Story
Winston is one as of November 2025. He has been the best dog, and it brings me great pain to have to part ways with him. He is the kindest and most loyal dog to his owners. He loves to play, cuddle, and go for road trips. The reason I am giving him up is due to his fear-based reactivity. I live in a small apartment, and he would be much happier with land to roam. He is a sweet dog, so I think with proper training this could be resolved. I don’t have the time or money to treat these issues right now. I am looking for an experienced dog owner who is ready to welcome Winston into their life. He will make the best addition to your family with the proper care.

Story
Luna (female, 7, grey/white) and Thor male, 9, red/white) have lived together for the last 5 years. They get along well but Luna is very particular about other dogs, she is very much an alpha. We would like for them to stay together but they need a home that has the time to give them love and attention. Fenced yard is recommended as they do not do well with electric fences and in true husky fashion they love to explore with or without their human. They are both fixed, microchipped, and current on rabies vaccination.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jetson is 2 years old and weighs 35 lbs and came from a breeder that was selling his dogs due to relocation and he’s a sweet boy but I was told he would be fine in an apartment setting and home alone but once I got him he started experiencing separation anxiety likely due to having to leave his breeder and not having proper socialization from a young age. As I said he is a sweet sweet boy and I would love to keep him but I just don’t have the proper time and skills to socialize a dog (all my previous pets had been socialized before I adopted them) I reached out to his breeder and he has expressed that he cannot take him back. His parents are both akc certified and I have all of his shot records (it took about 1.5 days for him to get used to me)
