Story
***My adoption fee is waived until 7/18/2026 with a grant from Petfinder. Please come to the shelter and meet me.**Titan is a 2-year-old husky mix who was a deeply loved member of his previous family. Sadly, they had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender him due to severe allergies, despite trying everything they could to make it work. Titan lived with children and did wonderfully with them, proving himself to be a friendly, social, and affectionate companion. He loves adventures, outings, and has never met a stranger — whether human or canine! Titan enjoys playgroups and would thrive with an active family ready to include him in all of life’s fun moments.

Story
Tika is a two year old mix of Husky and pit. She is riddled with anxiety and I sadly do not have the mindset for her. She developed it about 6 months ago. Not sure where or why. Routine has been normal? I think she needs a home with smaller dogs than her. Bigger dogs give her too much anxiety. She's never bitten anyone. She's a sweet girl, we just don't have the environment she needs to flourish. She loves treats and stuffed toys. Separation anxiety as well. Will do okay in a kennel if she has something to distract her with. She will pee if she fears the situation or meets new people. She does well with kids after warming up to them. Is wary of men. Likes most women. Doesn't do that great on a leash. Could probably get better with time and patience. Does great with baths though. I have had her on a Skin and coat Diamond dog food so she hasn't developed any allergies to my knowledge. Her birthday is April 30, 2024

Story
This is Apollo. He was rescued as a stray from a shelter back in November, we believe he's about 3 years old. We're not sure of the kind of life Apollo had before the shelter, but we know he has so much love in him. He is a remarkable dog, he's fast and silly and will steal your heart immediately. In the beginning, Apollo was a seasoned escape-artist, as many of his breed are. After he adapted to life with us, his desire to escape has lessened tremendously.Unfortunately, as Apollo got more comfortable, his separation anxiety got worse. He refuses the crate, he panics when left alone even briefly, and he has become more reactive with his play. Apollo is NOT an aggressive dog, but he does play very rough with my young child and has been increasing in intensity to get us to this point.We do not have the ability to contain and train in the way that he needs right now, and that breaks our hearts. We are looking to help him find an experienced owner who can help him live his best life.

Story
I got Koda from a dog pound in Larimer County Colorado at 8 months old. He is now 4 years old. What I look for in his new home is someone that is able to provide a safe loving environment where he can run around! But to also go on walks around the neighborhood! He is fun loving and very playful.

Or, how about these Huskies in cities near Independence, Missouri

Story
Hello! I'm Stella. But my friends call me Stella Bella. Before we go any further, I'd like to ask an important question: Do you have a job opening? Because I'm pretty sure I was born to work. I'm about 50 pounds of brains, beauty, and enthusiasm, and if you ask the girls that rescued me, they'll tell you I'm one of the smartest dogs they've ever met. Personally, I don't like to brag... Okay, that's not true. I absolutely like showing off my skills. Want to see me sit? Easy. Lay down? Done. High five? You got it. Spin? Absolutely. Touch? Of course. Bark on command? Happy to. Need help solving a puzzle toy? I'll have it figured out before you've finished reading the instructions. My favorite thing in the world is having something to do. Walks, runs, training sessions, puzzle games, sniff mats, lick trays, chasing balls, learning new tricks—sign me up for all of it. I come from a long line of "must stay busy" dogs, and while nobody is quite sure what mix I am, it's very clear that somebody in my family tree was serious about having a job. You may also notice my eyes. One blue. One brown. They're pretty hard to forget. My shelter moms says my ears are equally impressive. They're always listening for important information, like "Want to go for a walk?" or "Who's a good girl?" or "Ready to learn something new?" When I'm not busy being brilliant, I have a softer side too. I enjoy cuddling, getting pets, and simply hanging out with my people. I'm not the type who needs to be in your lap every second, but I love being nearby. Think of me as your loyal assistant, always ready for the next adventure but perfectly content relaxing beside you after a job well done. I get along well with other dogs and love a good romp. In fact, I sometimes like to herd my dog friends around just to make sure everyone is staying organized. Somebody has to supervise, right? I'm athletic, active, and always ready to go. Because of my impressive jumping abilities, I'll need a home with a secure 6-foot privacy fence. A chain-link fence is basically a suggestion in my mind, and I've been known to demonstrate that. My ideal family will be experienced, active, and excited about having a dog who wants to participate in life. I don't just want a backyard—I want adventures, training sessions, games, walks, and opportunities to use this very busy brain of mine. What I'm really looking for is a partner. Someone who sees a smart dog and thinks, "Let's learn things together." Someone who wants a hiking buddy, a training buddy, a walking buddy, and a best friend. Someone who appreciates that behind these beautiful eyes is a dog who wants a purpose, a challenge, and a family to love. If you're looking for a couch potato, I'm probably not your girl. But if you're looking for a brilliant sidekick who will make you laugh, impress your friends, and happily join you on every adventure, I think we might be the perfect match. Now...What are we learning next? Love, Stella Bella
