Story
Meet Osiris. He's a 2 year old neutered Shepard/Husky mix. Osiris is a special guy. He needs to go home with someone willing to take him for walks on a leash several times a day. He is a fence jumper with a serious desire to explore. He also finds small animals very interesting, so he cannot go to a home with cats. Osiris can be very chill once he's had the opportunity to get some much needed exercise. He would make a great companion in an apartment.December 15, 2025, 2:16 pm

Story
🐾 Meet Kemish — Our Shy-but-Sweet Shepherd Boy! 🐾 Kemish is a 7-month-old German Shepherd Dog with the gentlest soul. He’s still learning how big and brave the world can be, so he needs someone who can help him build confidence. 💛 With the people he’s gotten to know here at the shelter, Kemish is a total sweetheart — still a bit standoffish at first, but once he trusts you, he becomes a loving, snuggly companion who just wants to be close. We’re currently helping him with leash training, and he’s making progress every day! What Kemish needs most is a patient, calm, and confident person who can show him the world isn’t so scary. With the right partner, this boy will bloom into the incredible dog we know he can be. 🌼🐕 If you have the time, love, and patience to give, Kemish is ready to give his heart right back. ❤️ 👉 Send us a message or stop by the shelter to meet him! Let’s help this sweet boy find the home he deserves. 🏡🐾

Story
A young, athletic, and friendly dog who's just about the most well-rounded dog you'll ever meet! I'm not just playful and cute, though - I'm also smart as a whip. I've been told I've got a very gentle disposition, too, which just adds to my charm. I get along with other dogs, kids, and other animals (not sure about those cats though!) just fine and make friends quickly. If you're looking for a fun-loving, clever, and gentle companion, look no further -I'm the one for you!
