Story
Bruno is 5 yrs old.. he will be 6 in October. He loves to cuddle and get attention. Bruno also loves the outdoors. You can’t keep him away from balls and anything you choose to fetch with. He does best in a yard but has lots of experience in an apartment. He is fully crate trained and potty trained as well. Bruno loves veggies, especially when they are mixed in his food, he considers them a treat. Bruno is a little shy but as soon as you start to play fetch with him, he warms up. Bruno deserves a loving family that is going to continue to love and treat him like a family member. Bruno will be massively missed in my home!!

Story
Meet Zeek, a stoic, easygoing boy who shows his love in his own quiet way. He might come across as a bit of an introvert at first, but when he's ready for attention, he'll let you know, walking right over to you and placing his head in your lap. His favorite way to spend time is simply lounging next to his person, just being together without any fuss!

If you're interested in adopting, please fill out the application on our website. A yard is required! Another playful dog highly recommended! Meet Remy 16 Pounds of Pure Joy Seeks Full-Time Running Buddy & Co-Sleeper! Hello potential best friend! My name is Remy, and I am a one-year-old, 16-pound bundle of dynamic energy, sharp brains, and unconditional love. I am officially neutered, fully up-to-date on all my vaccines, and ready to find my permanent home base. If you are looking for a sidekick who is equal parts athletic champion and expert bedtime cuddler, look no further! My Daily Routine & Favorite ActivitiesI might be on the smaller side, but my heart and my energy levels are absolutely massive! I am looking for an active human who loves to move just as much as I do. My absolute favorite things in the world include:The Need for Speed: I love to run! Whether we are jogging around the neighborhood, hitting a trail, or sprinting in the yard, I am your guy. Toy Time: I am a toy enthusiast. If it squeaks, bounces, or can be fetched, I will happily play with it for hours. Making Best Friends: I am incredibly social. I love every single dog I meet and consider everyone a future playmate. My Special Talents & Treats My foster family tells me I am incredibly smart. I pick up on things super fast and love having a job to do or a puzzle to solve.If you want to teach me some cool new tricks, all you need is a bag of freeze-dried treats. I will do absolute backflips for them! I am highly motivated, eager to please, and ready to show you just how fast a clever guy like me can learn. The Bedtime Routine (My Best Feature)While I am a high-speed athlete by day, I have a very strict rule for the nighttime: I sleep in the big bed with my person. Once the sun goes down and my battery finally hits zero, there is nothing I love more than curling up right next to you under the blankets. I am the ultimate personal space invader in the absolute best way possible. My Ideal Human I would thrive in an active home where I get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. Having another playful dog in the house would be a dream come true, but as long as I get to run and go on adventures, I will be a happy camper.If you think you can keep up with my speed and have a Remy-sized spot under your duvet, please fill out an application today. I'm ready to run right into your heart! Yard required. Another playful dog highly recommended. Adoption Process Application Submission Start by completing our adoption application on our website.

Story
I purchased my beautiful, purebred Siberian Husky from a breeder in San Diego, who personally flew her to me as a puppy and delivered her at the airport. She is purebred and I have her papers. She is microchipped, incredibly intelligent, affectionate, and full of personality.She is very friendly, gets along wonderfully with children and adults, and enjoys being around other pets. She is youthful, playful, energetic, and absolutely beautiful, with striking blue eyes.I'm looking for a loving, responsible forever home where she will be treated like family. Her ideal family will have the time, patience, and energy to give her plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. She deserves a home where she can thrive, be happy, and receive all the love she has to give.
