Story
Have you ever seen such a HANDSOME boy ??!! Meet STORM. He is 18 months old; full of personality; SO SMART; playful and very loving ❤ Storm is up to date on his vaccines and rabies; and on monthly preventative for fleas/ticks and heartworms. He will be neutered and microchipped soon. Storm needs a family who is experienced with huskies and loves this breed. A physically fenced in yard would be beneficial for Storm to run and play in safely. He is still learning to walk on a leash. He is a true companion; expressive with his face and eyes; is very curious about everything; talkative at times; and eager to please. Due to his prey drive, a home with no small dogs and no cats is a must. Storm will probably excel as the only dog in the home, however with the right personality match, he gets along with other dogs his size. If you are interested in Storm please go to our website: wwwabetterlifeanimalrescue.com fill out our adoption application and send. We also require a home visit. We are on a mission to find Storm an amazing home.💕

Story
This sweet dog showed up at our house last week. She is super sweet, just does not get along with other dogs. She is great with all people and kids. She was malnourished and you can tell she has had puppies before. We are unable to keep her because we have 2 other dogs, that do not get along with other dogs.

Story
My name is Ozzy. I am a smart, playful, sensitive and loving 1 year old. I was a stray/lost and was found by a neighbor. I love to play tug-of-war or shake with my stuffed animals. I’m good at sharing my toys. I need chew toys too. I like to wrestle. I stand up and use my paws like my 9 year old Boxer brother taught me. I play ball. I like to go on walks. I love to run and can do very fast zoomies off the leash. I do still pull a little on my leash but am learning. I haven’t got the jumping thing down yet. I get so excited when everyone comes home or I meet someone new. I love to sleep snuggled up to my person under the covers so I hope you don’t mind if I sleep with you or snuggle on the couch with you. I have a kennel too. My mom has an illness and we had to move in with her son who has dogs and cats. I get along fine with all the big dogs but am not getting along with the cats. My mom is very sad she must give me up and I will be sad to leave her. I need a special loving family.
