Story
Meet Bailey and Charlie! They are both Maltese/Yorkie mixes; Bailey (the lighter colored one) is a female around age 16, and Charlie (the darker colored one) is a male around age 12-13. These two senior pups came to Husky House when their elderly owner unfortunately passed away. Bailey and Charlie are sweet, affectionate dogs who love to be pet, held, and sit in your lap. They are good with people and other dogs; they have never been cat tested, but would likely also do well with cats. Please help these sweet seniors live out their golden years in a loving home!

Meet Milo! Rescued after an extremely rough start, Milo is doing very well in his foster home. According to his foster mom, he has put on 3 lbs, and is starting to play and really show his adorable personality. He is still eating multiple small meals a day to help him gain weight and he continues to get stronger every day. He will have an appointment at the end of the month with our surgeon to recheck his leg. Interested in adopting Milo?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Benny is a handsome Maltese-Poodle mix who is looking for a new home! Benny was adopted to a loving couple a few years ago, but sadly, his owners can no longer care for him due to their ongoing health issues. He is currently in foster in NJ ready to find a forever home where he can live out his golden years.  Benny is the sweetest little dog and the most loyal of companions. He gets very attached to his person/people, but he loves everyone, including all animals, though we do think he would do best with older kids who will be gentle with him. Benny is pretty mellow, but occasionally he’ll want to play fetch and keep away with his lambchop toy.  Benny would do best in a home that is understanding of the needs of a senior dog and someone who is home a lot. Due to his arthritis, he does not go on walks, but will go out in the yard briefly. He also cannot do stairs and needs to be carried up/down them. He goes to the bathroom outside and on pee pads, but does have an occasional accident. He has cataract and slight age related hearing loss, but overall he is in good health.    Benny is micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines, heartworm and flea & tick preventatives.  Benny tested negative for heartworm.  His adoption fee is $300.  After all Benny has been through, he deserves a loving, committed home.        Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care, at minimum, exercise, enrichment, grooming, etc ... Pet care is not cheap nor easy and adopters should consider the cost, and time prior to adoption.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 6, 2026, 6:26 pm

Story
• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup!

Story
Meet Bella — a gentle, affectionate pup searching for a warm and patient home. She is part a deeply bonded pair with Chanel. Bella may not be able to see the world around her, but she feels every bit of it especially the love she receives from best friend, Chanel. This sweet, completely blind senior girl navigates life with a brave and tender heart, finding her confidence through the presence of Chanel. The two are inseparable, and Bella's trust in Chanel is one of the most touching things you'll ever witness between two animals. Bella is calm and deeply affectionate. She loves nothing more than curling up on the couch for a long snuggle session, and she'll happily nestle right on top of Chanel while they wait for their person to come home who is always greeted with the sweetest howls and barks of pure excitement. She enjoys short walks outside, but once she's done her business, she's ready to be scooped up and held close. For Bella, the world feels safer in someone's snuggly arms. Bella is looking for a home filled with patience, gentleness, and warmth. If you’re looking for gentle companions who are always ready to warm up your day, Bella and Chanel are waiting to meet you. Please fill out and submit an adoption application today.
