Story

Just in time for some wintery weather here’s POLAR BEAR 🤍 Sweet POLAR BEAR is just under a year old which is hard to believe since this big guy is close to 100lbs! POLAR BEAR came to our rescue from an accidental litter born to a family who lived on a farm. He and his siblings spent the first ten months of their lives roaming the farm land which was very unsafe for a multitude of reasons so A Lab for Life was contacted to help these sweet pups out. Since moving in to his foster home POLAR BEAR has really been enjoying the indoor life! He’s gotten a bath which was not his favorite. He’s gotten lots of love and attention which is definitely his favorite. Despite being given very little training in his early months, POLAR BEAR has picked up potty training with no problem. He is left to roam in his foster house and has had zero issues. POLAR BEAR loves to play with other dogs both big and small. He’s been around kiddos as well and is very gentle despite his size. POLAR BEAR is definitely a velcro dog. He wants to be wherever his foster dad is and he’s even tried out being a lap dog a time or two. He can often be found placing just one paw on his foster dad’s leg and then slowly the rest of him tries to follow. This sweet boy just loves to be loved. He’s happy to sniff around and go for walks but he could use some leash training as he can pull a bit. POLAR BEAR is a gentle giant who would be a good fit for someone who has the space to love such a big happy guy! Could that be with you?

Story

Ruger is a handsome Husky (possibly a mix) estimated to be 5–7 years old. While his exact birthday is unknown, he is healthy, vibrant, and full of personality. True to his breed, Ruger is high-energy, intelligent, and loves to run. Ruger would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard where he can safely burn off energy. He is a known runner and has a strong prey drive, so a home without farm birds or small livestock is essential. He has been amazing with our children and is affectionate, loyal, and deeply bonded to his people. Ruger enjoys being part of the family and does best with an owner who understands Huskies and can provide consistent exercise, structure, and enrichment. This decision has been heartbreaking for our family. Due to repeated incidents with farm birds on our family’s property, we have been given an ultimatum and must rehome him. This is not a decision made lightly, and our greatest hope is to find Ruger a safe, capable
