Teddy is a smart and silly dog with a heart full of adventure - without all the adventures! He loves to explore and spend time in the yard and lie in the sun. He gets along with other dogs very well! Though Teddy is still very shy and timid with humans, he still loves to follow you around, see what you are up to, and to be near you! With a little patience and love, he'll be the perfect companion for your home. He is only for someone who has the patience to give him TIME! After living a life outdoors, he is just so grateful to be inside a home at all! If you're looking for a dog who will open up with time and patience, Teddy is the one for you! We have a LOT of experience with the super shy ones, and we KNOW they all come out of their shell and end up being easy peasy companions full of gratitude and love. Teddy also has an enlarged esophagus and needs to be fed WET FOOD (not kibble) or he will throw it up. With wet food he has been fine for 2 straight weeks - so far (starting in early March)! Yay!

Story
Meet Darling Delilah, the ultimate gentle soul. This serene, sweet girl is the definition of peaceful companionship. She’s quiet, polite, and affectionate in the most heart-melting way. Delilah loves soft squeaky toys, sunbathing in the yard, and cozy mornings wrapped in blankets. She’s perfectly house-trained, delightfully low-maintenance, and has an old-soul calmness that makes every moment with her feel peaceful. Watch Delilah's video here to see what she's all about! https://youtu.be/c6RDfEGPsB0?si=FRzpErgKgC6DJp5N Delilah’s house manners are impeccable. She sleeps through the night either at the foot of the bed, on one of her dog beds, or on the couch in the living room. She patiently waits for her foster parents to wake and take her outside. She can be quite goofy, doing a joyful zoom back to the house after a good potty break, just to celebrate her success. Delilah’s ideal day includes a leisurely morning walk or yard time, a little toy time (especially anything that squeaks), and of course, snack time. When her foster parents leave, she is free to roam in the house, never destructive. Truly, she’s a dream dog for someone who appreciates calm companionship. She’s brave with all sorts of noises, like thunder, vacuums, trash trucks, and fireworks, and none of it fazes her. Delilah is also the perfect work-from-home buddy: quiet, content, and always close by if you need a little furry comfort during your day. She's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear or nose scratch, almost as if she knew you needed a five-minute break from work. As for the rest of the time, she's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or curling up with a good chew toy. Delilah can be a little shy at first, as new people and new places can make her a bit uncertain. With some time and gentle patience to help her realize she is safe and loved, she bonds deeply and adores her people with her whole heart. She’ll follow you from room to room, greet you like you’ve been gone for ages (even if it’s only been five minutes), and roll over for belly rubs. Delilah loves time with her teenage human fosters, and appreciates the sturdiness of older kids because she loves to lean her whole body in for affection, lay on a lap like a 5lb chihuahua, and occasionally roughhouse play. Delilah thrives in a semi-active home that enjoys neighborhood walks, hiking adventures, and relaxed time in the yard. A family or individual who appreciates nature and is ready to explore trails or snowy landscapes would be a wonderful match. While she loves the great outdoors, she equally values her downtime indoors and settles in beautifully after activity. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard… a place where she can stretch her legs, roll in the grass, and soak up the sun. When it comes to other dogs, Delilah is currently living with quite the crew; from goofy puppies to large adult dogs and even a tiny Chihuahua. She prefers calm interactions and doesn’t enjoy rowdy play. She would do best with a submissive, easygoing dog that matches her cool, collected personality. That said, she would also be perfectly happy as your one and only pup, as her loyalty and devotion to her people run deep. A home without cats is a must, as Delilah shows far too much interest in them. If you have experience with Huskies, you know they thrive with structure, routine, and consistency. Delilah is an easygoing girl for the most part, but like most Huskies, she does best with daily mental stimulation and regular physical activity. A predictable schedule, clear boundaries, and some enrichment go a long way in keeping her happy and well-balanced. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
We have had Blue since he was a puppy and he's a typical husky. He's very expressive, and talkative, he will let you know when he is sad or happy. He's very athletic and has quite the jumping ability. He won't escape though. He fully understands boundaries and will stay in the yard even when the fence is open. He's very cuddly, which could be bad since he is a full grown dog. He is a happy boy and is leash trained, he is a little scared of strangers while he's on the leash, he only barks and has never shown aggression towards a human. The reason why we are rehoming him is because we have four dogs, and blue is a reactive dog. If he feels threatened he will unfortunately fight the other dog. He needs to go to a home with no other dogs present. He has had to spend more time in his crate than what we think is fair to any dog. So ideally, putting him in a home where he is more free is what we are looking for. Feel free to ask questions.

