Story
Opie is a four year-old Mini American Eskimo. He is a purebred and I also have papers for him to be registered with the AKC. Opie is a great dog however he does have some behavioral issues. He was a Covid baby so he was never really around people so now he gets very skittish and excited when meeting new people. He can bark and jump and has even nipped before. But once you get to know him and he feels comfortable with you he is absolutely the best friend ever. He sleeps on me every night whether it’s my feet, my stomach or even my head lol. I have a doggie door so he’s pretty good about being potty trained. The problems lie more in things that can be fixed like barking and jumping and nipping. I’m hoping to find somebody with patients that’s willing to take him on as like a loving project and work with him to make him be the best dog that he can be. It just takes time for him to get comfortable with you. If you’re willing to put in a little time and care, he will be a great friend.

Story
Gia is a very good girl she loves cuddles and stuffed toys she is house trained and very smart, she does struggle when meeting strange dogs but does well after being introduced, she loves car rides and a good pup cup, shes great with kids and people and really bonds with women. She does have some allergies that make her itch we have tried different things to help but the thing that seems to help most is keeping her hair short. I wish I could keep her she is a amazing dog but I can no longer take care of her the way she needs due to person health

Story
We got her 8 years ago she was a pup from my ex wife's lab. She is an amazing dog with an awesome personality and she is great with kids we had other dogs and 2 cats here as well she got along with them all. She is getting older but she still has alot left in her. Her nickname is Lucy Goosy aka Eyore. She likes to chase her tail and play fetch she loves going on walks even though she is the one doing the walking. We arent worried about the adoption free as long as she is going to a good home. She is well loved and well behaved. She is 100% house broken and will scratch at the door when she needs to use the bathroom. Want a good friend, Lucy is the best candidate. She is very loving and cuddly. We just want her to go to a good home who will take very good care of her she deserves it.

Story
Neo is a blue merle he is 153 lbs and very energetic. Neo has never bitten any animals or anyone. He’s a big dog and thinks he’s a chihuahua, his tail could be listed as a weapon lol. Moved from GA four acres and a very roomy house to UT in a 3 story apartment . We work so much we don’t have the time to give him the attention he needs it breaks my heart to even type this but he really needs room to move and deserves someone that can provide him with all the love he should get. Neo is honestly a silly pup that just wants to be with you all day and night . He chews through toys like it’s food but he will keep some of the stuffed ones that he likes. It’s usually a fragile looking one or a monkey. I love him with all my heart and soul but he really doesn’t have enough room sometimes to turn around he has to back up and turn. I feel aweful about it but we had to move for job purposes and opportunities. He growls sometimes nothing threatening just like his little test lol. Big goofball

Story
We are looking for a new home for our sweet boy Otis. With a second child on the way we unfortunately will no longer have the time or the available space to give Otis what he deserves. He is 2.5 years old (3 in June) and a Shepard dog mixed breed. We suggest a home with a decent back yard or some sort of land for Otis to explore and get his energy out as he is a herd dog. He is also a very anxious dog when it comes to meeting new humans or dogs out of his immediate circle (very protective of his people) He is also anxious around children and their unpredictable behavior, so a home with older kids or no kids would probably make for the best fit. Overall we just want Otis to find his perfect forever home as he is such a sweet and supportive dog who spent the first year of his life bouncing between shelters, eventually landing at the human society where we got to take him home

Alaskan Malamute

Story
Keiko is a very sweet 1 year old big guy who deserves all the love. He is goofy, playful, affectionate, and loves being active just as much as taking naps. In typical Malamonster fashion, he is VERY food motivated, intelligent, and stubborn. Needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation. Keiko adores every human he meets. He’s been raised with little kids and does his best to be gentle around them, but he is large and clumsy and can be at risk of knocking little ones over with his big booty. He also tries to jump up and give big hugs when meeting new people. He gets along great with other large dogs, but caution is advised with smaller animals. He also has not been around many other male dogs, and this breed can be prone to same sex aggression (has not yet been seen in Keiko, just something to be aware of.) We love him, but can’t give him what he needs. He’s basically a giant fluffy toddler and deserves more attention. Purebred with AKC limited papers and vaccine records included.
