Story
Nimbus (or as his foster “brother likes to call him” little Buddy) is a very special boy and the reason that people fall in love with huskies! He’s super smart, everyone is his best friend, and he’s guaranteed to be a better communicator than most people you know. This blue eyed boy has been socialized with people (adults and kids), dogs, cats and even farm animals and is quickly mastering the early basics of potty training, crate training, and human training. Nimbus has some special diet requirements (a least for now but potentially for life) - but we promise he is well worth the special attention! He’s more than ready to be someone’s lifelong adventure buddy and best friend!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Ily! Which is short for I love you, because we guarantee she does, Ily knows no strangers! This sweet girl is 55 pounds of pure goodness! Ily is for sure an intelligent mixed breed, our best guess is some sort of a cattle dog/border collie mix. She would be a fun girl to get a DNA test for!   As afore mentioned Ily loves EVERYONE! She has yet to meet kids, but would likely be a huge fan. Ily does really well with her foster dog siblings she is usually submissive with them and has great and respectful body language when asking to play. Ily is house broken and crate trained! She quickly figured out the doggy door and is always a good girl about taking herself out to go potty.    Ily’s favorite activities are playing with other dogs, chewing on her toys on a fat fluffy bed, and tossing them around the house so she can pounce on them (as far as we know she has no cat DNA in her bloodline), and getting all the loves.    Ily has been really great at practicing not jumping up when she is struggling to contain her excitement to see you. Ily runs into her crate on command and knows how to sit. Ily loves food and is extremely treat motivated in her training. She is learning the leash and always improving!   Ily has yet to meet a cat but would likely adjust to living with them in the right home. Ily needs love, walks, and good structure in her home and she will flourish. This lady is a delightful companion!   If you’re looking for a special valentine this year then apply to meet Ily @ https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
Buck is a sweet, soulful boy with a heart as big as his gentle eyes. He’s the kind of dog who truly connects with his people and loves nothing more than spending time by your side. Buck is a smart cookie, too, he already knows a whole collection of tricks, including sit, shake, spin, speak, and down, and he’s always eager to show them off (especially if there’s cookies involved!). One of Buck’s favorite things is heading out for a nice walk, where he can enjoy the fresh air and explore the world with his person. Whether you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy or a loving companion to share your days with, Buck is ready to be your best friend. If you’re searching for a well-mannered, affectionate dog with a soulful charm, Buck just might be the one you’ve been waiting for
