Story
❤️ Some call it boring. Sumi calls it SAFE. ❤️Meet Sumi, a breathtakingly beautiful Husky/Shepherd mix with long legs, a lean frame, and a face that could stop you in your tracks. She is absolutely STUNNING. But behind those beautiful eyes is a little girl who hasn’t always known kindness.Sumi and her sister spent most of their lives confined to a kennel. They missed out on so many of the simple things every dog deserves. Freedom, comfort, security, and the feeling of truly belonging somewhere.Because of her past, Sumi is shy. She’s learning that the world doesn’t have to be scary and that not every hand will hurt her. She doesn’t need a home full of excitement and adventure. She needs something much more meaningful.A routine. A predictable day. A soft place to sleep. A family that keeps its promises.Some people might call that boring. Sumi calls it safe. ❤️Sumi likes kiddos, is housebroken, and is kennel trained. She’s not asking for perfection. She’s just asking for patience, consistency, and someone willing to let her blossom at her own pace.And perhaps the most heartbreaking part? Despite everything she’s been through, Sumi still wants to give someone her whole heart.She just needs someone who won’t break it. 🥹❤️Please help us find this beautiful girl the peaceful, loving forever home she’s waited her entire life to know.🐾 Sumi is waiting at Marion County Animal Control.❤️ Please share. Her person might be just one share away.Thank you for taking the time to look at our precious "pound puppies" If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at 730-272-1071.

Biscuit is a big, lovable goofball. Despite his size, he is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He loves playing with people and other dogs, but he's equally happy entertaining himself or settling in for affection and snuggles. He has been a wonderful family dog.

He is: - Neutered - Up to date on vaccinations - House trained using a dog door - Crate trained as a puppy - Raised in a home with children and good with kids - Good with other dogs - Affectionate, playful and very people-oriented - Familiar with basic commands including sit, shake and high five.

Diva is looking for her forever person! At just 11 months old and 48 pounds, Diva is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix with a BIG heart and a personality to match her name! Diva is an incredibly smart, loving, and highly trainable girl. She is what we lovingly call a Velcro dog—if you're moving, she wants to know where you're going! She absolutely loves being glued to your side and soaking up attention from her favorite person. Diva does have some anxieties, so she needs someone who understands that she may need time, patience, consistency, and training while she learns what it means to live in a home. She previously lived outside, so she is not potty trained yet and will need someone willing to teach her the basics of being a house dog. A few things to know about Diva: Learning how to play and interact with other dogs — she needs time to adjust and someone willing to work with her. Likes some cats (but may chase to play)  Not potty trained yet Very smart and highly trainable ❤️ Extremely loving and affectionate Total Velcro girl who wants to be by your side Needs someone committed to helping her build confidence and learn Diva isn't looking for someone who expects her to be perfect on day one. She's looking for someone who will give her a chance, put in the work, and let her blossom at her own pace. With the right person, this gorgeous girl has the potential to be an amazing companion. ❤️ If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will happily follow you everywhere, Diva may be your girl!

Poirot

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We got Poirot to be a companion to our aging Malamute who had recently lost his friend, our 12 yr old German Shepherd. Poirot did the trick and seemed to lift our malamute’s spirits until he also passed away. Now Poirot is an only dog and we have full time jobs with 2 little girls under 4 yrs old. Poirot is a little too big and active for them so we don’t spend much time with him. We feel that at this point in our lives, we aren’t able to give Poirot his best life and are seeing if some other family has a lot of love to give.
