in his life. HOPE ID D25-0517-0028 Charles is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $600 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

Story
Meet Lizzie, a resilient survivor with the softest coat and the sweetest heart. Lizzie’s story began behind a Piggly Wiggly in Camden, AL, where she and her friends Buster and Belle were struggling to survive. Severely emaciated, covered in ticks and fleas, and frightened by the busy world around her, Lizzie’s chances looked slim. But with rescue, safety, and care, she blossomed into a healthy, happy pup. Now her true personality shines. Lizzie is endlessly snuggly and sweet, the kind of companion who loves nothing more than curling up close. Her short coat is silky soft, and her gentle nature makes her a joy to be around. Lizzie has made a full recovery and is thriving, but her heart still beats strongest when she’s near her best friend Buster. Ideally, these two inseparable companions would find a home together, where they can continue their journey side by side. If you’re ready to open your heart to a loving, resilient pup (or maybe even two), Lizzie is waiting to meet you.

Story
Meet Belle, a gentle soul with unshakable strength and a heart full of love. Belle’s story began behind a Piggly Wiggly in Camden, AL, where she lived alongside her friends Lizzie and Buster. Life there was harsh—food was scarce, danger was constant, and survival was never guaranteed. At some point, Belle suffered a broken hind leg that healed crooked, leaving a visible reminder of her struggles. But Belle never let her past slow her down. She walks, runs, and plays like any other dog, and the only thing she carries from her injury is her remarkable resilience. The leg doesn’t affect her daily life, though we keep an eye on it since the skin there is thin. What truly defines Belle is not her scar, but her sweet, gentle nature and her quiet determination to love and be loved. With her soft eyes and tender heart, Belle is ready for a forever home where she’ll be cherished for the survivor she is. If you’re looking for a companion who embodies grace, courage, and unconditional love, Belle is waiting to meet you.
