Story
Thank you for your interest in Dusty. We can't imagine how terrible his life was prior to coming into our care. He lived for approximately 8 years in a barn or shed. No love from people. No clean bed. No frolicking in the yard. No walks where he could sniff the world around him. Then one day he was ripped from that place and he was terrified. Little did he know life was about to get a whole lot better! A clean bed. Play in a wonderful yard. Walking and sniffing the world and more love than he thought possible. We are amazed that he is willing to interact with us, learn from us. He allows us to touch him and is actually starting to ask for our touch! Gosh, we love this dog!

Story
Sky (bonded with Luke) was returned to us due to no fault of his own. He is a very active boy who would do well in a active home and loves to be outside! His buddy Luke has lived with him for several years and they do a great job keeping each other active.He and Luke would benefit from regular exercise and obedience training. That being said, they are both very smart and eager to learn. In their last home he lived with kids 12 + and we would recommend him being in a home that has kids that old or older. Sky won't do well in a home that has cats.Sky is not a fan of being crated but with the proper exercise will sleep a lot as happy dogs do. Husky experience is preferred with this young fellow! Sky also suffers from separation anxiety and will need a stay-at-home guardian to help him feel more confident. More information on Sky from his previous experience with us:Sky is a beautiful and comical Husky that came into our care through no fault of his own.He recently spent some time in a foster home so we could see how he did in a non-shelter environment.With a couple of good walks a day, he was content to lounge on his bed. He heels well once the initial energy is gone and the foster home indicated he was great with toys and treats. We can put you in touch with his former foster dad on training/walking techniques he used as he is dog savvy. Unfortunately, he had to be gone from home a lot currently and Sky wasn't keen on being in a crate as he wants to be with people or out enjoying the weather.He had a slow introduction to an older laid back dog in the home and did well they walked together a lot. He also met the neighbour's dogs through the fence and showed great play body language. If you have another dog a meet and greet is mandatory here at the shelter outside. No cats/small animals please as huskies can have a prey drive. Sky has a lot of energy and is very true to his breed. He is confident, smart, active and goofy. Sky also suffers from separation anxiety and will need a stay-at-home guardian to help him feel more confident. Sky has been with us a while, as we learned more about him and have been doing some basic training, he has pretty decent leash manners and loves to sit, shake a paw and get treats for being such a good boy! He is super smart and would enjoy a busy life with learning new things. The best home for him is one with a high, fully fenced yard, indoor/outdoor access to a yard and a true husky lover with a lot of experience.

Story
Meet Ford! He is a happy go lucky guy who will meet you with a wag of his tail when you come home. He is an 8 year old beagle mix who came to us as a stray and was not claimed.He is a good boy who could use some work improving his leash walking skills but is happy to learn when out with our volunteer team.We think he would do well in a home with another calm dog and could be good with cats - but a real slow introduction will make sure that they stay friends.

Story
Meet Sophie! She is the sweetest little lady (well not so little) you will meet. She is a 5 year old boxer/terrier mix who arrived here as a stray and was not claimed. We can't for the life of us understand why because she lights up any room that she is in. Sophie loves to spend time with the volunteer walkers and we think she would do well in a adult only home. She is not a fan of cats, but we have seen her do well with bigger calm male dogs. If you think your calm male dog would like a play mate she might be a good match. We can do a meet and greet here with your dog to see how they might get along.Come down and meet Sophie...she is very excited to meet you.
