Story
Where are our husky lovers? Meet Claudia, a 1-year-old female Husky, and her father Maddox — a bonded father–daughter duo who must be adopted together. Claudia is medium-sized at around 40 pounds and embodies the classic Husky spirit with a confident, curious nature. She is the braver of the pair and often helps her dad feel safe, showing him that the world — and people — can be kind. Maddox, about 3 years old, is more shy and timid, but he clearly takes comfort in staying close to his daughter. Their bond is deep, steady, and unbreakable. Maddox and Claudia were found running loose across Webster County after suffering severe neglect. They are now safe with Saving Webster Dogs, but they are currently living in outside kennels and urgently need the comfort of a real home. Despite everything they’ve been through, both dogs are trying so hard. They’re learning the routines of everyday dog life, starting to come to the front of their kennels when visitors arrive, and responding beautifully to gentle, patient human touch. Each day brings a little more confidence, and it’s clear they crave love and connection. These two do best with calm interactions, patience, and consistency. Claudia’s confidence helps lead the way, while Maddox quietly follows her reassurance. With time, warmth, and kindness, they will blossom into deeply loyal, affectionate companions. Time truly matters. Cold nights in outside kennels are no place for dogs who have already endured so much. If you have the heart, patience, and space for two deserving souls — and for a bond that cannot be broken — Maddox and Claudia are ready to meet you. Maddox and Claudia are available for adoption or rescue and must be adopted together. If you’re interested in giving them the safe, loving home they deserve, please consider applying to adopt or sharing their story to help them find warmth and love — together.

Story
Brody is a big, lean boy at about 65 pounds, with a beautiful buff-colored coat that really shows off his houndy good looks. He can be a little revved up in his kennel, but once he’s out and settled, his true personality shines. In our photo area, Brody relaxed quickly and made it clear that what he wants most is love—lots of it. He is a friendly, affectionate “leaner” who loves to press in close and soak up attention. Brody is very people-centered, enjoys being around his humans, and is both dog and people friendly. He thrives on interaction and would love a home where he can be included as part of the family. Brody is a sweet, loving guy who will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an affectionate, social dog with a big heart and an even bigger desire to be loved. Brody is up to date on all required vaccines and will be neutered prior to adoption. If interested in learning more about Brody, please complete our adoption application linked below.

Story
Meet Bo — your future best friend just waiting to bloom. Bo is a 3–4 year old mixed-breed boy with a wonderfully unique look. We think there may be some St. Bernard in him, maybe some Bulldog, heck maybe even a touch of Cane Corso… but really, Bo is one of a kind. He starts out a little shy, but don’t let that fool you—Bo warms up quickly and, once he does, his sweet personality shines. He’s a gentle, calm, and affectionate boy who truly enjoys being around people. He’s also dog-friendly and does well with canine friends. Bo is still gaining confidence, and it’s been beautiful to watch him come out of his shell more each day. He has a soft, loving nature and would thrive in a home that gives him patience, kindness, and a cozy place to call his own. Bo is: Neutered Up to date on vaccines Gentle and calm People and dog friendly Very sweet and affectionate Bo is ready for his forever home—one where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished for the rest of his life. If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted companion, Bo just might be your perfect match.
