Story
Meet Russell… the shelter’s most confused supermodel. Russell would like to file a formal complaint with management. He has the handsome face. He put on the royal blue bandana. He perfected the “thoughtful model pose.” And yet… somehow… he’s still waiting. Russell truly cannot understand it. Because if you ask him, he’s clearly leading-man material. This striking Husky mix has those icy blue eyes that stop people mid-scroll, a gorgeous coat, and a personality that balances playful and sweet. He’s the kind of dog who looks like he belongs in an outdoor gear commercial… or curled up on your couch supervising movie night. Russell’s Highlights • Handsome Husky mix with striking blue eyes • Friendly and social • Gets along with other dogs • Cats: unsure • Keeps his kennel clean (a great sign for house training!) • Loves attention and being near his people Russell has been patiently watching other dogs head off to their new homes and quietly wondering when it will finally be his turn. He doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone to see him and decide he’s the one. And honestly… with that face? We’re still shocked no one has scooped him up yet.

Story
Husky lovers… we’ve got one that will steal the whole show. Meet Bernice — aka Bernie — and yes… she knows she’s stunning. Those ice-blue eyes don’t just look at you… they evaluate you. That little smirk? It says she already has a plan. And that Husky personality? Fully charged and ready for action. Bernie is one year old and everything people love (and respect) about the breed: smart, expressive, athletic, and just the right amount of dramatic. She bonds deeply with her people — the kind of dog who doesn’t just live in your home… she becomes part of your daily rhythm. Your sidekick. Your shadow. Your “what are we doing next?” partner. Bernie at a Glance • 1 year old Husky • Sweet and affectionate with her people • Highly intelligent and alert • Thrives with structure and engagement What Bernie Needs • Secure fenced-in yard (non-negotiable for this explorer) • No small dogs • No cats • No small children • Experienced owner who understands the Husky mindset Bernie isn’t a “set it and forget it” kind of dog. She’s a “let’s go, let’s think, let’s LIVE” kind of dog. If you love Huskies for their bold personalities, their brains, and their big energy — she is exactly what you’ve been looking for. And once she chooses you… you’ll know.

Story
💔 June Bug’s life almost ended because she wanted love. 💔June Bug is a 3-year-old Husky mix, spayed female, and she has already been abandoned more than once. She was adopted, put outside, and left to figure life out on her own. Confused and desperate, she kept escaping… searching for someone who would keep her safe.She wandered into another town before finally being picked up. Thankfully, she was microchipped and made her way back to the humane society where she had been previously adopted. Now June Bug is safe — but her heart is still waiting.She is so smart, gentle, and full of love to give. She doesn’t seem to mind cats and just needs quiet, slow introductions when meeting new dogs. What she really needs is a family who won’t give up on her again.June Bug didn’t run away because she was bad.She ran because she wanted a home.Please help us give this girl the happy ending she has been trying so hard to find.Her forever family is out there… she just needs them to see her. 🐾💔➡️❤️To adopt one of our animals please fill out an application here: https://form.jotform.com/243198707777170You can also stop by the Rescue Center during normal business hours - Tuesday thru Saturday from 10a-3pm
