Story
***Honey is sponsored by the Lyon family. We know she will make a great addition to the home of her adoptive family!***Honey is a 1 year old mixed breed who came to the shelter as a stray. She is a medium sized dog, weighing about 43lbs. Honey is a real sweetheart who loves attention and cuddles! She would love some room to run for when she gets her zoomies. She has gotten along well with other dogs but a meet and greet is always recommended for other dogs in the home. Honey will benefit from positive reinforcement training to ensure good behavior and manners.

Story
Meet Blake! If you're looking for a big, fun-loving Husky who will play with you all day long, here's your boy. Blake loves to play with people, toys, and other dogs! As a big guy who is very eager to make friends, Blake can come on pretty strong, so would do best with another social dog. A meet and greet with any dogs in the household is always recommended. Blake is eager to learn and would benefit from positive reinforcement training to work on his skills and manners! He came to CHA through our partnership with ASPCA. Blake is a gorgeous 2-year-old who weighs 72 lbs.

Story
Thunder is a handsome wiggly boy with lots of energy and an affinity for cuddles! He has enjoyed playgroups with other high-energy dogs and would likely do well with another social dog. He also really enjoys his toys and playing fetch with a tennis ball. Thunder already knows how to sit and come and would benefit from rewards-based training to increase his skills. He is treat motivated and eager to learn. Due to his high-energy greetings, he will do best in a home with older children. Thunder arrived at the shelter underweight and currently weighs 44lbs, but is a medium-size dog and will likely weigh 50-55lbs at his healthiest. Come meet this sweet, snuggly, bouncy 2 year old and let him wiggle his way right into your heart!

Story
Barrett and his ears would love to meet you. This big, hunk of love is seeking an active family to go on adventures with. While he is still working on his basic manners and loose-leash walking skills, he is treat motivated and seems to enjoy engaging with his people for training activities. Barrett is a strong boy yet loves to snuggle even if it means draping his entire body on hispeople to let them know he's a just a "little lap dog". When meeting other dogs, Barrett becomes excited andwants to rush in to say Hi. Provided the other dog is also social and playful, Barrett is quick to pop into play. He will likely do best with other big, social-rowdy playful dogs to match his style. Barrett is a large sized mixed breed, approximately 2 years young and currently weighs 71 pounds