Meet Charlie — a big-hearted, high-energy companion looking for his perfect home. Charlie is a nearly 100-pound bundle of joy with a playful spirit and an even bigger personality. He thrives on interaction and loves to stay active, making him a great match for someone who enjoys engaging, energetic dogs. Whether it’s playtime, training, or just being by your side, Charlie is happiest when he’s involved. He’s both food- and praise-motivated, which makes him very responsive and eager to learn. Charlie already shows great focus on his handler and enjoys working together, though he can get excited and pull on the leash during walks. With a bit of consistent training, he has all the potential to become a wonderful walking companion. Charlie is a social guy who gets along well with both people and the other dog in the home. He greets new friends with enthusiasm! One important thing to know is that Charlie doesn’t like being left alone for long periods. He is working with the behavior Team at Hannah to help with these things. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and lively dog who will bring energy and love into your life, Charlie might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Midnight — the tall, stunning, floppy-eared dreamboat with eyes as warm as melted chocolate and a coat that glows like bronze in the sunshine! 🌙✨ This 3-year-old Malamute/Husky mix (we think!) is basically the canine version of a supermodel… if that supermodel also happened to be a total goofball who loves belly rubs, splashy pool parties, and zooming in circles just for the joy of it. From the moment you meet him, Midnight’s charm is impossible to resist. He’s got that big, easy grin, a tail that never stops wagging, and a “hi, I love you already” kind of energy that makes you instantly fall head over heels. When we met him, he popped his head out the car window just to say hello — tail thumping, eyes sparkling, already making friends before his paws even hit the ground. That’s Midnight in a nutshell: confident, happy, and so full of life. Watch Midnight's personality shine in his video! https://youtu.be/zD5VOftQENw?si=Q2MOviX1hAr6ljAz He’s also seriously affectionate. The minute you crouch down, he leans his whole big body into you for pets and kisses, like he’s trying to soak up every ounce of love you’ll give him (and then some). He’s that perfect mix of adventure dog and cuddle bug — equally thrilled to go on a long hike or flop beside you on the couch like a giant, fuzzy blanket with legs. And when it comes to dog friends? Midnight is an absolute blast. 🎉 He’s super social and loves to play rough-and-rowdy style with his buddies — big bouncy play bows, zooming laps, goofy wrestling, and lots of splashing in the kiddie pool mid-play just because he can. He does great with confident, playful dogs (especially sassy females who can keep up and tell him when to chill). He’s got that big personality that other confident dogs love, and once the play settles, he’s happy to lounge and soak up the vibes. He’s the kind of dog who’d be perfect for someone who loves adventures — hikes, beach trips, park playdates, or just neighborhood strolls where everyone stops to say “wow, he’s gorgeous!” (which, trust us, they will). Despite being part husky, Midnight’s surprisingly quiet — he doesn’t have much to say, he just wags, wiggles, and wins hearts wherever he goes. Midnight would thrive in a home with a yard to romp around in or an active person or family who wants a loyal, silly, handsome sidekick for all their outings. He’d do great with kids and loves being part of the fun. He’s one of those dogs that just fits right into the rhythm of family life — happy to go, happy to stay, as long as he’s got his people and plenty of love. Did we mention how ridiculously good-looking he is? Because truly, this boy could be on the cover of Dog Vogue. His rich brown coat shines in the light, his fur looks like velvet, and his expressive face always looks like he’s smiling. Add in his long legs, fluffy tail, and slightly dorky zoomies, and you’ve got yourself a dog who’s both model material and comedian of the year. Midnight is the total package — stunning, sweet, playful, and full of personality. He’s the kind of dog that turns heads, steals hearts, and makes every day brighter just by being his big, silly, perfect self. 💕 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Badger was supposed to quietly die at the shelter. He was listed as an 8-year-old husky mix and when he first arrived here, I honestly thought he was even older and possibly a hospice case. He was stiff, skinny, frozen in fear, and barely moved. But once I put him with younger dogs, something changed. Little by little, Badger started acting young again. He started following the other dogs around, exploring the property, splashing in the pond, and rediscovering happiness. Now he feels like an entirely different dog. I do not know his exact age, but I genuinely believe he is younger than the shelter estimated and he clearly still has a lot of life left in him. Badger now weighs around 60 lbs and is an awesome dog to live with. He walks well on leash, is extremely food motivated, and loves being part of daily life. He is also incredibly good with other dogs and especially gentle with puppies. He lets them climb all over him and will even let them steal his food without reacting. He did eventually figure out how to climb out of the 6-foot chain link kennel, because husky. But unlike a typical husky, he has absolutely no desire to run off or disappear. He mostly stays near the kennel area, follows me on walks, or goes down to the pond for a quick dip before coming back. I honestly don’t even put him up when I leave because he simply doesn’t go anywhere. Badger does great with other dogs overall, though because of his size and goofy personality, he would probably do best with dogs that are confident and not easily intimidated. He is fine with my tiny Chihuahuas because they are bossy and fearless, but very nervous little dogs may get overwhelmed by him simply because he does not fully understand how big he is. Good fit: someone looking for a loyal, goofy, easygoing companion who still has plenty of life and adventure left in him without the nonstop chaos of a young husky. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $450 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, NY, NJ Think you might be a good fit?
