Story
Diesel is a handsome 2-year-old husky mix who weighs about 45 pounds and has a big heart packed into one enthusiastic, affectionate pup. With an energy level of 4, Diesel loves being active, exploring, and spending time with the people and dogs around him.This gentle boy is especially sweet with people. He loves affection, enjoys cuddling, and is happiest when he can be part of the action. Diesel also loves other dogs and would do best with canine companionship. He isn’t currently considered a good fit as an only dog, so a friendly doggy sibling would be a wonderful match for him.Diesel is house trained and is working on his crate training. Like many adventurous huskies, he enjoys digging, so his family will need to help redirect that behavior and provide plenty of exercise and enrichment. He’s also a jumper and will need a high, secure fence whenever he’s outside.Diesel’s experience with cats and children is unknown, so introductions should be handled carefully and thoughtfully. What is known is that he is incredibly gentle with people, affectionate, playful, athletic, and eager to share his life with a loving family.If you’re looking for a sweet, active cuddle buddy who loves people and dogs, Diesel may be your perfect adventure partner.

Story
Sashimi is a young girl, about a year old, and has all THAT husky energy and verve. She is in doggy-day care and plays hard all day....she runs like a gazelle and expresses her opinion like a boss! She doesn't pull on the leash, but tends to wander and check out every blown leaf or moving object. She corrects well, and is VERY treat motivated.This freckle-faced cutie is at the perfect age to settle into a home where she can continue learning, growing, and showing off her personality.If you’re looking for a sweet young pup who is ready for a fresh start, Sashimi may be the one for you.

BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.October 24, 2026, 8:01 pm

Story
Maxine is a petite 2-year-old husky weighing about 34 pounds, with a gentle heart and an adorably cuddly personality. Her foster family says she may be called Maxi, but “Mini” might suit her better because she’s such a small husky girl! Maxine’s first two years weren’t the easiest, so new experiences can sometimes feel a little scary. She’s very timid at first, but she’s also incredibly sweet and friendly with people. Since arriving in foster care, she’s been learning that the world can be a safe place, and she’s growing braver every day. This quiet, affectionate girl loves long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. She’s also very excited about mealtime, although she can be a picky eater. Maxine prefers a little company when she goes potty, but she always does her business outside. Dog doors, however, are still mysterious and firmly not her favorite thing! Maxine is house trained and crate trained. She sleeps peacefully in her crate all night and doesn’t mind eating there, too. She isn’t especially interested in toys and is still learning how to play with other dogs. She can be selective about her canine companions, but she could happily be an only dog. Her experience with cats is unknown. Maxine is good with children of all ages and hasn’t shown any interest in escaping the yard. What she really wants is attention from her people, a couple of walks each day, and a cozy place to relax. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key cuddle buddy and an adorable exercise accountability partner, Maxine may be your perfect match.October 22, 2026, 8:58 pm
